| User Reviews |  | Better Than 5.1 rating: 5
I've owned this system for over a year and it performs as expected. Why all the negative reviews? I've owned full-blown 5.1 Systems that didn't perform as well as the 321. There are few sounds from the back but my 5.1 systems didn't have sound coming from the back either. I don't see the big deal regarding 5.1; I think it's all marketing hype. With proper adjustment 321 puts out plenty of solid bass and exceptionally clear dialogue; sounds great with music. Extremely wide soundstage. An excellent product - no regrets.

A lemon of a system rating: 1
This system sounds great when it works! I bought this system a year ago(July 2007) and have experienced numerous headaches! After experiencing spotty playing on cds and dvds Bose replaced my original unit. Four months later the system they sent me is having problems (my cds play intermintedly). Now I have to send my second amplifier into Bose to be fixed!!! When you pay $1000 for a system you expect more! I have been majorly disappointed with this system. I have never had so many problems with a stereo system. I would look elsewhere if you are considering buying a Bose 321.

Poor Value for Price rating: 2
I have owned the 3-2-1 system for 1 yr, 1 month and 1 week. The DVD player had to be replaced after 6 months of occasional use. Last week it failed to operate again, 6 weeks out of warranty. Also, no audio from the cable/sat setting ! The audio from my plasma TV speakers is equally as impressive in my LARGE living room. The AM/FM gives poor quality reception compared to a simple kitchen am/fm under the cabinet! DVD players are not expensive. I was impressed by the demo at the store, with a Bose DVD- at home it left me cold. Like PT Barnum said, 'there is one born every minute' Be smart and avoid this product and shop for a decent dvd/sound system.

Pleasant surprise rating: 5
I first starting looking into the Bose 321 system about 3 years ago; however, once I read the reviews I backed off. Instead I bought an Onkyo home theatre system and was quite happy with it.
Fast forward 3 years and my Onkyo was no longer working properly. So, I started looking around and I saw that Bose made a second generation 321 system. Even though it's a lot more than comparable 2:1 systems, I read better reviews for it so I decided to get it.
I have to say that I've been very happy with the Series II 321 system. The sound is incredible and it is a lot better than my previous Onkyo. I've had this for about a month and I'm very, very satisfied with it. Quite honestly, I'm not sure why there are any negative reviews with this product.
Anyway, if there's anyone that's on the fence with getting this, get it and you won't be disappointed. Cheers.
