Every time I hear this system, I am amazed. I actually have to walk up to those little speakers to make sure it’s them playing and not some bigger speaker next to them!

Beginning at 5:25, theres a slideshow that simply shows all of the systems main components. Sorry if it seems a little boring. But, at 5:54, theres a picture that shows all of the systems main components together. Speaking of which, excluding 2 of this systems surrounds (which are not essential), this system has just as many essential components as the Lifestyle 48 does. The LS48 has 5 speakers, 1 Acoustimass module, the media center, a VS-2 Video Enhancer, and the remote; 9 components total. This system has 5 speakers (excluding 2 surrounds), 1 subwoofer, the A/V receiver, a Blu-Ray player, and the remote; also 9 components). So much for the Lifestyle 48 having fewer components than a component system.

Anyway, here are a few major flaws with the Lifestyle 48.

-The Lifestyle 48 has a regular progressive-scan DVD player. Unless you have a very, very high end DVD player (which cost over $4000 themselves), that can up-convert a regular DVD to the point it rivals Blu-Ray (and dont even begin to think the Lifestyle 48 can do this), there is no excuse a $4000 surround system shouldn’t come with a Blu-Ray player. And, if you were wondering (or didnt know), Blu-Ray players can play regular DVDs. Furthermore, I was told by some Bose salespeople that they do not see their systems coming with built-in Blu-Ray players in the foreseeable future. WTF?

-The Lifestyle 48 has 5.1 surround sound. Even most of the least expensive A/V receivers on the market (about $200-$300) have 7.1 or 6.1 surround sound. Yes, most movies right now have only a 5.1 soundtrack, but these receivers have Dolby Pro-Logic IIx, which converts a 5.1 (or even a stereo) soundtrack into 6.1 or 7.1 (whatever the receiver has).

- The LS48 has the AdaptiQ sound calibration system. But, the performance of this system compared to the LS48 would be that the AdaptiQ wouldn’t help, for this system’s performance is so much better. Heck, my A/V receiver doesnt even have an auto calibration feature, and it still blows the LS48 away! (This Yamaha receiver does have a calibration feature, though).

-The Lifestyle 48s Jewel Cube speakers, yes, are VERY small, and are very loud for their size. But, would you buy a system to admire its super-small speakers that have big sound, or would you rather buy a system with speakers that are a couple inches bigger, but sound MUCH better than the smaller ones (and costs the same price)?

-The Lifestyle 48s Acoustimass module, well, should be called an Acousticlusterf**k. It has 2 5.25 in. drivers inside of it that are supposed to handle almost all of the low sounds. 5.25 in. drivers are what the size mid-range or mid-bass drivers should be; not subwoofers. As mentioned in the video, it cant play as low as a subwoofer. Also, it produces sounds a subwoofer SHOULD NOT play; dialogue being the main thing. This means that wherever you put it, it would sound as if voices were coming from that location if you listened carefully. Sure, the voices may seem a bit omnipresent, but when in real life have you ever heard voices sounding omnipresent? (So much for Boses lifelike sound). Voices should come out of the speakers only, and nothing but low bass should come from a subwoofer.

The Lifestyle 48s remote is actually kind of cool; it uses radio frequencies instead of IR. However, although Bose claims its a multi-brand remote that can control some other non-Bose components, it can only control basic functions of those components. This means that you will probably still need to use the remotes for your other components to use every feature they may have. The Logitech Harmony One remote this system has, however, supports and gives you full control over almost every electronic media device under the sun (through following a simple online setup through Harmonys website). It may not have the cool RF control the LS48s remote has, but it will limit your remotes to one.

Anyway, if you’re considering buying the Lifestyle 48, or if you think Bose is “the best” or “really good,” think again and go listen to something like this. Heck, even a system costing 1/4 of this (using the same Cinema speakers) would blow away the LS48.

Also, note that because this is a component system, theres a number of ways you could build it. If you’re set on spending only $4000, exchanging the Fathom for a Paradigm Seismic-12 subwoofer, which is about $500 less (and still annihilates the Acoustimass module) would do fine. But, that Fathom makes that extra $500 TOTALLY worth it. Just about anything you could do with this system would make it sound better than the Lifestyle 48.

Anyway, This video shows an example of a big speaker system that you can get for the price of the $4000 Bose Lifestyle 48, and blows the LS48 away.

It is truly amazing how this system shows how overpriced the Lifestyle 48. How on earth can those 4 in. tall Jewel Cubes be worth the same as these bigger speakers, especially when Bose uses some of the cheapest materials out there? Sure, Bose claims their systems are equal to big speakers, yet as mentioned in the video, the Acoustimass module, which is what they say does this, is designed very poorly.

Beginning at 7:44, theres a slideshow that simply shows all of the systems main components. Sorry if it seems a little boring. But, at 8:16, theres a picture that shows all of the systems main components together. This system has just as many essential components the Lifestyle 48 has. The LS48 has 5 speakers, 1 Acoustimass module, the media center, a VS-2 Video Enhancer, and the remote; 9 components total. This system has 5 speakers, 1 subwoofer, the A/V receiver, a Blu-Ray player, and the remote; also 9 components. So much for the Lifestyle 48 having fewer components than a component system.

Anyway, here are a few major flaws with the Lifestyle 48 (and Boses systems in general). Some of them are also listed in my other Lifestyle 48s Worst Nightmare video.

-The Lifestyle 48 has a regular progressive-scan DVD player. Unless you have a very, very high end DVD player (which cost over $4000 themselves), that can up-convert a regular DVD to the point it rivals Blu-Ray (and dont even begin to think the Lifestyle 48 can do this), there is no excuse a $4000 surround system shouldn’t come with a Blu-Ray player. Furthermore, I was told by some Bose salespeople that they do not see their systems coming with built-in Blu-Ray players in the foreseeable future. WTF?

-The Lifestyle 48 has 5.1 surround sound. Even most of the least expensive A/V receivers on the market (about $300-$400) have 7.1 or 6.1 surround sound. Yes, most movies right now have only a 5.1 soundtrack, but these receivers with 6.1 or 7.1 have Dolby Pro-Logic IIx and DTS: Neo 6, which converts a 5.1 (and even a stereo) soundtrack into 6.1 or 7.1 surround sound (whatever the receiver has).

- The LS48 has the AdaptiQ sound calibration system. I talked to one of the salesmen at this dealer, and he said the AdaptiQ is kind of flawed in that it uses two microphones. The downside to this is that one microphone on the AdaptiQs headset will most likely be closer to the speaker when its calibrating, which also would give a less accurate measurement. On the other hand, a single microphone calibration device, like all Yamaha receivers have (Yamaha’s calibration system is called YPAO), most likely takes a more accurate measurement because it only has one microphone, so theres no difference in build quality and microphone position. But even then, the system in this video surpasses the Lifestyle 48’s performance so much that no amount of equalization would help the LS48 come close to being equal to its performance. Even a calibrated LS48 put against this system without itself being calibrated would not come close to being equal to it. You can only equalize a speaker system so much.

Anyway, if you’re considering buying the Lifestyle 48, or if you think Bose is “the best” or “really good,” think again and go listen to something like this.

Also, as mentioned near the end of the video, the total price of the system shown is about $3800. But, if you are willing to pay $4000, you could get either the Paradigm CC-290 center channel, which is $200 more (if you’re a movie buff, I would suggest this). If you like listening music more than watching movies, going with Paradigms Monitor 9s would be what I suggest, which are bigger than the Monitor 7s. But, I think the best thing would be to spend another $500 (which includes the $100 iPod dock) to get a Yamaha RX-V1065 A/V receiver ($900), making the system about $4300 (You could also get two more ADP-190 surrounds, also making this system $4300). Also, if you have the money and are willing to spend it, getting a JL Audio f110 Fathom subwoofer would make this system almost exactly $5500 (and would sound incredible). But, if you don’t want to spend that much, but want to spend more, getting a Paradigm Seismic-10 sub, which is about $700 less than the Fathom, would also be awesome.

I’d like to note that I do not work for or endorse any of these company’s products.
