If you mean subtle as in unobtrusive and you want a multi speaker system JM labs makes an entry level speaker system called Cubs.
I am not a complete Bose Basher because I am the son of a late audiophile whose friend had one of the first sets of 901s they were revolutionary. As a kid hearing them I thought they blew away many of the speakers of the day. I don't know what Dr. Bose was thinking as he developed new models but the general public seems to like them, I was forced into Bose store (WAF issue) and couldn't tolerate the sound of any model at all. We finally settled on a pretty little floor stander that is generally well liked. They are the Von Schweickert VR2s they are not obtrusive slim a little hieight though and have good veneers and the sound of mine are musical. My wife insisted on them. But these were U.S. built, they are now outsourced to China and may look or sound different. I have my own dedicated system, I won't go into because it's fairly idiosyncratic.
