Konrad,

I think you'll be very happy with the M-1 Monitors. In fact, just to illustrate a point, I used to have some Bose speakers in my bedroom (bought 10+ years ago, back when I thought Bose was good) and I have since replaced the Bose with the M-1 Monitors and a C-1 Center (on order). The sound quality is very much improved, and I'm really happy with the looks too. I can't wait until my center arrives! :-)

Brian really knows what he's talking about. He's a regular over at the SMR Forums (http://forums.smr-forums.com:8080/ ) and his advice about speaker design is highly-regarded there.

Take care,

Jeff
