1.0 out of 5 stars I recommended it at first, but not any more..., October 2, 2011
This review is from: Bose� CineMate� 1 SR digital home theater speaker system (Electronics)
I purchased the Bose Sound Bar as an alternative to a 5.1 Surround System. Candidly, I had gotten to the point where form became more important than function. Yes, the purest of audiophiles will tell you that a soundbar just can't emulate true surround sound - and they might be right. But that wasn't important to me. I wanted a clean/professional look, without wires, that could deliver excellent quality sound.

After three days of use, I highlighted the following:

Pros:
- Very easy to set-up and install.
- Beautiful look, compact, and unassuming.
- Powerful room filling sound (think Avatar).
- Nice to have a Bose product sitting in front of the TV.

Cons:
- Cost - a little on the high side for some people.

All in, I felt really good about my purchase. That said, after more regular use, watching TV and Movies, I started to notice one important weakness in the unit that troubled me:

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for Medium to Small rooms, October 6, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Bose� CineMate� 1 SR digital home theater speaker system (Electronics)
Pros:
Very easy to setup.
Great quality sound from a smaller system.
Perfect for smaller rooms or apartments where space or wires are an issue.
Multiple placement options.
It definitely fills a room with sound.
It can reproduce the highs and lows well. Great for watching movies or listening to music.
Automatic room optimization is very useful for non-sound gurus.
It uses 5 separate drivers so you have a wider range potential for surround sound.
Packaging was great.
It does not feel cheap like some sound bars I have used. The manufacture is solid using high quality materials.

Cons:
COST!
It does not replace a full 5.1 system with full sized speakers. So you still have the same issue as other sound bars, just to a lesser extent.
I found that the main Digital optical In connector was a little finicky. It would move a little bit causing the sound to be completely lost if you did not have it in... Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars The High Cost of Mediocrity, December 15, 2011
This review is from: Bose� CineMate� 1 SR digital home theater speaker system (Electronics)
I purchased the Bose unit with high expectations and found that the unit does a good of improving on the speakers imbedded in my Sony KDK60EX720 TV. But I cant't honestly justify the cost of the unit and the incremental improvement over the moderate cost alternatives. What prompted me to return the speakers is that I found that the at low volume levels the voice is lost and this system does not have any method of making sound balancing adjustments. The only option you have is to get out of your seat and reach down at the rear of the sub and turn a dial. But if you have a listing environment that keeps the volume at a high level I think that this unit may be a good choice.
