WAY OVERPRICED

 

WAY OVERPRICED

Ok I must first say I do not own this product, A friend of mine does and let me say this system does sound very good. That being said I cannot see spending so much for this. Bose is NOT top of the line as they would like to think they are, just very...

Awesome sound for small speakers.

 

Awesome sound for small speakers.

Great surround sound. It sounds awesome even in my open living room space. Why buy from the local bose store when you can save on Amazon with no tax and the brackets are about half the price. Go check them out at your local bose store and you can...

Great all in one system

 

I purchaced these as a refurbished unit and saved 500.00 also got them with 12 mo. financing really a great deal. Yes i understand you can buy better components seperatly, but this really is a great all in one package. I know there are larger speakers...

Great all in one package ; I enjoy the streamlined look of the AMP and small speaker size. Sounds EXCELENT!!!! Have it in my large living room that's 20'x25' and it is LOUD and CLEAR ; I noticed that wall mounting the speakers enhanced the sound...

None so far

Techy guy who wanted 1 Remote Simplicity (and some good sounding surround sound)

OK, so all I wanted was a great surround system that would accept an optical cable to throw out surround, and did NOT want to have a large receiver sitting under my TV for just that only purpose. The Display being separated from the Media Unit is...

Not as good as I thought

 

Not as good as I thought

I purchased the Bose v-20 a couple of weeks ago. I have a PS3 for blu-ray, a new Samsung LCD, and Direct TV HD DVR hooked to the bose. The remote didn't initially work with anything until I figured out how to change it to IR. I had to search on line...

Mine works great

 

I received my Bose sound system several weeks ago, took an afternoon to hook up everything, and could not be more pleased. I have a mid-sized house (~2400 square feet) and the system will deliver sufficient volume that music or soundtracks, including...

Its just not what I expected

I bought this system 6 months ago, replacing my older Bose acoustimass 10 Series II with a Yamaha htr-5460 what a disappointment. By no means I am a music expert but Im guessing the speakers are fine. The amp is what Im thinking is lacking. It does not...

B.O.S.E

 

My suggestion is to look at something like the Onkyo Home theatre in a box if your looking that does everything. High current outpout means clean audio much better base response out of their powered sub will give you more of a theatre like experiance...

good sound for classical music lovers

B.ring ; O.ne ; S.uberwoofer ; E.xtra ; Thats what BOSE stands for.. I used to work in the home theatre field line of work doing installs and sales. All I will say about BOSE is that they are overpriced and way overrated. You can easilty spend 1000.00...

Bose lifestyle 20 - Overpriced

We bought the V20 a few weeks ago and after paying a not-so-modest amount for it PLUS the separate wireless receiver for the back speakers and spending a few hours hooking it up and calibrating; it comes as a dissapointment that the quality of the...

Having a 46" LCD with 1080P capability and a Sony BDP-300 Blu-ray player using a Panasonic dvd/cd surround system although sounded good we still wanted to up-grade to a better sound to go along with the excellent picture quality. We had heard a demo...

Product Specifications

When used with your widescreen TV, should home-theater sound be heard and seen? According to Bose, sound should only be heard. Bose makes it so easy with this out-of-box V20 system. TV and sound meld into an encompassing experience. Bose V20 home theater system offers HD compatibility for your DVD player and other components. Direct/Reflecting cube speakers deliver lifelike surround sound and our ADAPTiQ system customizes that sound to your room. Video upscaling ensures your movies and sports always use the highest resolution capabilities of your display, up to 1080p over HDMI. The Lifestyle V20 system presents a different approach to home-theater and a better way to experience it. There's no need for a large, complex receiver. Instead, connect your DVD player, gaming console and other high-definition components to the Bose V20's well-labeled media console. Your connections are concealed once you tuck the console out of view. All you see is a standalone display to receive and control system information. Realistic sound can make you feel like you're in the middle of the action. Direct/Reflecting cube speakers fill your room with compelling surround sound to bring movies, music and sports to life. These small speakers work in concert with a hideaway Acoustimass module. Its exclusive technology provides the emotional intensity you feel at the theater and rich, powerful lows you hear at a concert hall. Its impact can't be missed even when hidden out of sight.
