I auditioned the YSP-1 at the local Audio Video place here in Olympia, Washington. Personally, I think the Bose 3-2-1 system actually sounds better, because the YSP-1 has a bunch of 2 watt tweeters which make it sound really... not distorted, but loud, annoying, and irritating. It was neat to hear noise coming from the side wall, but for the money, I think the Bose 3-2-1 system's surround setup sounds better and it costs something like 400 dollars less (depending on the dealer).
