I have to disagree, I have a Bose system and it is easily the best system I've ever owned. Sure it may not be the loudest, but for my house it gives me the deep roar that rattles stuff off of the walls when you watch war movies. Plus I really like the aesthetics of it, the little cube speakers are easily hidden and they produce awesome sound. *OH and I got mine on sale for $799 so it was a crazy good deal!
