Premium performance
Bose® knows sound. They ought to. They've been at it since 1964. (Who isn't familiar with the Bose® Wave radio?) So it should come as no surprise that their innovations in the home theater arena are equally impressive. Bose Lifestyle® systems provide a welcome alternative to conventional component-based systems by offering fully integrated home entertainment solutions. Lifestyle® systems deliver award-winning performance and elegance from elements specifically engineered to work together. Easy to set up, the Lifestyle® V25 system lets you connect up to 6 HD and music sources, such as your Blu-ray Disc player, cable box, gaming system, and iPod® or iPhone®.
Highly innovative. Highly adaptable.
Just as Bose® knows how to get a big sound from a small space, they also know how to get their big sound into your space, whether big or small. The Lifestyle® V25 system features ADAPTiQ® technology that analyzes and adjusts the system's sound to the size and shape of your room. This allows greater freedom of speaker placement and ensures consistent, high quality performance.
What could be more direct than direct sound? Why, reflected sound of course.
It appears counter-intuitive, but hearing is believing. Bose® engineers spent years perfecting the speaker technology that embraced the relationship of reflected to direct sound. Their goal was to recreate, as closely as possible, the experience of a live performance through speakers in your home. While testing the original prototype speakers, Bose® engineers first began to understand why the ratio of reflected to direct sound is so important to live music. Their experiments revealed it was the spatial characteristics of the concert hall that gave music its live quality. To get the same effect from a loudspeaker, they'd have to emulate those characteristics. The result? The Direct/Reflecting® speaker and its unconventional rear-facing drivers. Direct/Reflecting® technology has come a long way in the last forty years: today, surround sound technology and multichannel sources mandate systems that can re-create the listening impact you've come to expect in movie theaters. Direct/Reflecting® technology helps support these complex movie soundtracks by delivering pure, life-like sound for a whole new entertainment experience.
How low can Bose® go?
Low-range frequencies are essential to a fully textured audio experience. But subwoofer-esque units cramp a setting as cozy and intimate as your living room. Meet the Lifestyle® V25's Acoustimass® module. This Bose® breakthrough delivers a breadth of low-range frequencies without crowding your footrest. Place the module behind a curtain or chair, and like magic, all of the sound seems to come directly from the small cube speakers. Save space without losing those rich, resonating tones.
Breakthrough simplicity
If you're new to Bose®, it won't take long to understand why so many audiophiles fall in love with Bose® products. The simple fact is that Bose® engineers their products to work together seamlessly, and the Bose® Lifestyle® is no exception. It's engineered with exclusive Bose Unify™ technology, which guides you through the setup process. The system shows you the best connection and which input to use. It even verifies the connections you make, so you can be confident you've set it up correctly. Now that's technology operating as it should — making your life easier.
Everything but the proverbial kitchen sink
Go figure, Bose® is so concerned that you have an easy time of installing and enjoying your system, they've included an abundance of features you'll really fall for (outside of the already outstanding Unify™ technology). On the inside, the V25 comes with automatic video upscaling that delivers the highest resolution your TV can accept, plus it enhances non HD content to look as good as possible too. You'll also enjoy the built-in FM/AM radio tuner. On the outside, Bose® has included a Bose® universal remote that works intuitively with the on-screen navigation menus. And, they've even thrown in an iPod/iPhone compatible dock, so you can land your mothership of music on planet Bose®.
Really, just because half of your system is behind the curtains, doesn't mean it isn't attractive
Bose® is equally aware of visual aesthetics, and that's why they built the Lifestyle® V25 components with a sleek, contemporary appearance. Not only do they sound good, they look good too. So, even if someone sneaks a peak behind your drapes, you won't be ashamed at what they find — as long as it's a Bose® speaker that is.
