I'm not a big fan of bose, though I do like the idea of almost hidden surround, but not the idea of buying new stands.
I'm sure the Bose are good but I just feel like I am paying extra for the name and cant imagine there is not a comparable or better speaker for less, but what do I know.

Bowers and Wilkins are worth a look. I have them and the sound is incredible. Many ranges to suit different budgets.

...way too much money for the (supposed) quality of Bose. My strategy has always been use MOST of your speaker budget on two really good quality Front speakers first (I've never heard those sony's you showed, but I've never thought of sony as a decent speaker company - then beg borrow or steal some decent surrounds & center 'till you have more speaker budget to match the fronts w/ models from the same manufacturer (B&W are real sweet, paradigm, klipsch, definitive, most of those are fairly easy to find and very good quality) I run infinity right now, not bad but not what I'd keep in the long run.......

I would take the Sony's back if you can, their audio stuff is no where near as good as their video stuff is. If you shop around, you can get some polk RTi series towers for about $212 a piece. Check them out here

You are pushing a fair amount of power too with that amp, I would stay away from satellite speakers. And for goodness sakes, don't get Bose!! How they have scammed so many people into thinking they make a quality product is beyond me....

I should have no problem selling the Sony's so I will just keep them until I get something better.
Are you saying I should use tower and bookshelf speakers all the way around, or just not the very small surround like I asked about earlier?
