As the proud owner of 2 previous Bose systems, this Bose 321 review will cover my most recent system, which is the Bose 321 GS system. Now I must say that it is the Series III unit I am reviewing. In my opinion, it is a significant improvement over the Series II system.
Although I read many reviews about the Series III, I wasn't going to take the word of miscellaneous reviewers regarding it's performance.
Luckily, we have a specialty electronics store that carries the correct model. So, one day, about 3 months ago, I hopped in my truck and headed to the store.
After only about 15 minutes of listening to it, I was plopping down my Visa to buy the Bose 321!The price was lower than I expected, however I am told you now can buy it cheaper online.
The unit is amazingly easy to set up. Once upon a time, it took me 11/2 hours to set up an ancient Pioneer surround sound system, so 20 minutes to set this one up was a welcome relief.
The sound is superb!
Of course, it is important to realize that the Bose 321 GS is not in the same league with a 5.1 or 7.1 system, but it is excellent, nevertheless. This unit has two TINY speakers, not five or seven. so tune your ears accordingly.
If you're limited on room, like our family, you will love the compact size of the components. The speaker size is about half that of Bose's other models.
Frankly, they fit just about anywhere, and they are really easy to hide, even in a smaller room.
The overall sound of the Bose 321 SG is best suited for small to medium sized rooms. A living room, family room, office or den would be perfect.
It probably would be o.k. for a large room, such as a large game room. However, a larger system with more speakers might be a better fit.
Hopefully, this brief Bose 321 review was helpful. It is an excellent system for individuals who want a surround sound experience without the hefty price tag.
