ok - I did a bit of fooling around with stuff and here's what I have now:

Denon 2803 $600
Axiom M22ti, VP150, QS4 $1060
SVS 2039pci $600
$2260

Now that system is well below the Bose and should be tons better. I'm curious if the M60 is worth the extra $400 compared to the M22. We'll be using this is our living room, which is about 16'x16'.
