MidnightBox.com has the refurbished Bose CineMate GS Series II Digital Home Theater Speaker System for $600 + $4 shipping = $604 shipped. Includes universal remote control, Bose Acoustimass module and a pair of Gemstone speaker arrays. Features proprietary TrueSpace technology for multichannel simulation with a full frequency range.
I cant think of where to begin to describe how horrible Bose surround systems are. Touting decent lows and highs but miserable midrange, Bose represents the pinnacle of marketing.
Their demos consist of low-high frequency medleys including the sounds of : - Trains - Water flow/ Rainfall - Birds chirping - Skis - Bells, whistles - Musical instruments consisting of bass and highs only - Vocals specifically pre-processed and tweaked to give the appartition of clarity and depth.
There's a reason they only let you listen to their own demos. If Bose made tv's they would demo them by turning up the contrast to max, brightness to 20% and display patterns of colored lines.. then they would announce to you "Notice the clarity and depth of colors!"
Bose has never made anything worthwhile other than their Dj equipment and noise cancelling headphones and only home theater systems that are not TOTAL junk are the Bose AM's released in the 1990's.

People who buy Bose really need to think again.
