This system is a snap to set up, looks good and delivers a decent 5.1 sound stage. Bass reproduction is good and if you want more place the bass module in a corner. Bose has done all the thinking for you from equalization to surround effect set to average room accustics. The down side is it is not adjustable. from Bestbuy.com Recently purchased the Cinemate system to improve sound quality for my new SONY HD TV in our family room which has very good picture but very poor sound. Cinemate is extremely easy to set up and will provide much better sound than most TV speakers. from Bestbuy.com What's great about it:?ease to set up What's not so great:?The sound is not that great--mediocre at best "I too was taken by the Bose reputation, but this product does not deliver the quality sound you would expect from a Bose product. At first I thought the speakers outside color were faded at the store, but apparently that is the standard color. from Bestbuy.com What's great about it:?easy set up and clarity What's not so great:?no on screen menu, too basic, bass is very weak "My wife bought me this for my birthday. I was so excited! BOSE IS THE BEST! Unfortunately Cinemate isnt. from Bestbuy.com i should've listen to all the bad reviews of this product and not purchase this. Worst of all, you can't return this to newegg.com even if you have purchased it here. you have to call Bose and try to return it to them. Other Thoughts: newegg.com is the most user unfriendly site ever. from Newegg.com The subwoofer is nice and study, only downside on this is there are no bass control knobs, but if you have a new age TV either LCD or PLASMA flat screen, you should be able to adjust the settings from your TV. All around, a WONDERFUL setup. I would recommend the Bose UFS Speaker stands so they can hit the sound range at ear level. from Amazon.com its so sad that people are still raving about their sound, have any of you listened to other equipment? maybe the name bose just makes it ok to make and sell junk from the 90s and 80s, other speaker manufactures have made leaps in bounds in music and movie sound reproduction in the past 20 years, bose is the same old bose, they sell the same mediocre stuff(at least its become cheaper) but they still cant get this stuff too work all the time, what are they doing if not upgrading the sound to where every other company? people let your ears do the deciding not the name of the company. from Amazon.com I loved my system, but always hated the wires that were so obtrusive and such an eye sore. 1 1/2 years ago, my wife and I had our first baby and the tower speakers had to go for fear of tipping over once our girl started moving around and leaning on things, and the surrounds had to go because of all the annoying wires, so the surrounds ended up becoming the front speakers. While re-doing our living space, I suggested getting the CineMate system to my wife to cut down on the ugly wiring behind the TV and also to get great sound while watching TV because the HK AVR 225 doesn't have a cable input so we watched Blu-Ray with great theater-like sound, but had to switch over to the TV speakers for regular TV watching. Now with the CineMate we get great sound no matter what the source, whether it is TV, Blu-Ray, or our Nintendo Wii. from Amazon.com When I first setup the system I was a little disappointed. If I follow the instructions, I have to set the TV system to fixed sound output. This would mean the Bose remote would have to control everything, which definitely lacks functionality. I modified the instructions by setting the TV to variable output and setting the Bose system to about 80% speaker output. from Amazon.com Set up per instructions and enjoy. Easy set up works with Harmony remote. Bought this system at Bose Outlet for $350.00. If you have on in your area do the same. from Amazon.com
