Is Bose really a good option as a home theater receiver?

I want to setup a home theater room and haven't decided which AV receiver to purchase. I have been looking around and apparently Bose is one of the most expensive. But I haven't have a professional or objective opinion. If Bose is not the best option, which one should be?

Yes, Bose is a proprietary manufactured system. Its that way because with the Bose system, everything in the box is all you need.

As far as price goes, when you look at The Bose Lifestyle 48. (The Premium System Surround Sound System) You Get 340 Hours of digital music storage, which features Umusic. Umusic actually learns what type if music is appropriate for what mood. You tell it you like the Beatles, it recommends Elton John, Tell it you like Elton John, It plays Billy Joel. It then learns what type of music you like and will continue to play that type of music for you. You can have 9 presets for that. Its awesome.

AdaptiQ is an automatic calibration system, that customizes the sound to your room type, (wood floors, or carpet, high roof, low roof, furniture type etc.) 10 Mins and your system is optimized for your room. and if you get new furniture...just run it again and your good to go.

Also you get the Jewel Cubes with the 48. (which are NOT made out of paper!!) They give you rich crisp sound. The Jewel Cubes are award winning speakers.And if your looking for expansion through out your home...14 extra rooms of sound can be done. 8 can be done wireless. And you could even use some of your existing stereo speakers. Just because some people cant afford Bose doesn't make Bose bad.

The Bose home theater systems range from $999 - $3999, and are worth every penny.

Bose is a proprietary manufactured system. This means that you can ONLY hook up there speakers to their receiver without doing some cabling/plug modification.

Their speakers are so over priced it is really ridiculous.

Why would someone spend $500.00-$1000.00 on a speaker system when the replacement drivers only cost $12.00 a piece for a replacement???

Look to spend about half of your budget on the speaker system and the rest on equipment

Remember!!

A well balanced and faithful reproduction speaker system will not fit in palm of your hand.
Bose is good, expensive, but good. Yamaha has some nice systems. JVC, Sony. A lot depends on how much you want to spend. If I could afford Bose that's the way I would go.
It is too expensive for what you are getting. You can find a much less pricey one somewhere else. JVC and Sony are good.
Say "NO" to the BOSE!!!

Bose is crap don't believe the marketing hype!

What is your best option depends on your budget, with out a dollar amount i can't give you any suggestions.
BOSE IS NOT OUTRAGEOUSLY PRICED FOR SPEAKERS AND RECEIVER. AROUND $2500. IF YOU LIKE HOW BOSE SOUNDS DON'T LET AUDIO STOBS STOP YOU. THE BIGGEST AUTHORITY ON WHAT YOU LIKE IS YOU. I PERSONALLY DON'T LIKE HOW BOSE SOUNDS. DENON RECEIVER WITH 4 MARTIN LOGAN CLARITY ELECTRO-STATIC HYBRIDS AND I CINEMA CENTER AND 500 WATT 12INCH SUB FROM INFINITY AND A SONY 400 DISC DVD. IS WHAT I OWN--ABOUT $12000. ALOT OF PEOPLE DONT' LIKE MARTIN LOGAN BUT I LIKE THEM VERY MUCH-- END OF STORY. LOOK INTO DENON AND YAMAHA AND ONKYO FOR RECEIVERS--MAKE SURE TO COMPARE LIKE MODEL OF EACH. BEST BUY WITH A MAGNOLIA IS A GOOD PLACE TO START FOR AN AVERAGE SHOPPER. WIRING AND CABLE IS OFTEN OVERLOOKED AND CAN COST SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR A 5.1 SET-UP DON'T CUT CORNERS ON THIS. SPEAKERS FROM KLIPSCH AND INFINITY AND POLK ARE A GOOD PLACE TO START.
