The quick delivery by Amazon rocks. The Bose 321 system is great for a 3 speaker system.
If you need a surround system for a small room, you can't go wrong. I actually talked to one of their install techs and he told me that the 321 is really only designed to provide good surround performance for a small room, such as a den or office. In my experience I have found that the system has no problems with 95% of home-burned CD's and DVD's. True, I don't get "true" surround, but in small rooms, you don't have room for much more and 5 speakers is going to be overkill anyways.
For some reason, folks speak about the 321 with great disdain. If you need perfect surround sound, go elsewhere. In summary, ignore the reviews and do some research on your own. The fact is that this system is great, just not for everyone.
I recently hooked up my Blu-ray (Sony BDP-S350) to the system and the sound is phenomenal.With regards to the "format unsupported" comments, I have only found that this happens when the DVD's or CD's are from "questionable" sources (you know what these are). Personally, I would recommend talking to The best piece of advice I can give before buying this system is going to your local Bose store and getting some advice on placement. Our setup is exactly this (~11x13), and I love how it works there.

AT $900 you would think it would last. been an avid bose follower till this now will only by speakers from them. save money and by SONY. bought a year ago and was fine then started locking up during store bought DVDs. The open DVD tray and close for 10 min just to get it to work again.
It met my needs perfectly, and it was a Bose product. It is terrible. As we all know, Bose products are expensive. Bose products which I have purchased are the following: a wave radio with the CD feature. (I hope this does not become Bose's new motto) Also, the sound system will go bad from time to time, and must be disconnected and reconnected to get it to perform properly.This is not a Bose product which I would recommend. Furthermore, the Bose system in the car I purchased was very instrumental in that purchase. Without hesitation, I visited the Bose website and read about the 321 GS Series.
If you buy one get used to seeing "Format Not Supported" across the screen. Nearly all the CD's and DVD's that I try to play on it, will not play.
and a surround sound system. Wrong.I have owned this system for a little over a year now, and it has been relegated to a sound sytem for my other CD and DVD players.
I will pay the extra amount because I want the best possible sound within a price range which is not exorbitant. I thought I was set.
If I had to do it over again I would definitely go in a different direction.Bose has great products, but this "ain't" one of them. two sets of headphones.
In other words, I have been a loyal and satisfied Bose customer.When I moved into a condo, I wanted a surround sound system that was compact yet provided an in-theater sound.
