screen
in this arrangement, the sonic image SNAPS into focus as opposed to having them in the same plane or in front of the plane of the screen. i have a screen mounted shelf for the center on the top of the screen. i dont use the center nor have i hooked it up as i use dynaquad for ambience retrieval instead of the true 5.1 setup. pretty good sound. i do have the components to do the 5.1 but i am not motivated to do the setup. i know, i know, multichannel sounds great (on some well recorded material properly mixed for realism and not showmanship).
this system is NOT boomy and were it so, i would adjust the sub level and xover point to squelch that occurrence. and i don't support the trend to put things all in one box. and no, the system does not need to be invisible. one system that embraces appearance and sound quality is the maggie mmgc series:

explore the maggie site. these CAN be less visible. but really, the sound of a good system can enhance the home and the relationship of the people in it as it provides an excellent reason to be home rather than out drinking or doing things with others besides the family. the women should appreciate that.
SF tech is right. bose catered to a market but that doesn't mean that the men should just buckle and allow that. i was fortunate in that my wife loved music and accommodated the whole shebang. she could really hear and the system enhanced TV watching in those days before big screens.
sudz, a big screen many times occupies the space between the speakers in homes where we must share the room with the family. personally i enjoy the visual aspect of music.
