[QUOTE="9397SVTs, post: 16199595, member: 143297"] I would first have to decide what I wanted. Do I want a stereo system or a theater system? To me, they are two different things. However, most in here are suggesting using a theater system as a multi-purpose option. I guess that's fine, provided the AV receiver can turn off individual/paired speakers to allow for 2-channel stereo listening. My primary focus was on a stereo system. A theater system was secondary, and as such, the components needed to be small and unobtrusive. Because of this, I have a Bose Lifestyle V20. I doesn't compete for floor space or visual attention. A lot of people have nothing good to say about Bose systems, yet, I wonder how many of those actually owned one or just regurgitate what they read in some review. Are there better options? Of course. Are they pricey? Yes. Just like with any other system, it needs to be set-up properly. Speaker placement is a big deal. Initial tuning with Audyssey or ADAPTiQ is a must. Speaker volume and bass management can and should be adjusted to personal preference. The Bose is more than adequate for watching TV and the occasional movie. So, what is your primary focus? Stereo or Home Theater? Both? [/QUOTE]
