I've spend 5 years putting this system together, but I'm never going back to cheap crap after having all this. I've watched deals for the last 5 years and put together this system based on all your reviews and what's been on sale. Unfortunately I'm in college so half of this system ends up sitting at home while I'm living in a tiny apartment. Nonetheless, I think yamaha and paradigm beat the pants of any Bose system I've ever heard. Ive turned numerous people away from bose after they've heard this system, really for the value more than anything else. Hope you all enjoy, and thanks for all of your reviews and comments, I've found them to be very useful.
