Bose Cinemate Review - Series II Home Theater Speaker System:Bose is synonymous with audio excellence. Their lines of home theater systems, computer speakers, headphones, digital music systems, and stereo speakers are unsurpassed in quality and ingenuity. How has Bose stayed on top of an ever-changing audio industry? By putting every cent of profit back into their business. Bose has a reputation for excellence in research and commitment to quality in its products. It seems the company has always known that what may have been science fiction in the past can turn into a reality tomorrow or the next day. Bose has always been concerned with improving people’s lives. Good enough is never good enough for Bose, and it shouldn't be good enough for you. You deserve sound that is rich and true, and you can get it with Bose. Our advice: get it on Amazon. You will pay much less over other vendors, and you can view the complete line of Bose speakers here . Bose was founded in 1964, when an MIT electrical engineering professor found that his new stereo system didn't have the realism of a live performance. He wanted better - so he made it. By 1968, Dr. Amar G. Bose and his fledgling company had produced the 901 Direct/Reflecting speaker system. It was based on tireless research in both speaker design and the human perception of sound, called psychoacoustics. The speakers' ability to give the listener the sense he was hearing a live performance made it a success, and ever since, Bose has been improving, reinventing, experimenting, and researching ways to make it even better.
- Bose is in top form with the CineMate. Bose has a complete line of home theater systems, some of them quite elaborate and extensive. The Lifestyle 48 Series IV, for instance, has four cube speaker arrays, a horizontal center channel speaker, five speaker cables, Digital Dynamic Range speaker compression circuitry, an ADAPTiQ audio calibration system, and enough other features to put other speakers to shame. You don't simply watch a movie or listen to music with these speakers: you get inside of it. But it also costs almost $4000 on Amazon. That is quite a price tag, even if you do get outstanding quality. For those who want quality without spending too much, the CineMate is ideal. It is a more modest system, and its features include:
*Infrared remote controls with LED display
There are essentially 3 products you can choose from - the original Cinemate, the Series II Cinemate, and the GS Series II digital system. They start at roughly $465 and the high end GS Cinemate goes for $800. We found Bose Cinemate reviews on CNET and at Amazon. All the consumer comments we read were fairly positive. The GS II system gets the best reviews, although you are paying a premium for this 2.1 channel speaker system. The improved digital acoustic performance is what customers like the best - best suited for small to medium sized rooms that want a theater environment. The Bose CineMate GS Series II
What the Experts Say about the Bose CineMate:A reviewer on ConsumerGuides at HowStuffWorks.com, writes that the CineMate offers users an easy way to enjoy surround sound without having to waste time setting up an overly complex system. aLa Test, a consumer testing site, gave the CineMate a score of 84, or Very Good. With the price, we can upgrade that to Excellent. But the experts you should really listen to are people who have purchased the speaker system. What do they think? One user loved the CineMate because she didn't have to bore holes all over her house and find room for five or more speakers. You won't be tripping over cords and equipment in your living room or family room. Bose products are for people who demand superior quality. If you don't want to pay four figures for that, the CineMate offers a wonderful solution. Phenomenal sound, easy set up, and inobtrusive design. And, oh yeah, a much lighter bill. Give the CineMate a try: you will not regret it. Browse Amazon's line of home theaters and see if anything else comes close to Bose.

features Gemstone speakers - small yet very efficient speakers. The setup is rather simple with 4 connections. Some owners mention that if you want "full blown sound" to go with another package, but most homeowners were more than satisfied with the performance and sound quality from the GS Series II.
