And show me all of that with the aesthetics of the Bose system, and that costs no more than $2000.

Obviously that isnt important to you. But believe it or not, you arent the only consumer on earth. And the people who do need this type of system are not "common fools"

Not sure if this has been answered yet, but you can easily put together a system that will meet most those needs (except maybe the HD and diff zones) for $2000.

Now while this other system might not be able to control 15 zones, it will produce better sound, have a more complete frequency range, support HDMI and the latest audio codecs, better upscaling, more power, etc.

Now if controlling 15 separate zones is more important to you then the other things I mentioned, then Bose would be your best choice.

Meant to add - Monster cables are extremely overpriced and should always be avoided, and I have no idea why there is so much love on this site (and only this site) for Klipsch. I would guess because this site is more geared to those just getting into AV (younger crowd) as compared to more dedicate AV sites.
