Miel1, I have what many would regard as a high-end 2-ch stereo. This did not
preclude me from buying two bose systems, Lifestyle 38 and a 1-2-3 for each
of my large flatscreens (in other rooms than the stereo though). I think that the
quality and package offered is, as mentioned somewhere above, very attractive
for the budget. However, if you intend only to do 2-channel music (and not for
tv/film or multiroom capability) then you should explore other options, and
certainly if you can heck used gear, for $6k or close you can surely get a better
sounding setup. The pb could be to a/b Bose vs other systems as they have their
own dedicated stores... so it just depends on how serious you want to get into
the audiophile hobby ... good luck!
Out here in Europe the Lifestyle 48 retails for EUR 5000 or USD 7000 !!!

I would look for a second hand Resolution Audio set and a pair of highly sensitive speakers (96db+) or DIY a single baffle like a SoloVox. Very musical, yet modern and versatile.
