Bose Lifestyle 28
$2,000.00
Released March, 2007
The Pros:Unique pivoting speakers - allows for greater sound coverage. Lots of power output - good for just about any home theater. Good customer service from the manufacturer.
The Cons:Expensive - comparable sound systems are available for much less. 'Bose Acoustimass' is a marketing ploy - low frequency effects sound good in just about any position by default. DVD only - lacks Blu-ray support.
The Bose Lifestyle 28 falls in the mid-range of Bose's Lifestyle product line. Optimized for larger rooms, the Lifestyle 28 system includes 4 Direct/Reflecting satellite units, each of which contains 2 speakers on a pivot to customize sound directing and reflecting off walls, if desired.

The system also comes with a progressive scan DVD/CD player unit with a digital AM/FM tuner. The Lifestyle 28 is HDMI compatible but requires additional optional accessories. It is also is BoseLink compatible, meaning other enabled Bose devices can be connected around the home to listen to the system in a different location.
