Question
I want to buy a speaker system for my 32" LCD. I saw two sound systems,
" The CineMate™ GS Series II Digital Home Theatre Speaker System (BOSE)"
&
" YHT-S400 (YAMAHA) "
Please suggest which one is better to buy ?
Sorry, I do not make equipment recommendations because there are so many subjective factors involved. Especially when it relates to sound reproduction and loudspeakers because the sound quality it totally subjective and two persons have different perception of what is the best sound.
From my own personal experience, although I am not directly familiar with the two systems you mentioned, Yamaha are consistently good products whereas Bose have artificial sound and are based on radical design principles that I do not agree with. But, that is just a personal opinion.
Best wishes.
