Thanks everyone for your advice. I have grown increasingly skeptical of Bose over the last few weeks of research, but my only comparison has been my own $350 dollar Sony HTIB, therefore I've failed to see what was all this hype on why Bose sucks.

Keeping in mind that I am a newcomer to sound and still farely ignorant to the subtleties of a great speaker, will I be able to sense an instantaneous upgrade in the "WOW" effect of these speakers in comparison to the Bose? Will friends and family, who are even more ignorant than I am, feel the same? I'm sorry to bug you all with such superficial questions, and thank you in advance! **Note...I am not utilizing the entire room, therefore the dimensions I have given are a bit misleading. Would the M60 set up be overkill in such a "closed in" configuration? My couch is only 9 feet from my TV.
