Small and satisfying. Please help me.

OK guys. You've got me on the right track for a 37" plasma for my bedroom. I want to do it with surround sound. My wife is gung ho but wants it sweet, simple, small and not ridiculous $ wise. I heard this 5 way Bose surround set-up and loved it. Had all the qualities I'm looking for. Can I do better? Space, remember, is the MAJOR factor. My bedroom, although nice size, is still my bedroom. Thanks in advance. warren

I checked out all the websites you've mentioned. I'm looking small and complete. An HT (5channel) system with DVD, amp, speakers, sub, the whole nine.

I know you're looking for thoughts on speakers (by the way, I think the Bose setup is just fine for a bedroom HT)but I thought I'd pass along some information on TV's since it seems you may not have purchased your plasma quite yet. From what I've read, the way to go is not plasma, but LCD. LCD sets use less energy, don't run as hot, have a crisper picture, etc. Currently they are more expensive, but that should rapidly change soon.

Yes. Go to the Mangepan site http://www.magnepan.com and link through to their home theatre system.

A few more that come to mind: Definitive Technology, KEF, Klipsch, Tannoy. I believe that all of these companies have HTIB's with nice looking satelites and good sound. I also belive that Daniel Kumin in Sound and Vision does reviews on HTIB's on a regular basis, see if you can find a couple for direction on which way to look. Just some more thoughts.

Warren,
Which 37" plasma monitor have you selected? What is the current street price?

Thanks,
Joel
