What can you say....it's a Bose system, and they're the best at what they do.  As it's only a 2.1 system, the sound, presence, and clarity are overwhelming for the sheer minuscule size of the system.  Without having to run wires around the room, it offers theater type sound without the clutter. Two small speakers, a sub-woofer and a control console with a DVD-CD player make up the system.

Wall mounting brackets or speaker stands do not come with the system and have to be purchased separately should you desire them, or don't have a well placed shelf to set the speakers upon. 

Bose being the leader in sound systems, isn't nearly the leader in DVD systems.  The DVD player in the 321 systems is not HD, which it should be considering the price.  An HD system can be added as an auxiliary, but is not included in the package.  The other issue I have would be Bose's claim of incredibly easy installation, which was partially true in my case.  I found that getting the sound system to work was a breeze, but with a cable box/DVR, the syncing of the remotes, add the fine tuning of the system and picture problem with the DVD player,  it required quite a bit more work. 

The Bose system also receives AM/FM radio, and is capable of receiving satellite radio with the necessary antenna.  I like the system, love the sound, really like the size and quality of the system, but for the money, it should be a bit more.

You'd think for the price they would at least offer HD. Speaking of price that is the one thing that keeps me from buying Bose...
