Bose LS12IIBLK Lifestyle 12 Series II Home Theater System (Black)

If you want the feel of the theater from the comfort of home, the Lifestyle 12 home theater system packs a powerful punch. Stretch out and hear the wonder of this surround sound system as you watch your favorite movies. From the latest thrillers to the classics of yesterday, the Lifestyle 12 system gives you most of the movie theater experience right from your couch. You may also choose to play CDs or watch television in full surround sound. The music center is equipped with an AM/FM tuner and a single CD player. And a radio frequency remote controls it all up to 60 feet away.Whether it's music, movies, or television, the Lifestyle 12 system can deliver lifelike sound at the push of a button. The system features both digital 5.1 decoding and Bose's proprietary Videostage 5 circuitry, giving you 5-channel surround sound from almost any source - DVDs, VHS tapes, CDs, even older mono television programs. Direct/Reflecting cube speaker arrays offer performance you'd expect from much larger speakers. No bigger than a coffee mug, these elegant speakers can blend easily into your decor but produce sound that should not go unnoticed.
Customer Review: My poor, poor mother-in-law...
...actually bought one of these, and you should've seen the look on her face when she came over to my house and heard a REAL home theater system! I felt so sorry for her, I offered to come over to her house and check that all the connections were properly set up. Well, I went and saw that yes all the speaker cables were correctly put in. In fact, she had gone out and used those gazillion dollar Monster cables, poor thing---she was always such a gullible, trusting woman. But that was that: there simply was no way around the simple fact that for the outrageous amount she paid for this system, it produced barely mediocre sound. Just lots of treble and some exaggerated bass, which would be okay if you only watch bang-bang-wham-bam-kaboom action movies. However, she loves musicals and dramas---which only exposed the total scam that this overhyped and overpriced Bose stuff really is. To their credit, Bose does however honor their money-back policy which UPS and FedEx probably appreciate greatly.
Customer Review: Move over ... the God's here
This is God himself.Make no distinctions about it.I have heard from many so called "Audiophiles"(basically a bunch of losers who think earth shattering bass and big balls is all there is to life) that Bose products are a waste,they are useless,they are over priced,bla,bla bla and the works.that is until i entered the Bose Store in Uptown,Bangalore,with my Pink Floyd DVD.Once it started playing "Shine on you crazy diamond", time stood still.Believe me.No one moved for another 6 mins,and that is the power of Bose,my friends. it is just different.it is just too good.it makes a clear distinction between hard bass,and depth bass.You get clarity and the depth of music is amazing.this is for the true connosiuers of music.audiophiles included. i suggest life isnt complete without a Bose.when u die,eventually,u will carry the musical tones in ur immortal journey to another world. ps: listen to Cafe Del Mar Vol.7 and Buddha Bar VOL 4 CD1,when it is raining and is cold outside.u will experience bliss.u will experience a high that will put crack and extacy to shame.this is life.this is why we all live.eventually help ur soul get liberated,by the Bose.Jesus ain't do it man.Bose do.
