Hmmm what other little setup is worth looking into then.. I seem to like the bose as it small and neat speakers I dont want anything big or wires all over

Any ideas?

Have a look at Antony Gallo or Orb speakers if you want something decent.
Even Sony do some decent all in one DVD systems these days.

I did look at that sony but dont really way cables trailing to back of room.. Be hard to hide cables since we have wooden floor.

Hmm hard to decide what to do

Sony do wireless rear speaker 5.1 setups too.

Look into the Yamaha sound projectors as well.

Bose is allright, not nearly as bad as some would suggest. However they are usually more expensive, and generally you can get better bang for buck.

Personally i think that all these micro speaker systems aren't very good, wether you are talking about Gallo, Mission, B&W M1 or Kef eggs. Speakers need to move air, so small just doen't cut it imo. Best to get bookshelf speakers if you have the room.
