I am amazed at the ease of installation. I had the whole system up and running in less than 1/2 an hour- granted that I used the speaker wires and wall/ceiling mounts from my old BOSE AM 15's. The only added step was installing an adapter on the speaker wires from my Bose AM 15 so I could connect the Jewel cube arrays. (I had to use the old speaker wires because they where already installed in the walls.) The Adapt IQ is really what sets this system apart. We have a really wide living room in which the TV is off center. Balancing my old Bose AM 15 Direct Reflective speaker arrays with the old receiver was a nightmare. AdaptIQ did all the work in minutes. Every speaker is now perfectly balanced. We where a little concerned about spending an extra $1,000 for the V30 opposed to the V20, but the Jewel Cube Speakers are so crisp and clear. Music never sounded better. The surround sound fill the room evenly at all volumes. It's powerful when it's suppose to be, yet the dialogue is clear and coherent. The only adjustment I made was to increase the bass to +2 and Treble to +4. I left everything else on automatic. My old receiver was overbearingly powerful in which the details would get lost. The minimalist design of the Lifestyle systems is superb. The system blends in the room's decor perfectly. One note of caution, IF YOU SEE "PCM 2.0" ON YOUR BOSE DISPLAY-MAKE SURE YOUR DVD SOURCE IS ON THE RIGHT SETTING. Contrary to what the Bose saleman said to me, PCM 2.0 is not the same as Dolby Digital or DTS 5.1. I was getting PCM 2.0 on movies and Dolby Digital 5.1 on cable tv and video games. I have a PS3 in which I had to change the HDMI setting from 'linear' 2.0 to 'bitstream'- Problem solved - I now get 5.1 on all forms of media. In conclusion- If you have the means, I highly recommend this top end Lifestyle system. You will save in the long run. I spent $2,300 in 1999 when I mixed Bose speakers with a Yamaha receiver and was never 100 percent satisfied. I would have been much better off shelling out a few hundred more and getting a Lifestyle system back then.

Replaced a seven year-old Onkyo system with the Bose V30. The system worked well right out of the box. The jewel cube speakers are outstanding considering their size. Unlike conventional speakers, they are broken into two speakers each (per speaker) and allow you to swivel each speaker in different directions. I am quite aware that I spent alot of money compared to other systems available, but the Bose design blended nicely into my room's decor. You don't even know there is a home theater system in the room. Classical music is amazing on this system. Movies are awesome. I use the system with a Sharp Aquos 42 1080P and a Sony Blu-ray player. Of course, my cable provides 40 or 50 HD channels. One thing I have discovered is that I can use the Bose system 100% of the time, even when watching a TV program. With the Onkyo, I only used it for movies and music because it was overbearingly powerful. The Bose V30 fills the room with rich sound and it is pleasing, even at lower volumes. Sure, I could have spent less on another system, but for the minimalist design and outstanding sound, nothing else compared. I did have a few issues during installation and Bose customer service was personable, patient and effective (and also English-speaking AMERICANS). Bottom line: if it fits your budget, it is a fantastic system!

Like others out there, I have waited a long time to purchase a Bose Home Entertainment System. My visit to our local Bose Factory Store in Manchester Vermont was nothing short of fantastic. The staff and our audio attendant were very attentative to our customer needs with service and attention to product detail that I have not seen in quite some time in a store. Our initial intent was to look into the Bose 321 System as we were looking for a system that could deliver a home theatre experience in a compact package. As we looked into other systems we came across the V class Lifestyle systems and we were drawn to it's sleekness in overall design as well as the cube style speakers. I was unaware that Bose produced such a system, but found it to be the perfect compliment to our home theatre as we recently invested in a Blu-Ray Player. In order to get a better sense of overall performance, we decided to experience the home theatre demonstration room as they had the Jewel Cube Speakers we were interested in. The sound produced from these speakers was so crisp and lifelike. We decided on the V30 System as the Jewel Cube speakers were decidedly better in overall sound reproduction and at about $1,000 additional I feel they were absolutely worth it. As we do not have an ideal room for home theatre speaker placement, the AdaptiQ feature can and does calibrate brilliantly to give every person in the room the ideal home theatre experience. For those who may wonder, the Acoustimass Module does have both a Bass and Treble Compensation allowing you to customize to your taste. We run our Blu Ray directly to our TV to take advantage of the HDMI 1.3 version and the Satellite System runs through the Media Center and the Audio is hooked up via Digital Optical Cable providing the best overall sound experience for which Bose is known for. Yes the HDMI is 1.2, but version 1.3 is not available on most cable systems and broadcasts are usually in 1080i format. We went in eyes and ears wide open and were focused on the acoustic features of the Bose. I would say that we are very happy with our overall purchase and can highly recommend the Bose Life Style with Jewel Cube speakers.
