I also had a Bose home theatre system before I had I bought my Klipsch, and really, in my small theatre/sports room (15'/17') the sound filled the room, it soudned good, accurate and my only complaint that the sound was very, very loud, and distinctive between speakers. I added an 8" Velodyne sub when my dog chewed the side of the Bose subwoofer off, and the bass response was wonderful. Those Bose sounded of a whole different world just with a simple change of a sub. Since moving to our new house, and with the bigger room, the Bose had to be replaced.

Old:

Bose LifeStyle 10
Velodyne 8" Sub
Denon AVR-3803

New system -

Front Stage - Klipsch Reference Series RF5
Center - Klipsch Reference Series RC-35
Rear - Klipsch Reference Series RS7
Sub - Velodyne SPL-1000 Series II
Denon AVR-3803

Quite a sizable upgrade, in terms of money, and quality.

The moral of the story, depending on the room size, I think Bose can fill a room, and an upgrade of a good sub makes a huge difference in the sound of them.. However, for similar pricing, Synergy Series Klipsch are heads above.
