Hi, I recently purchased a Bose Acoustimass 10 Series III 5.1 ch home theater speaker system for a little less than $1000. My eyes were opened when I stumbled upon this page: http://www.intellexual.net/bose.html. Indeed, the specs for this system were not published by BOSE as they were by other manufacturers. And when the system was tested using standardized methods by the author of the page, I found the system specs to be of much lower quality than the competition. Suffice to say, I wish to return my Acoustimass system ASAP, as I have not set it up yet. Since everyone here seems to know alot about audio, I am asking for your opinion on a new 5.1 system for me in the $800-$1000 range to replace the BOSE system. I was looking at polk and infinity but I don't have the time to completely research every brand and model. Suggestions anyone? Thanks.
