Madaming magandang brand out there in the market today that will simply outperform Bose in any aspect. My best friend's set home theater set up is composed of JBL speakers, US Audio subs, Pioneer AV Reciever and DVD and a Samsung HD LCD. It didn't cost him more than the price of a Bose set up. I suggested to look into B&W or Infinity speakers and Onkyo AV Reciever.

What I'm trying to say is that, any product is good, as long as you perceive that is good. Go ahead! Get the Bose if you really like it! Do whatever floats your boat and you won't regret it, for as long as it makes you happy!
