Indeed. The reason that I got to upgrade from my 10-year-old Technics rack system is that my wife was sick of the giant tower speakers. Having been to a Bose store at the mall, I think that's what she was picturing when we discussed "smaller speakers and surround sound". She's been very kind about my M22/VP100/QS4 setup (she can see how happy I am), but I know she's distressed that they aren't as small as the Bose. Me going for the M60/VP150/QS8 setup just wouldn't have worked--too low on the SAF scale.
