Title: Past its Prime
Review: I've had my Bose Lifestyle system for many years - since our first Plasma TV. It has worked great (though Bose did replace the hard drive for a small fee).Since a software upgrade a year ago, it now reads and saves disks with MP3 files. It holds much more music than it previously did when it would only rip CDs.The biggest problem with the unit is its lack of support for HDMI and digital audio. My PS3 and AppleTV both use HDMI for video, and either HDMI or Optical cable for audio. The Bose only supports 1 optical input.I got the AppleTV so I could do AirPlay from my laptop, but I really should have looked into an AirPlay compatible receiver.The Bose VS-2 adds HDMI switching capabilities to the Lifestyle receiver, but doesn't touch the audio stream.I really wish I didn't have so much invested in my Bose system. It was great 5 years ago, but it is definitely past its prime now.
Is the review positive or negative?
