What Four Grand Won't Buy You

Date of Review:  Jan 27, 2009
The Bottom Line: I can't recommend a system that is only miraculous in its ability to fool newbies into thinking they're getting more for their money.

Easy to Use and Good Looking; Bose just Sounds Awful.

Date of Review:  Nov 22, 2005

Great for movies, Ok for Music... but... you pay a premium..

Date of Review:  Oct 5, 2006
The Bottom Line: It's a good system, but for a set market. A family will sure enjoy this system, and whats more... you cant tell the system is installed.
Review: I'm going to try and write as best I can about my Lifestyle system, the reason I paid the money I did for it.. and why overall it isn't a bad system. I'll also explain what I dislike about the system.

First of all, I'm not a newbie to...
