Product Description
Bose' AcoustiMass 10-III provides a matched system for exceptional home-theater performance, an experience that is so superb that you may prefer watching all your videos at home. It consists of six speaker modules: One low-profile AcoustiMass SubWoofer module (with three 5.25" woofers) for authentic bass frequencies that add a depth of dimension that is clearly rich without being muddy; Five tiny Satellite modules (each with two 2.5" drivers) deliver sonorously accurate and realistic mid-range and high frequencies to all 5 home theater channels (Front Left/Right/Center; Rear Left/Right)

sound fantastic.......2007-07-26
Why buy a series IV when you can get the same thing for series III? Just a diff label that they stuck on.
Terrible sound with no mid-range.......2007-01-03
I am not sure why everyone has such a love affair with Bose speakers. Perhaps it is the marketing or the fact that the bass module produces a lot of bass (although it is not very accurate.) The largest problem with these speakers is that there is absolutely zero mid-range. The highs are decent and the lows are powerful, but there is nothing in the middle - zilch. Nada. I would not recommend buying these speakers. There are many better systems out there for the same money.
Agree Agree Agree.......2006-05-10
I am actually surprised at the number of negatives, thought that there would be some loyal blinded bose fans writing review.
Look, Bose really made a name for itself in the 70's early 80's when they had decent bookshelf speakers, they have totally fallen behind with the advent of surround sound, prologic, thx etc.
I agree with many of the comments that the cube speakers are totally worthless, sounds like you are playing a mono am channel. The subwoofer is the worst part of the system, my $50 altec lansing computer speaker system sub blows it away.
Needless to say I will never get sucked into another bose product since i am forced to by a new surround speaker system because of the complete and utter bose inadequacy
Satisfied.......2005-10-04
I have always run all of my media through my pc and my former speaker set (a Midiland 5.1 system) was thoroughly aged and falling apart I decided it was time to upgrade. I wanted something that had incredible sound with both music and dvd's. I shopped around and came to the conclusion I would aim for the form factor speakers. When considering this bose system, this MUST be taken into account.
First off, this system is expensive. For just under 1000 dollars (doesn't 999 sound sooo much better than 1g?) you get 5 bi-directional midrange speakers, the subwoofer unit, and speaker cable. At this price it is very disappointing that bose does not include some sort of receiver, but no matter this leaves room for the customer to customize his/her choice to suit any personal needs and/or budget. Bose includes 3 colors (white, silver, black) and all the speakers are well packaged and aesthetically pleasing with the exception of the sub unit (a large rectangular box meant to save space but does not).
What brought me to look into this system was the specific size of the speakers and there general attractiveness. For their size the bose do a very good job of reproducing any sound-granted they are paired with a competent receiver. Anyone who has any qualms about this system should first consider what they are running their sound through, without competent equipment these speakers will not be on par with what you heard in the store.
Once I got the system home it was very easy to set up and install. Bose packages the speakers with clear instructions and all of the wires are meant to be hidden and include markings as to what speakers they belong to-a very handy feature especially when one is trying to hide this system. The only serious issue I have with this system ended up being with my receiver (an Onkyo) and not related at all with the speakers.
Since I do run this through my computer (presently a laptop) I had a few troubles setting up a new sound card and getting it too mesh with my receiver, but when that was all said and done, I was extremely please with the system. With a bose the tweaking one needs to do is very minimal and thus why this deserves the higher price tag-its target audience is usually those more affluent and unable to spend hours tweaking individual speaker levels and sound ranges.
My test soundtracks included: Gladiator, Matrix (II or III), Snatch, and music tracks ranging from techno, rock, classical, and alternative. Everything sounded great with enough low, high, and midrange response. The second complaint I have with this system is not differentiating in the least between any of the satellites. I found myself turning the response on the center channel up so the front speakers weren't drowning out the voices. That was solved with a little tweaking so nothing major there.
All in all this speaker system is a great investment in my mind satisfying all of my needs (though draining my bank account) and providing me with great surround sound.
Good: Great range and volume of sound. Easy set-up. Well built speakers-aesthetically and physically. No interference or feedback.
Bad: Subwoofer awkward, no dedicated center channel, pricey, no included receiver.
For their size these speakers more than compete with any full-blown tower 5.1 system. Here is one satisfied customer.
Great Speaker System with 110+Watts/channel Receivers!.......2005-06-01
This is a great system -- easy to set-up from the box -- but make sure you've enough power to feed to the speakers. If you've newer receivers with automatic accoustic calibration (i've this feature on my receiver), set-up is so easy to re-create theater sound in your living-room!
Highly recommended.

Bose AM10 Series III Speaker System - Absolutely incredible!.......2004-01-17
Unbelievable and incredible are just two of the words that can only begin to describe the superb clarity, depth and range of sound the Bose Acoustimass 10 Series III Home Theater Speaker System delivers to your home theater! For years now, I've been using Bose 401's, 301's and the VCS-30 Series II Home Theater Surround set to bring that theater feeling into my home and have been proud and satisfied with the performance of these speakers but, after installing the Bose Acoustimass I had absolutely no idea what I was missing.
As part of the VCS-30 Series II Home Theater Surround set, the VCS10 Center Channel speaker provides a great addition to the home theater in so much as bringing voices out to the listener but it doesn't even come close to the clarity delivered by the center channel portion of the Bose Acoustimass 10 Series III. With this system, for the first time, I was able to hear everything that was being said on the screen without having to either roll back the DVD a bit or turn on the text function, making this purchase all that much more worth the price.
What's more incredible about this system is that despite the speakers being mounted on the wall several feet above the television set, the voices coming from the center channel sound as if they're coming directly from the television set.
The bass module, where everything connects to prior to connecting to your receiver, is a true wonder, in and of itself, delivering true bass and "feeling" to watching a movie! What's more incredible about this bass module is that you can place it just about anywhere and the bass that is delivered doesn't even sound as if it's coming from the module but from the many speakers.
Another important aspect to this system is the ease of installation. I found it quite simple to install this system in conjunction with the Bose UB-20W Wall/Ceiling Speaker Brackets to get those beautiful speakers up on the wall where they could do their job best; delivering exceptional sound.
If you do not wish to install wall/ceiling mounts, fear not, Bose has already considered this. All of the speakers are magnetically shielded so you can just about place them anywhere you wish. Bose also manufactures floor speaker stands for a modest price and they even have the UTS-20 Universal Table Stands that are quite reasonably priced as well.
In short, this system is truly wonderful and I would highly recommend it to anybody that is looking for a superior home theater speaker system without wishing to spend in excess of a thousand dollars! Once you've made the decision to purchase and install this system, be prepared to be blown away by the superior quality of the beautiful sound. This system is a true investment that will easily defray the initial costs. {ssintrepid}

Customer Reviews:
High Hopes Dashed.......2005-12-10
The only compelling reason to get this drive is LightScribe technology...
Well, it does what it says - however:
1) LightScribe took almost 18-minutes to render / print a modest design (like the one pictured on the box).
2) Very Macintosh unfriendly. Drive doesn't ship with Mac OS X support, although it can be downloaded from LaCie.
3) LightScribe label software for Mac OS X purchased separately.
Regards other aspects of the drive:
1) Cheap plastic enclosure trying to look like metal / trying to look cool.
2) USB 2 support ONLY - why not USB and FireWire?
3) For the size of the enclosure, it should have an internal power supply, however, it has an inline brick.
Another disappointment from LaCie. I'd return it, but I don't want to stiff the retailer with an open box.
Product Description
The JVC D-Series models are among the best values around with a 36" screen. If your DVD player has a component video output, you can take advantage of the component video input on these TVs to maximize picture quality. The 3-line digital comb filter improves detail while cleaning up "dot crawl" on the edges of images. Along with great performance, JVC TVs offer outstanding reliability. In fact, JVC is one of the most reliable brands in the 31"-36" range!Providing your home theater with 25% more screen area than a 32" model, the 36" AV-36D302 includes a convenient illuminated multi brand remote that operates most DVD players, VCRs, DBS receivers and cable boxes.
Amazon.com Product Description
JVC's AV-36D302 delivers a superb video value built on quality hardware and a dark-tinted picture tube for minimizing glare during DVD playback--a use for which the set was designed.
Video Features
This television features a three-line digital comb filter, which enhances resolution by removing the blurred edges between colors and reducing dot crawl. With compatible DVD players and satellite receivers, this set's component-video output provides 800 lines of resolution to maximize picture quality.
Audio Features
The AV-36D302 features JVC's Hyper Surround effect, which simulates surround sound from the set's two 4-watt speakers. Multiple inputs accommodate everything from DVD player and VCR to camcorder and gaming console. Two composite-video inputs grace the front and rear panels (one input each), and a single component-video input is located at the rear. Three stereo analog audio inputs accompany the video inputs, and MTS stereo decoding is included.
Other Features
The set also offers V-Chip parental control, multifunction and sleep timers, trilingual onscreen menus, and an illuminated, multibrand remote control compatible with most DVD players, VCRs, satellite receivers, and cable boxes.
Customer Reviews:
A good choice!.......2003-01-04
I really love this TV. I caught it on sale about a year ago, and I have been very satisfied with it's performance. The picture is clear, crisp, and defined. Everything I expect and have come to rely on with JVC televisions. I have had three other JVC's and they never failed. They just got upgraded.
VCR/DVD pictures are wonderful, and the BBE and Hyper Surround Sound are both really great to use when you don't have a home theater setup. The boys also prefer to use this to play their games on. That 36 inch screen really makes the games cool enough for even adults to enjoy. I recently added Digital cable, and the picture is even better than before.
The only con I have is that there are certain functions that can only be accessed by the remote. If you lose the remote (a common thing around here!) you lose the ability to switch the BBE or Hyper surround off.
I will eventually go to a HDTV format but I am going to wait until it gets a little more intergrated in broadcasting.
In the meantime, This is the perfect compliment to my home theater.
Display isnt great!.......2002-02-18
After seeing the price, features and the review - this looked like a great deal. I walked into circuit city to watch this TV. It has a very poor display. I decided to pass on this TV.
Completely Satisfied.......2001-09-22
I bought this set after extensively researching and comparing it to non-1080i Sony, Hitachi, and Panasonic 36" tvs, regular and flat screen. I am completely satisfied with the picture, sound, and features. The skin tones and blacks are outstanding, and the sound convincing. In the stores watching the high-definition sample programming, I slightly preferred the flat screens, but felt that they just weren't worth the considerable extra cost. Now that I have this tv at home, I find that I do not miss whatever it was that I thought I saw in the flat screens. The Sony name was not worth the extra cost, and this set offered slightly better features than the Hitachi and Panasonic. I thought hard about an hdtv but decided to wait until all format and broadcast issues were resolved and the price dropped below four figures.
