First Sound System for College Student

[tommyboyazn]

I'll soon have my own room in college and wish to setup a PC Home Theatre. What I lack is the capacity to room large towers speakers,10" subwoofers, etc . In addition, I know this will limit my overall audio experience, but I was hoping to have it hooked up to a PC for casual usage of mp3's, movies, and games. I've just begun my research to see which brand suits me best, and will mix and match if necessary. Bose and Klipsch are so far first choice. I'm trying to move away from logitech, altec lansing, and creative speakers because they are more intended for computer users. I need something that's clear and doesn't distort at loud volume and has good deep base. Please post your opinions and suggestions. Here is my initial setup.

Audigy 2 Sound Card
Pioneer Receiver
Bose 6 Acoustimass Series III
or Bose 7 Acoustimass Series II

Please leave any feedback if you have experience with these components. It will be greatly appreciated. Aside from Bose, how about Klipsch, JBL?

How would JBL SCS™ SERIES – SCS136SI compare to the Bose 6? I'm willing to spend up to 1000, but space is my first concern.

More brands come to mind - Cerwin-Vega V-500. Are these systems overkill for a PCHT?
