I just completed my Bose Acoustimass 5.1 SRS system. I have the Bose console, the speakers (5 speakers) and the new subwoofer. Too bad it's the Series I sub, and not the Series II I used to have. That omits digital input to allow true surround sound, but it does a very good job emulating it (and believe it or not, it does it from Stereo input).
I have been watching videos and playing music with it. My speakers (5 satellite) are at my dads, so I will have to uninstall them there and install them here in my house, but I have the sub and the console, and a mix-mosh right now of Logitech speakers from my 5.1 SRS Logitech speakers, and the middle one is a KLH bookshelf speaker. So I don't know how good it will be, but if it's as I remember it (almost 15 years ago) it will be a great sound system
as an FYI, this was before Bose decided to experiment 3.1 speaker systems that did a virtual surround sound (emulating SRS with 3 speakers, left, right, center and subwoofer). and this was when a good Bose system cost you a cool grand for it.
My dad originally got it through work when doing an incentive program for selling HVAC commercial systems (air handlers, digital controllers, contracts, etc...) So we got a 32" Sony Trinitron TV and the bose system out of it (easily 2-2.5 Grand for the cost of what we got) as well as a few other things. I think we got one of those "smart" blenders when they were touting putting digital electronics into everything.
It sounds very good, even with sub-par speakers attached, CDs sound great from the console, and untill I install it, it's hooked up to my PC in my bedroom. The subwoofer doesn't buzz at all, and does a very good job at producing bass, but with the size and quality of it, I would expect it.
This was also from the time prior to Bose making this itty bitty cube speakers. These are the full-sized cube speakers. The ones that twist two different ways (to make the surround better).
I wish I could put up a video showing how awesome it sounds, but you would have to do a full SRS.
I still wish I could find a Series II Subwoofer Acoustimass 25 subwoofer at a cheap price, then I could use the digital input
