I agree. Bose isn't that great. Their speakers sound kind of empty with too much treble (granted this can be adjusted with an equalizer, but when they sound like this by default, I wouldn't want them). I'm not sure if they even make a Dolby 5.1 surround system. I would definitely go with Onkyo receivers and amps, and Acoustic Research speakers and subs.
Don't get me wrong. I am a strong advocate for the Open Source movement and implementing Linux for back and front end uses, but unfortunately there are plenty of situations where it's not the lack of experience or tech support with UNIX that's the problem, it's the lack of specialized for Linux. I work for a small engineering firm, and we have quite a few simple DOS and Windows based applications that have been specifically written for a particular city/county's building codes which can only be run on Windoze/DOS. A second problem with software is that we use AutoCAD 6 and AutoCAD 2000 extensively for designs, and last time I checked it's not ported for Linux...yet....but perhaps WINE would work? It is unfortunate that problems like these would ultimately stop many business from making a slow transition from Windoze to UNIX.
