AMAZON IS MY PREFERRED PURCHASING CHANNEL, I WAS ABLE TO BUY THE V 30 AT 500 USD LESS THAN REGULAR PRICE . THE V-30 SYSTEM WORKS SUPER , THE SOUND IS GREAT, PICTURES IS GREAT AND THE SPEAKERS LOOK GREAT ON THE WALL TOO - RECOMENDED! ......INSTALLATION MAY TAKE A BIT OF TIME, IF YOU DON'T WANT TO DO IT YOURSELF CONTRACT A BOSE TECNICS... A BIT PRICEY BUT WORTH THE MONEY AND YOU GET IT WORKING RIGHT...RIGHT AWAY!

i bought this system and payed 2600. Before buying i thought that its my dream system. It turned out otherwise. From the day one i started facing issues. When i connected the system to HD TV Samsung 5 series(32 inch) i did not get any video at all. When i called customer support they said its HDMI handshake issue. Then they asked me to turn off the system and remove power cable and connect it back. After several attempts it worked finally. But it started happening again. No video on HD TV screen (after switching system off).I use to watch INDIAN languages on TV. When doing so i realized couple of weakness in this system. It produces noise instead of voice for INDIAN languages(back speakers front speakers worked fine and i can hear voice). Looked like this system cant produce sounds of all frequency ranges OR may be if input source is not dolbly digital it cant produce voice properly. I am not sound expert. So cant say technicality of the problem. If you want go to a show room to ask for a demo. Take a DVD containing some INDIAN language conversation(I found issue when i was listening HINDI ) and play it. Listen to rear speakers. I am sure you will hear noise instead of voice. Not worth the money. You can get some other AV receivers for this price. DONT BUY THIS SYSTEM. Thanks for the 30 days trial period. I returned it.

Like others out there, I have waited a long time to purchase a Bose Home Entertainment System. My visit to our local Bose Factory Store in Manchester Vermont was nothing short of fantastic. The staff and our audio attendant were very attentative to our customer needs with service and attention to product detail that I have not seen in quite some time in a store. Our initial intent was to look into the Bose 321 System as we were looking for a system that could deliver a home theatre experience in a compact package. As we looked into other systems we came across the V class Lifestyle systems and we were drawn to it's sleekness in overall design as well as the cube style speakers. I was unaware that Bose produced such a system, but found it to be the perfect compliment to our home theatre as we recently invested in a Blu-Ray Player. In order to get a better sense of overall performance, we decided to experience the home theatre demonstration room as they had the Jewel Cube Speakers we were interested in. The sound produced from these speakers was so crisp and lifelike. We decided on the V30 System as the Jewel Cube speakers were decidedly better in overall sound reproduction and at about $1,000 additional I feel they were absolutely worth it. As we do not have an ideal room for home theatre speaker placement, the AdaptiQ feature can and does calibrate brilliantly to give every person in the room the ideal home theatre experience. For those who may wonder, the Acoustimass Module does have both a Bass and Treble Compensation allowing you to customize to your taste. We run our Blu Ray directly to our TV to take advantage of the HDMI 1.3 version and the Satellite System runs through the Media Center and the Audio is hooked up via Digital Optical Cable providing the best overall sound experience for which Bose is known for. Yes the HDMI is 1.2, but version 1.3 is not available on most cable systems and broadcasts are usually in 1080i format. We went in eyes and ears wide open and were focused on the acoustic features of the Bose. I would say that we are very happy with our overall purchase and can highly recommend the Bose Life Style with Jewel Cube speakers.
