Author's Review

I got it for about $600 which makes the system a lot more reasonable. Not worth $1000 MSRP.

Compared to the Bose 321 the Sony has a higher quality build(nice metals instead of all plastic), tons more inputs(including HDMI) and much cheaper($600 vs $1000 or $1300-gs model). Bose 321 from the store demo sounds like it has better sound than the Sony though(not worth the extra money to me).

The sound is good(not true surround or thundering bass) but it does require you have the right room for it. The room has to be on the small side and you HAVE to be in the center of the two speakers for the best sound.

Radio reception is not the greatest(probably my location) but I just ordered an antenna to fix that(hopefully). I am blown away by the picture quality(above Sony's usually already high standards) when I watch a DVD.

I wanted a small compact 2 speaker system because I have a small apartment and a 23" LCD HDTV . There's not much to choose from in this market but I am happy with my choice.
