Advantages: A hassle-free setup for such high quality audio and video. Disadvantages: A little on the pricey side, DVD player not multi-region.
...The American Bose Company possesses a fine pedigree, being widely regarded as one of the finest manufacturers of high-quality audio equipment in the world. It was against this backdrop that I purchased the Bose 321 GS Series II System some 12 months ago, and in the main, I have not been disappointed with it. With its stylish design and fashionable brand image, this is definitely one product you would not be ashamed to have under your television.
The Bose 321 range is generally available in either a graphite or silver theme, echoed throughout the main system unit, Acoustimass Module (the big sub-woofer box), 2 small satellite speakers and remote control, and is the standard options on most of the accessories.

...What can I say but superb.
I first heard a Bose system in a Hi Fi shop in Cambridge and the demo blew me away. Admittedly it was not the wave music system but the acoustimass but I knew straight away I was going to be hooked on Bose. I have a Bose concert system installed in my Audi A4 and this is phenomenal but another story.
The Bose Wave music system is a small unit only 106mm high, 368mm wide and 219mm deep and weighs in at 3.9kg. It comes in platinum or graphite grey.
A credit card sized remote is supplied and functions well although some may find the buttons fiddly but you can get a full sized remote if you need one that is backlit, mine was supplied with this as an offer but I have never needed to use it.
The unit itself is as simple as it gets to use, just plug in and play from the word go. No messing about with speaker...
