The Bose 3-2-1 GXs in my home.

What's great about it: Easy Set Up, Incredible Sound, Compact Design, Digital storage of music, No wiring for rear speakers
What's not so great: Pricey, No Headphones Jac, Doesn't Play all CD/DVD formats

"I am loving my Bose 3-2-1 GSX system! The set up could not have been easier! Easy to follow instructions on the DVD that comes with this package.
The sound from the two Gemstone speakers and the Accoustimass module is incredible. Watching DVD's a true theater-like experience. You'd have to be a professional to know that there are now rear speakers.
The uMusic system not only allows me to store 200 hours of music, but I am able to play all of that music by album, artist or genre. I have even created a playlist for evening dinner parties.
I'm sorry there is no jac for headphones and I miss having an 'on timer' that I use in my home office mini system as an extra security measure when I'm away from home. Also be aware that it does not play all CD and DVD formats (no Blu-Ray) so keep this im mind when shopping around.
All in all. I'm still excited by the quality and performance of this compact unit. Thank you Bose."

What's great about it: Ease of set up, ease of use, only 2 speakers and a subwoofer
What's not so great: does not come with HDMI

"This is the best system yet! On many other receivers you have to have a degree in physics to get the speakers in the right spot so it sounds good. With the Bose you plug it in attach what you want, set the speakers on the entertainment system and it sounds great. I love the fact that you can store music as well. That way if I don't have to run to my car if I forgot my favorite CD. I load it, then it is there for the next time."

Simplest. Setup. Ever... Part 2! 08/25/2008
By Blindspot from Hagerstown, MD

What's great about it: SUPER Easy to Setup
What's not so great: Limited To 3 (maybe 4) AUX Sources

"4 wires. Let me say that again... FOUR WIRES. Count them- I kid you not! I am absolutely AMAZED at the ease of installation. A power wire, media cable, Y-split speaker wire, a component video cable and I was DONE! To add things like VCR or Blu-ray sound are just an audio cable away! I got the Series II GSX as a gift for my parents and the only difference between that and this new series is the HDMI output which upscales DVDs as high as 1080p. My dad recently picked up a Blu-ray player so he has no gripes about missing out on that! He HAS however, given nothing but rave reviews since! He loves the sound quality and the fact that he gets a near-surround sound experience from just the two front speakers! I think its best in a small room (which they have) and if used with a high-def TV that has an optical output for sound. The system only has 3 sets of inputs (plus 1 optical), so if you use your TV as the receiver and then run the audio out back to the 321, you'll end up with plenty of inputs! The 200 hours of music storage comes in handy too. My mom is not very tech savvy, and she really enjoys being able to press one button and hear her favorite CDs play whenever she wants!"
