Is BOSE worth it or are you paying for the name brand?
I know I've heard a lot of BOSE surround sound systems and they sound amazing. I've never really heard any other types of surround sound systems. I have a 20x20 bedroom and was thinking about putting the BOSE 3-2-1 system in there, but is there anything else that only has 2 or 3 speakers with a subwoofer that's comparable to BOSE for under $1,000?
As Somebody who has installed well over a hundred HT systems and I keep up to date on alot of Audio Visual forums, I can tell you that Bose is pretty much some of the WORST speakers out there. If you do a simple search on Bose in any Audio forum and you will see that Bose is disliked pretty much by every single one of them.
I suggest you check out AVSForum.com or SoundandVisionmag.com heck do a simple search on any forum and you will see how bad these speakers are.
Here is the main problem. Physics dictates that a drivers (speaker) size can achieve a certain frequency response. The human ear can hear pretty much anything between 20Hz (low bass) and 20kHz (high frequencies). Or think of it as a simple 100 points on the hearing scale.
Now because of Physics, those tiny cubes pretty much have a frequency curve of 95Hz to 13kHz and their "Bass Module" which cannot be called a subwoofer, because to be called a subwoofer it has to achieve a low frequency response of at least 35hz or lower. So the Bose Bass Module has a frequency response of 47Hz-80Hz (normal crossover point). So if we crunch the numbers we see that Bose is missing 20Hz-47Hz (27 points on 100 point scale). It is also missing 80Hz-95Hz (15 more points) and is missing the upper frequency of 13kHz-20kHz (7 more points on the frequency curve. So if we add those missing points it comes out to missing 49 points on the 100 point frequency curve. You are essentially missing almost half of what you can hear.
So how come Bose cubes sound so good in stores? Aha this is a good question. What Bose does is they find music and demo movie scenes that basically hit upon every frequency that the Bose can handle. If you bring in your own music or movies, you will find that it sounds pretty bad.
You will also find those tint little Bose setups, where the speakers are hanging on branched arms and completely surround you. There is a reason for this. They are very close to you and don't have that much space they need to fill. With speakers all around you at a distance of four feet or less, the cubes don't have to fill that much space, because in a normal listening room, those cubes have to be cranked pretty loud and those tiny drivers will now introduce distortion into the mix.
Bose is all about marketing and a simple search in any audio video forum will confirm this.
Here are some great links.

and the most techincal data confirming the frequency response of the Bose speaker system.
