Subtle speaker help needed

Quick version. I have been a member here many, many years. I don't even know how many. I have a question. My house that I built, sold and had lived in for 15 years had dedicated everything. HT room, music room. This house is a 96 year old traditional. I have gutted the place with all new everything. I have made several changes such as removing three walls that opened everything up. But, I have kept the traditional feel to the home though. I am now stuck on making a system that will blend in to the decore (sp)
Any suggestions ? I hate to say it but I have been giving the BOSE system a thought. Help before I do this.

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.

Going just on past experience with the quality of Denon's products, I'd consider their line at the price point you mentioned. They do offer three different home theater package systems, but the only one to meet all of your criteria is this one:

Denon's TDHT-486DV: Complete 7.1 Home Theater System

the new NHT's! I think its the xd series or something. Dont know how they sound but they look really good!!!
I am a newbie but I would never go with Bose.. Go Kef or AE instead....

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 :)
