Bose is WAY overpriced and should be avoided at all costs. I think Crutchfield had a sale on Infinity's Entra HT speaker package for around $600 in one of their last flyers but it may have expired. Do your homework and look around because there are quite a few decent HT speaker packages around today in your price range which will probably make you happy. Also, check out Athena's small bookshelves, center channel and powered sub at Best Buy.
