This Wave Delivers A Great Ride
Date of Review: Jul 25, 2009
The Bottom Line: I would recommend to all music lovers.
I had always wanted a Bose system ever since I heard one. I had first heard the orginal system years ago and thought it was great. I am astonished by the improved even better sound of the new Bose Acustic Wave II (17817391207) Shelf System.
I bought this system because I am a music lover. The first thing I bought when I got married was a new stero system, and two lawn chairs to listen to all the different types of music. My music tastes range from country, bluegrass, classical, pop, gospel, and some rock, and rock and roll. I can run from Mozart to Stevie Ray Vaughn. The difference in my old magnavox to the Bose system is like night and day. There is absolutely no comparision. Yes, I have had many other music systems in between the years from 1968 to 2009, but notheing can compare. I will try to point out the reasons why I love this system.
Why I love this Bose System
1. It is the best sound I have ever heard,the sound seems to just surround you.
2. I have a small house so it fits perfect on the shelf.
3. I have eliminated a mess of tangled wires, which makes me happy. My old system which was a York took up the whole top shelf. This problem has been solved.
4. I love that I had 30 days to listen to the Bose system to make up my mind wether or not to keep the system.
5. It delivers the best reproduced sound I have ever heard. It is like finding that one special guitar with that awesome sound. It is great! The bass and percussion instruments are more natural.
6. My system came with a set of headphones. This is great for my husband because he plays everything too loud because he has trouble hearing.
7. I can play my own home burned CD's as well as all my other regular CD's.
Description
The Bose System is very small and can be set up in very small places. I have cut my space problem. The height is about 14 inches, and 18 inches wide. It is about 8 inches deep, so it will not take much space. It is one piece. It comes with a remote that is the size of a credit card. The left side of the system has 11 buttons that can be used if I do not want to use the remote. They are FM, AM, CD, AUX, 1,2,3,4,5,6, and a on and off button.
The middle part on the top opens to place the CD I would like to play. My system is graphite gray,and it also comes in white. The Bose system uses digital sound technologies that deliver so much more accurate sounds.
The Bose system can be taken outside. I can make it portable by using the optional power pack.
The Bose Acustic Wave 11 can be ordered by calling 1-800-308-8409, ext. G8513. It can also be ordered on line, at http://www.Bose.com/AWMS2. The Bose my be paid for in 12 easy payments. The price is close to $1100.00.
Experience
I have had nothing but a positive experience using the Bose Acustic Wave 11. It makes no difference if I am inside or out the system sound just like I am listening to a live performance.
