Subtle speaker help needed

I do feel though that for the true HT experience you must have the rear speakers. Not for the phoney stuff that some discs use. But for Stalones Cliffhanger. When the helicopters come from the rear speakers before anything shows up on the screen is amazing.
I am just not interested in getting into this in a living room environment. I feel this is better suited for a dedicated HT environment.

Okay, I will be a little more descriptive. The house is like a center hall colonial. Rooms on both sides of the entrance. I am looking for HT only. I have a tube system set up in the den for my music. I want simple solid stste for the HT. Wife friendly. I want it UNabtrusive to the room. I don't want to see it. I just re did all of the walls in brand new sheetrock so inwalls are out unless I can get them in without a mess. I am not familiar with inwall instalation.
I am looking for a complete system really. I have a 52" Toshiba DLP wich is just the right size for the room. Also kept one LCD projector from the sale of the house that I kept for future use somewhere.
I know BOSE is a major poo poo around here. I really couldn't care either though. No highs no lows must be bose. Bullcrap. I have heard the cubes in a HT environment and they sound good. I just think they are overpriced by about 7000%. Even on the used market they are commanding wayyyy too much. But the BOSE concept and size (to me ) are the perfect bookmark.
Does that supply enough info ?
Thanks, Scott

The house that I sold in May of 05 had a KILLER HT room. 100" screen, Sony CRT projector, reclining HT seats. You name it. I got bored with it. It just isn't that important anymore. I have my music system that I can still be anal over. I am tired of the HT scene.
I want a simple system that will not distort. Thats it. As far as I am concerned it is not that difficult to reproduce a movie experience.
I would like to keep the price under $1000 for everything( which is speakers and receiver)

Just for the record. I have quite a bit of experience in building systems. I have just been out of touch for a couple of years and need your help.
Believe me I have thick skin. I was putting together Bose systems when half of these bashers weren't even born yet. They think they have a clue:) Let's all join in on the band wagon heh !

Where the problem lies is I have very little if any experience with the low end stuff. I have always been trying to upgrade to the piece that satisfied me. I found that to be an endless battle. Especialy when you have OCD. It never ends. So now I have givin up on that. At least for HT, I'm not that easy.
Any help in this is appreciated.

Honestly, I think I might even be at the point where I might even go without surround speakers. It is just not that important to me right now.

Thanks for the input. That really isn't an option for me because my 2 channel system is tubed based Rogue Magnum M120 mono's. I don't want to power them up unless needed. That is why I am thinking SS for the base system.

Still pondering. Last night my wife and I were talking about putting a HT room up on the unfinished third floor of this house. The family was always diggin the old HT room. Everyone would be very happy for another HT room here.
The wife didn't complain too much about the spending on this. But she always has an issue when it comes to my 2 channel rig.
Can't figure that one out :)

I looked it up but, at this point if I am going to build another dedicated room. I would use higher end stuff. I just didn't want to clutter the living room with boxes.
Thanks for that info though.
