are you happy with them?
any remorse?

Audiophiles tend not to be too blown away by them as there is only so much information you can hear from a speaker of their size.
However, if you connect them to a half-decent receiver (Denon AVR2105 or Yamaha RXV650 for example) you will have a system which will destroy most home theater in a box systems.
They work quite well in small rooms and if you haven't owned better speakers than these previously you will probably enjoy them.
They are good enough to be worth hooking-up to a decent receiver though, a $250 Sony isn't recommended.

i agree with what you are saying.
i havent had any system to the level of the bose... so if i am getting the bose it is an improvement from what i have. (klipsch)

and i am going to get a good receiver... harman kardon is on the top of the list followed by denon, yamaha and onyx (or however that is spelt).

plus ppl who have the bose system, talk highly of them and i have on more than 3 occasions listened to them on high volume and they seem flawless... but i have not compared it one on one with another system.

Sonically, Yamaha make for a good partner to Bose cubes. Denon sound a little more convincing with monitors/bookshelves or floorstanders, but Yamaha cut it nicely with Bose cubes. Onkyo would work okay aswell, if, dynamically a little rough around the edges.

Got em' love em' Driven by a Pioneer receiver - it absolutely shakes the house with bass, and crystal clear mids/trebs. For all the Bose haters, you are invited to come check it out yourself.

....despite what all the Bose-haters say.

The cubes are so small as to be all but unnoticeable in the room, and the sub's shape makes it REALLY easy to hide, both of which were key requirements (as requested by my wife). The sound is smooth and easy to listen to.

That said, it's a pri$ey setup, and if value is an important concern, you could probably do better, but you'll give up the cool/convenient form factor in most cases to get a "better deal".

That's only $200/speaker. Considering how many people spend at least $2500 on a TV these days, $200 on a speaker is being quite cheap. Particularly as good sound is far more revealing and stimulating than good picture. Putting more money into the sound than the TV provides the user with a far more of a Home Theater experience than a big TV with a HTiaB ever can.
