If you're in the middle, is it possible to go back to the beginning? I'd stay away from Bose. You can get something of much better quality for equal or lesser price.

Yeah, I just looked up the specs. No HDMI input=garbage.

Do not do it, you won't get lossless audio. Get an Onkyo 605 or 705 receiver and some nice Polk speakers.

You can do so much better than Bose. They sing a nice song and dance a nice dance but in the end they are far from worth money. Go back if its not to late.

I would avoid Bo$e, but if that is really what you want, get the Lifestyle V20 system. It's a new system without an integrated player but it has two HDMI in, three component in, and it will upconvert everything to the HDMI out. If you HAVE to have Bo$e, that is what you should get.

Uhhh . . . no.


If you set up your system this way, the only lossless audio you will be able to take advantage of is stereo PCM . . . so, yeah, two channel = not so great.

I know exactly what his question is. Can it be done? Yeah. Can it be done well to take the full advantage of the Blu-ray player? No. If you're investing in something new, why buy something that's obsolete out of the box?

Why buy something that does not play the most recent audio technology? Maybe a couple years ago, but right now? Why even reccomend it? If nothing else get Bose speakers and a better receiver for gods sake.

Maybe he doesn't want to settle for mediocrity . . . Wasn't there a whole format war about that?

Bose is trash for the price range it's in. Regular DTS sounded good about 11 years ago. Maybe we need to make a kiddie area for posts like this?

If you are adamant about getting Bose, then just get their speakers and forget the Lifestyle System. You're better off spending your money on a good HDMI 1.3 receiver.

LOL I haven't owned any because I know better. Go find me a professional, or audiophile grade system that uses ANY Bose products.

I know the definition of the word mediocrity . . . obviously you do not. I'm not talking shit . . . I'm talking fact, and you're acting like a child. Just because you're willing to settle for 10 year old audio technology doesn't mean everybody else is.
