Bose CineMate Series II Speaker System

i have the bose wave system and was very impressed with the sound quality. i didn't imagine such big sound from such a small thing. so i decided to buy the cinemate to go with my plasma. it sounded horrible. the cyber acoustic system i had hooked up to my computer sounded better. i went back to the store to return it and told them my problem and they said its because it didnt come with a receiver like the acoustimass. i agree all the other bose products with a receiver/dvdplayer/cd player hooked up to the speakers sound waaay better that the cinemate

bottom line- if your going to spend 400 for a cinemate your better off buying a 5 speaker system from samsung or sony for the same price you get 5 speakers.
