I saw it when it was originally released to theaters. It is an amazing film--bad history, but an amazing piece of cinema.

I know all you audiophiles are going to laugh at me... Bose is not the most highly picked sound system for serious listeners, and my set up is (far) less then ideal, but I finally thought I would put my Acoustamass 10 system to its full potential.

I have two main speakers, a center, two surround sound, one surround back, (which is actually level with my surround left and right (TOLD you it was a less then perfect set up ) and a powered subwoofer; all Bose. There are seven components in all.

Next, I ran the digital light source from my AT and T box to the receiver, (instead of HDMI) and finally, ordered one of the microphones to place in different parts of the room for an auto-calibration of speaker volume. I have setting one to the center of the living room and setting two at my favorite lounger chair (where I veg out while listening to music).

HOLY MOLEY!!!!!!! What a difference!!!!! I don't know if it's the added speaker, or the digital source, or the calibration, or all of the above but WOW! What great sound!!!!! I have been listening to my New-Age channel off my receiver for the last hour; I can't move out of my chair it sounds so.... So..... Clear? Real? I don't know how to describe it. Only that music sounds like it is being created in the air all around my head. I mean, it actually sounds better then when I use my Bose QC-20 or 25 headphones!

I know you audiophiles are laughing at my choice of equipment and speaker set up, but it sure does work for me. I am So amazed and glad I (finally) used it all to it's full potential. What a difference!!!!

Happy Listening everyone

I used to be highly skeptical of Bose, but not anymore.

It's your ears that matter, not anyone else.

Ditto. I once heard this tiny thingy that sounded like those big towers and filled the room completely, and it was just a dock connected to a phone!

I think in most stores is overpriced, but if you can find a good deal it's worth it.
