[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-12-20 Summary: Techy guy who wanted 1 Remote Simplicity (and some good sounding surround sound) ... OK, so all I wanted was a great surround system that would accept an optical cable to throw out surround, and did NOT want to have a large receiver sitting under my TV for just that only purpose. The Display being separated from the Media Unit is awesome. I have an Xbox 360, Comcast Tivo (yes, Tivo from Camcast), and an Apple Mac Mini hooked up to a 52" Samsung LCD (1080p) TV, and just wanted surround sound. I was not evening looking for a remote...no remote shipped with any system actually works, right? I was still ...more
[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-09-18 Summary: Not as good as I thought ... I purchased the Bose v-20 a couple of weeks ago. I have a PS3 for blu-ray, a new Samsung LCD, and Direct TV HD DVR hooked to the bose. The remote didn't initially work with anything until I figured out how to change it to IR. I had to search on line for a solution. The biggest problem is that when ever I change chanels on the Direct TV HD DVR the Bose goes "dead" for a minute or 2 and then will come back on. It really is annoying. The sound is ok but not great. I have the surround sound up almost all the way and I ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-09-12 Summary: Mine works great ... I received my Bose sound system several weeks ago, took an afternoon to hook up everything, and could not be more pleased. I have a mid-sized house (~2400 square feet) and the system will deliver sufficient volume that music or soundtracks, including dialogue, can be heard throughout my home. I also use the system to play my music wirelessly from my home computer and get excellent results. The stereo sound quality is terrific and, after using the AdaptIQ to adjust the sound, is very well-balanced. The room where I ...more

[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-15 Summary: Basic bracket working well... ... Brackets are basically a commodity, with little to choose between brands. This makes it easy to choose the lowest numerator (price) across a comparable range of denominators. The Bose bracket worked as it should with the Bose speakers I had sitting around forever and finally getting installed. ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-05 Summary: High Quality ... I purchased these for my Bose AM3 speakers to use in surround sound mode. I wall mounted them so the extension arms were not needed. They can be adjusted by loosening a screw, which when tightened will hold them securely. The brackets use serrations (detents) to lock them in, so they are not infinitely adjustable but still have many possible positions. On one side I have the speaker aimed downward towards the wall behind the sofa to bounce the sound behind the listener. The other side aims downward toward the listener ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-03 Summary: Nice professional looking fit for Bose cube speakers. ... Easy to install with all hardware included. Only thing you need to watch for is adjusting the direction once installed. The only way to do this is by un-tightening a screw. Would be nice if you can just pivot like a goose-neck. Otherwise, great product! ...more

[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-02-10 Summary: Polk CS20 Center Channel ... I purchased this CS20 about a month and a half ago. This center sounds great very clear and smooth sound. Highs are very soft with no painful sharp sounds (herd this sound with Klipsch and Bose centers} I also had a CS10 for about a week this was also a nice center but sound is much smoother and more realistic with CS20. The fit and finish are also excellent I love the way it looks. If you are looking for a great sounding center I would recommend. The only downside would be for people without much room. This is a rather ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-07-22 Summary: Excellent quality, but way too big for HTPC ... This is fundamentally a strong product. It features solid construction. The flaps and everything are well thought out. The front is very nice as well. I was able to install everything, with plenty of room to spare. Cons -- The size. I was unable to fit this thing into my media center. I easily fit my receiver, other A/V equipment, but this case is just a behemoth. I'd recommend going with a smaller case unless you have a very deep entertainment center. ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-05-19 Summary: Beautiful, Strong and Spacious ... This case looks beautiful in my black TV stand under an equally beautiful Samsung HL61A750 HD DLP TV. I went through many cases to finally land on this one for my first HTPC. Pros: - Beautiful front panel. Best part I like is that the optical drive and card reader's face is flush with the case and it does not try to mask that face with something else, and still neatly hidden behind the flaps. - Solid construction. There are a TON of screws. 4 to remove the top panel, 4 to remove that middle bar under it, 2 to remove ...more
