Bose? More like Lose!
Please reconsider, OverHeat. You could do much better at that price.

awmg, Bose? Poor guy. I guess there might be a slight difference at least from the tv speakers. (which I might be able to detect with a proper meter 
)

You're throwing us softballs here man!
don't know how small you want to go, but the mirage nanosat package
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001H2VBD0/?tag=neogaf0e-20
one of the sellers has it for $575 new, 100% feedback.
pair them with a receiver capable of HD audio and you're good to go

I'd give something like this a try if I cared about size and keeping the cost low:
http://www.hsuresearch.com/products/vt-12.html
Or by going with the bookshelf models at places like Outlaw, SVSound, HSU, Axiom, AV123, Aperion, etc. (all are pretty good values in audio since they focus on selling to you direct, you're not paying up for the showroom, salesmen, etc.)

OverHeat, if you want to get your audio gear from Futureshop and you want small'ish speakers, you could try the Energy RC-Micro set with a receiver for around the same price as the Bose package. The RC-Micros are small and look nice (pretty high WAF) but they should sound sound much better than the Bose speakers.OverHeat said:
Here is the RC-Micros,

TV: Panasonic VIERA TH50PZ80U
Receiver: Onkyo TX-SR605
Speakers: Onkyo SKS-HT540 7.1 speaker set
Systems: Xbox 360/PS3/Wii
HDMI Switch: 4X2 True Matrix HDMI 1.3a Powered Switch w/ Remote Controller (Rev. 3.0) from Monoprice
Network Switch: D-Link DGS-2205
Satellite: DirecTV HR-23
There are two more composite switches beside the TV on the left hand side. It took me a good 15 hours to redo all the wires and twist tie off the excess length in all the cables and make it less of a crows nest back there.
Disk games are just in folders. Dont have room to display my Game/CD/DVD cases at the moment.
I just moved off campus into an apartment and need a good HDTV that is affordable. Remember... I am a college student!
Is this a good deal on a LCD HDTV GAF? http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage..._Sale&lp=1&type=product&cp=1&id=1218054462391

Not actually a gaming set-up, but behold the Panasonic P50G10!
Ok, maybe that's not the best pic of what the set can actually do...

Indeed, cancel that order and get your cash back. Bose sounds great but the thing about Bose systems is that you can't add on extra devices cuz those bose receivers have a very LIMITED amount of inputs.
It also uses proprietary speaker cables which someone already mentioned.
I recommend Bose systems for music, not so much for their video capabilities.

No.
If you can, save up some more cash and get a better brand of TV. If you must buy the house brand, dont buy Dynex. Get an Insignia.

I had that receiver (or the 606, I forget) but you just don't plug anything into the rear 7.1, instead just use the sides.Nakazato said:
Same thing with my Denon 2309 that I got to replace the Onkyo.
Gaming is done in my room until I move (again) and can have a separate space for it. Like it better this way anyway. Old school consoles are hooked up and played in the attic. No images of it atm though.
Just put some fresh paint on my walls. May hang up a framed Shenmue II poster and something else eventually, but I like the bare cleanliness.

Definitely not as nice as some of the set-ups in here...
Pictures aren't exactly recent... I will take some new ones tonight perhaps.
