Home theater reviews: Bose Lifestyle DVD systems – Part 2

When it comes to home audio, few companies can stake claim to owning advancements in speaker technologies and in creating extraordinary home theater experiences like Bose can. Bose audio is the brainchild of former MIT prof Amar G. Bose and postulates that they create “Better Sound Through Research.” Realizing the need for better quality audio Mr. Bose did his homework, built his first speaker and from that has created an audio brand that is most respected by its competitors and most idolatrous to its fan base.

The invention AND evolution of the Lifestyle system has not only increased Bose’s influence with consumers looking for great sound from small speakers but has also established them as the inventor and market leader for high-quality HTiB (Home Theater in-a-box), adding to their growth and success along the way. The Lifestyle system is the perfect compromise for husbands ready to rattle the rafters at the Lord of the Rings watch party and their wives who fear that those 14″ woofers her husband had in college might actually eat the children.

Probably the most recognizable feature of the Lifestyle system are the four small ear pleasing cubes that deliver big sound in the loudest of movie watching explosions and perfect clarity in those jazzy musical moments all-the-while taking up less than 5 inches of wall space. Did I just say wall space? Yep! Bose designed the cubes for flexibility AND aesthetics meaning that 1) they can stand alone on your counter space, be mounted to stands or mounted directly to the wall and 2) no matter where you put them, they’re going to look really freakin’ good. Speakers shouldn’t take away from the room, they should add to it and the cubes do just that. Accompanying the cubes and completing the package of speakers is a horizontal center speaker designed to deliver the best in movie vocals for your flat panel television.

For the big time boom, it wouldn’t be Bose without the muscle of a big time Bass Module that shatters the teeth and raises the roof simultaneously. The slender, sleek box can be hidden behind the couch, under a table or left out for public display (I promise it won’t embarrass you). If you don’t need an extra coffee table, save some face and don’t buy that 12″ subwoofer – buy a Bose. The modules sleek design parallels that of the bells of most horn musical instruments allotting for more even bass distribution and also serves as the hub for the four cubes and center.
