A:
The Lifestyle 135 home entertainment system and the Cinemate 1 SR digital home theater speaker system have the same speaker package and sound quality capability. The Lifestyle 135 has a control console that provides many additional benefits, such as:
- HDMI in/out jacks
- Multiple inputs (as opposed to only one on the Cinemate 1SR)
- Easy, seamless remote control integration with the television and other attached devices
- A built-in AM/FM tuner
- A dock for iPod/iPhone
- Ability to add sound throughout a home with Bose link technology
In summary, either system will produce the same sound reproduction, but the Lifestyle 135 is better equipped to integrate the Bose system with your TV and other components, while the Cinemate 1SR is a simpler and more basic, stand-alone speaker system
We hope this helps!
