I helped a long time air force friend who just retired from Sudbury & just bought a condo out here on Vancouver Island. He brought all of his audio gear with him & after looking into a box full of wires & cables, he decided 'enough already'. Up went an unobtrusive Bose Waveguide Radio/CD Changer in his living room & a Bose HT System for his TV in the computer room.

Another friend is downsizing his home as well & is going from a full, dedicated HT Projector Room to a much smaller system, most probably Bose as well.

I don't offer any advice; however, if this is happening in my own little world of older pharts, I would assume that this trend is occurring on a large scale. With Bose being the leader in these type of home packages, this much maligned but highly successful company is going to continue to do rather well I would think...
