Bose has always had a label of high price low quality. The current price for this system on Amazon is 999.00. I could set up a way better sounding system for 1k. But it would not offer the convenience that this system offers. The sound is pretty good for two speakers and a sub. At times you do feel like you are getting that 5.1 sound but other times it does come up short. Some of the new TVs coming out now are producing better sound then this system. The system is perfect for a living room or second entertainment area. I would how ever not recommend it your the man cave.

Have you ever been over to a buddies house and wondered how he has speakers half the size of yours yet it seems to sound 100 times better? It’s time to do something about it! It’s time to talk about how you can get the best sound for your Man Cave while still keeping within your budget.

The first thing you need is a surround sound system. Now for those of you that are new to the surround sound arena let me give you a few tips.

  1. You don’t need to buy the most expensive system to get great sound! (although it is good to have some high quality speakers.)
  2. Know what you want! Do you want Dolby Digital® 5.1, Dolby TrueHD® 7.1, or DTS®
  3. What is the size of your room? Do you know if you are going to go wireless or not? (this is technically one question. Based on the room size and shape you may opt to go wireless.)
  4. You need to know how much you can spend before going out and setting up a system. Do your research to know exactly how much it will cost for what you want so there are no surprises.
  5. Get ready to live!

Now that you have figured out exactly what you want how do you go about choosing? Well you could take your friend who has the great sounding surround already… Or you can jump online and see what others have gotten and how they rate the things in your price range. You will come to find out that like I said earlier, it’s not always how much you spend to get great surround. Click the read link to find out how to setup your new surround system. continue reading…

Amazon is my favorite place to buy electronics and other random things. Usually when I am shopping for, well, almost anything, I start out by going to Best Buy, HH Gregg or even Wal-Mart, and  then I come home and buy that item from Amazon at a much lower price most of the time. One of my other favorite web sites is htmarket.com. This website has given me some great ideas. They can be a bit pricey but often have great deals and great coupons sent to your email.

These two companies have everything that you can think of when making a Man Cave. HTmarket has great bundle deals that meet any budget.  An item to check out is the Buttkicker. It mounts inside your sofa or chair and gives you a different movie or gaming experience every time it hits. The Buttkicker starts out at about $430.  Still, I recommend searching for anything you consider buying on Amazon’s site first to find the best deal, but between these two web sites you can get plenty of ideas and in most cases save some money.
