Pros & Cons
Pros
The bose 321gsii is great for its simplicity and beauty. The emerson has a headphone jack and i decided to try outputting sound through the 321 via a headphone to rca adapter cable. The 321 has a much larger soundstage and better bass than the tv.
The sound clarity is amazing. The audio quality from music cd's is very good.
The sound is amazing in my apartment. In a 15 x 25 room with vaulted ceilings, it still sounds great. The only issue is not true surround sound as you may experience with the 5 speakers systems but still ok considering this is only 2 speaker and the b... Read More
Cons
After i bought the system, honestly i did find any * changes or improvements, only change is speakers are small.
The sound isn't all that great. It's not even better that my tv's built-in pseudo surround sound. is ok, not the best.
Unit utilizes s-video and has only 1 optical input and 1 coaxil input. Dvd does not work most of time. It locks up and overheats, and we suspect the heat is destroying our dvds. It's borderline impossible to watch a movie without it freezing up.
The most irritating thing about the bose unit is that the audio/video plugs do not stay plugged in. Purchasing a radio from a dollar store would be a better investment. Bose is just a name any more.
Don't be fooled. If you want to have your stomach filled, you have to pay a lot!
Highlights
Quality
Terrific sound and extremely easy to install.
It is an excellent system with two very small speakers and a sub-woofer that only has a dvd/cd player to power it.
All the sound runs through the tv, and an optical cable takes it from the tv to the bose "media center", which processes all th... Read More
If you have problems with the speakers, bose recommends you unplug everything and plug everything back in a certain order.
Price
I saved $100 by getting a "factory-renewal" system directly from the bose outlet store, and i've had no problems with it.
This is one of the most expensive electronic purchases i have ever made but it was worth it!
00 from best buy when it was still new, and now it's dropped almost half in price in almost 2 years.
I did not purchase my bose 321 gs series ii system through amazon, but purchased it for $999 through the bose tv informercial.
Shipping
I also got free shipping, i got the 30day free trial, and i got free return shipping paid for by bose.
My bose arrived within a few days right to my doorstep.
Packaging/appearance
I unpacked everything and followed the easy directions and found that one of my audio ports on my tv was already taken up by another plug.
Competitiveness
The sound is incredible and it is a lot better than my previous onkyo.
The gs has the newer small speakers that sound much better than the older ones.
I believe this is true among all the other competitors in this market line and that neither one stands out ahead of the other.
I am of the opinion that sony is a directionless company and this is reflected in their products.

The small speakers can either mount on the wall or a shelf and the woofer which supplies the power can go almost anywhere

In my opinion for the price and size there is no better setup than the bose 321 system
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The only issue is not true surround sound as you may experience with the 5 speakers systems but still ok considering this is only 2 speakers and the bass module
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The size and styling of the bose 321 gs series ii cant be beat when looking for a system to fit in with a bedrooms decor the idea of the large black boxes of a 5speaker system hanging around the room was less than appealing
