I got the Bose Acoustimass 16 setup running and let me tell you:

It is absolutely fucking amazing.

I had the Acoustimass 6 series running before - passive subwoofer, five single-cube satellite speakers. Loved it. This new set has an active sub and six double-cube satellite speakers.

I thought my old system was great, but this blows it out of the water. It’s like gold plating the gold I already had. I’ve been watching movies and stuff all day and I don’t think I’m going to leave the living room ever again.

The only downside is that my amp doesn’t do 6.1 surround, only 5.1, so the center-rear channel isn’t hooked up. Guess it’s time to upgrade that amplifier, eh?
