I recently bought the Boston Acoustics DigitalTheater 6000 system, which is remarkably simple and compact and sounded much better that the Bose LifeStyle system in the showroom (which cost twice as much). I am not an audiophile, but I am very happy with the results including with classical music.

I have so far found nothing about this system on this or any other site, which puzzles me. Has anyone else got this system? What do you think of it? Have you found any reviews anywhere?

Well, I'll try to take a stab at it.

The DigitalTheater is an entry level device, and as such probably won't be getting too many site owners or veteran receivers looking for it. Why? Well, it won't complement their current system so is of no first-level interest. The DigitalTheater is designed to work as a stand-alone unit along a TV, VCR and DVD player. If you need more inputs - tape deck, CD, tuner, phono, more VCRs, satellite etc, it's of no use. Most of these users use receivers or preamp/amp combos and typically review those.

You may find eventual reviews from users who own this. But that of course means it's up to the users to write and submit, something that 99.9% of them aren't going to do. If Boston perhaps seeked out a few reviewers, they may get more response. I'm not so sure how new the system is, but if it's "fairly new" you may find it in a few magazines later this year.
