totally agree. it's much more expensive than altec lansing, so if you're on a budget stay with altec. but if you're willing to spend the money to get the best, don't think twice and get the klipsch. it blows everything away, including overpriced bose.
medyo malaki lang yung subwoofer so you have to have some space (wag gawing footrest ha! )
as far as sites to do some research, www.cnet.com is excellent
