Cinemate 130: Bose Cinemate 130 Review

Well, now we will give a review of CineMate 130. The sound is amazing with vibrant highs and lows with a punch. And as a bonus, I no longer need to have wires running between my stereo receiver and the rear channel speakers which aesthetically looks a lot nicer. The CineMate 130 really makes home theater easy to set up.

Unboxing this system was a complete JOY because of the frustration free packaging, modular boxes and well-thought out arrangement inside the larger Bose shipping box. It's the little things that count and this really impressed me! However, in regard to packaging, I think Bose should consider shipping this product in a non-descript box because if you have it delivered to your porch and you aren't home to get it right away, it is a prime target for thieves. It's very clearly marked as a high end Bose CineMate system with large Bose graphics.
