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.

Customer Review: not recommend
DVD player is not good. couple of my friends had samsung dvd player everybody has same problem.
Customer Review: Fire hazard
My wife purchased this system for me last Christmas to go with my new Samsung plasma. After operating the system for approximately 3 months, one night it began sparking and smoking and almost caught fire. I sent the dvd unit to Samsung who, in turn, sent it to some third party for repair. Rather than replacing the unit, the repair company replaced some parts and sent the original unit back to me. The unit still reaks of burnt plastic smell. This may be an isolated incident, but beware and do not leave the unit turned on while away for your home. I have been satisfied with its operation otherwise.

Customer Review: Stay away if you can
I'm on my fourth head unit, and this one only works intermittently. DVDs don't play, sound cuts out, on and on. Also, worst remote EVER. What's tragic is that while the head unit is clearly a piece of junk, the speakers are all great, and it sounds fantastic when it works. Now Cambridge isn't selling these any more. No surprise.
Customer Review: lots of problems
bought this 3 months ago. main unit burned out. base cube has lots of "connection problems". However, when it was working it sounded great. It was very stubborn to play certain dvd's.(took a long time to load many dvd's and cd'd. i am returning it tomorrow.

Customer Review: Not bad for the price.
I purchased this product because I have a small apartment, space is an issue, and I did not want to install the typical 5 speakers in most home theater-in-a-box systems. I hooked it up to an inexpensive, no-name 32" LCD flat-screen HDTV and the system isn't bad and takes up very little space. It only has 100 watt outage power, but the sound is pretty good. It is basically a progressive scan DVD/CD player with a speaker system. Although the speakers are wall-mountable, I did not mount them. So far so good and I am happy with the purchase. The system fit my needs perfectly.

KEF KHT2005.2 Black 5.1-Channel Home Theater System

noreply@blogger.com (Corynn) — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 19:12:00 +0000

KEF has always been renowned for design integrity, and the new KHT 2005.2 is no exception. The parabolic cast aluminium enclosures of the satellite speakers are computer optimised to minimise internal resonance and distortion for a purer, cleaner sound. And being identical, there's a perfect tonal match between the front and rear surround speakers and the centre channel, which can be placed horizontally either above or below the TV. The ingenious base of each speaker allows you to place them virtually anywhere - on any flat surface, at any angle on walls, or on the optional stands. And as they're fully magnetically shielded, there's no risk of interference with other equipment nearby. With the original KHT 2005 system, KEF engineers wanted to create a flexible, compact system that delivered audiophile quality 3D sound at an affordable price - and the awards it received underline how well they succeeded. KHT 2005.2 has taken things a step further, with a comprehensively upgraded specification that brings listening enjoyment to a new level: perfect sound, wherever you are. A powerful, accurate subwoofer adds weight, depth and intensity to the 3D sound image, and the output of KEF's new slot port design has been increased by 10dB at 30Hz. The integral 250 Watt amplifier drives a forward-firing long-throw 250mm (10) bass unit with exceptionally low distortion characteristics for clean, well defined low frequency response throughout the room. This generously extended bass can be fine-tuned to suit your set-up and preferences, with a variable slope switch to ensure seamless integration with the satellite speakers, a ground lift switch to prevent hum and switchable cinema/music modes to provide extra punch for reproducing the full impact of movie special effects.
Customer Review: Great buy
This is a great buy. Most small speakers like this are missing a lot of midrange sound, but these suprised me. When you pick one of them up, you'll know you're dealing with quality because they're heavy as hell. They mount easily to the walls or sit great on shelves too. The sub is plenty to fill even a large living room. It sounds better than any Bose system I've heard (I've always thought Bose is overrated anyway) and is much cheaper. I paired it with the SR-605 Onkyo receiver. Great receiver by they way. HDMI 1.3 compatible, 7.1 output, 90W per ch, a plethora of inputs all go to one HDMI out. Great buy!

Onkyo HT-SR800 7.1 Home Theater Entertainment System (Black)

noreply@blogger.com (Corynn) — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 04:14:00 +0000

When it comes to all-in-one home theater, the HT-SR800 has made a clean break from the pack. You're looking at packaged home theater that neatly integrates your high-definition entertainment and your HDTV through an HDMI channel that transports video with a resolution all the way up to 1080p. Ably supported by component video switching, the HT-SR800 will handle most of the A/V components or formats currently available, as well as the spectacular quality of high-definition discs. Also, reinforcing the convenience of matched components, this package is the first to use an Audyssey room-correction technology specifically designed for integrated systems.
Customer Review: Onkyo HT-SR800
I was able to accompish two projects purchasing this unit. First, was to own a very good theater system for under $500. The second, was to be able to eliminate the need for a second receiver which powered my home stereo system. I took the advise from some in their past reviews regarding the speaker wires. Did not use, purchased a heavier gauge wire. Only other feature I would liked to have had, would be smaller size surround speakers. No regrets with this purchase. It is hard to find a product that will meet all your requirements. I can always buy the smaller speakers separately.
Customer Review: Great sound and connectivity
I bought this system for my home theater and I love it. My media room already had four speakers (two front and two rear) flush mounted in the walls, but I wanted to buy a full Home Theater in a Box (HTiB) to get the other speakers for full surround. I also planned to hook this system up to a PS3 for Blu-Ray playback. Most HTiB systems come with a receiver that has built a built in DVD player. I didn't want to get a wasted DVD that way. Also, those systems have very few input options. What I loved about this box is what you see of the images of the back. This receiver has all kinds input so I had no problem connecting the cable, PS3, and PS2 plus I could connect a few other game boxes if I wanted. The sound is remarkable. I'm often tempted to play the THX intro on movies over and over again just because it sounds so good across the whole range. High pitches are well produced and you can literally feel the bass. The self-configuring option is simple to do and works really well. Some people will note the minor drawback that the HDMI audio is only a pass through and you have to use other cables to connect the audio. Yes, this leads to buying two extra optical audio cables and makes the setup a tiny bit harder, but I didn't find it to be all that much of a challenge and the result was well worth it. As a last note, Onkyo packages this well. The UPS guy literally rolled the box up to my house and the Styrofoam packaging got crushed in some places, but it did its job and protected all the components which were in perfect shape.

Customer Review: Looks but no brains
Philips MCD288 Micro DVD Home Theater System with Subwoofer A very stylish system. It sounds good, but not great. If you plan to listen to it at low volumes there is a background hum that is quite annoying. At volume 4 and above, sounds really nice. Unfortunately, we bought it for our infant to listen to lullabies to get to sleep. We set it at 3 and there's a slight hum that annoys me. I'm sure my daughter won't mind, but if I had to do it over again I would not have purchased this one. There is no clock feature on this either.
Customer Review: fits for what is expected
Stylish, small, plays divx, complete in all functions Very good for small places. If you want a living room home theather don't buy this Fits for what is expected.I give 4 stars because divx subtitles have to be the same name of movie. I had to rename all my divx.movies and subtitles

Customer Review: DO NOT PURCHASE THIS PRODUCT!
In the beginning I thought it was the best thing since sliced bread, color coded, easy to set up and a good starter HT System with ok sound. But that soon changed. Three or four months after I had the unit, CD's & DVD's wouldn't load. I would open/eject a few times and they would eventually load. But then it just stopped loading altogether and it would display "disk error". I called support and was told that it must be the quality of the CD or DVD. I was told to get a disk cleaner. I sent them the unit and now we are going back and forth that it's now not under warranty! This product is a LEMON! I wish I had seen all the other reviews out there telling of this major issue! Samsung should recall this product!
Customer Review: Nice, bit I have an issue
I agree with all the positive reviews here, the sounds is nice. I did notive an improvement in the picture with progressive scan with the component cables. I have a JVC 52" rear projection HDTV. However, there is a glitch in the progressive scan, I'm not sure how to describe it, but it seems to glitch/freeze/spaz for a split second. Not sure what is going on, might be the TV, but progressive scan works fine with my Gamecube.

Customer Review: Looks good .... BUT....
As with the other reviews, I bought it for it's design and wireless rear speakers feature, and it's a Sony, so it must be good! Ha! The CD/DVD player is in fact the worst I've ever seen, and I've had a few over the years. I would much rather have a single disk system that works well, instead of this 5 disk system that gets 'lost in space'... It's extremely s.l.o.w and frustrating to use. I've owned this unit for over a year and my wife still won't touch it, as she see's the frustration I go through everytime I use the CD/DVD player (or try to anyway). The sound is only middle of the road ... not worth what I paid. Sorry Sony ... never again, there's too many other units on the market !
Customer Review: Basically junk
I bought this system a year ago, a family gift for Xmas. Christmas Eve this year, it swallowed a rented DVD and wouldn't let it go until I attacked it with screwdrivers. Now it seems to work again, but I'm going to dump it in the trash anyway. Basically, it's a piece of junk: 1. The sound is like it's coming up from a pool of mud. 2. The DVD player is slo-o-o-ow, and the control over DVD playing poor. My $69 Toshiba DVD player is worlds better mechanically. 3. The whole system is made up of proprietary components, so if you decide on a new amp/receiver/DVD player, you're out of luck. The speakers have to go too. Maybe it's all for the best. Mine is out the door tomorrow morning. I'm only afraid this may be a discontinued model, and no one will have the chance to benefit from this opinion.
