I like Bose products, simple to set up and use with great sound. I have a Sony surround system I purchased a few years ago and it's a bitch to figure it out and set it up....
yeah..I'm not a HUGE fan of the Bose system (mostly because of their main head and the insane amount of $$$ they charge for it...)..but,their speakers are a good value for the $$$.
I have a pair of 301's in the front, 201's in the rear, and their center speaker all hooked up to my Outlaw Audio amp/subwoofer. KICKS ASS.
One of these days I'm going to venture to www.orbaudio.com and get some of THEIR speakers.
