I fail to see how anyone can be disappointed with this product. It is certainly the best appliance I have bought for sound quality. I first came across this product when I attended a dinner party at a friend's house. I was amazed at the quality of sound coming from so compact a unit. Even more surprised to discover there were no bulky speakers to be found cluttering up the room and it fitted neatly on the top of the of my friends television. It really can be placed anywhere. There are no unsightly wires and only one wire to plug in. It is so neat and light weight it can move with you from room to room so that you can take your music round the house with you. The quality of sound is superb. You can also connect your i-pod or mp3 player. There is also a facility to wire up to your television so that you can enjoy the same high quality of surround sound while watching your favourite television programme. Having discovered Bose, nothing else comes anywhere near.
