Small and satisfying. Please help me.

With all due respect, anything besides Bose. I own Source Technologies - a very little known company out of Conn - and they have a couple of really good HT packages www.sourcetechspeakers.com
Also, Axiom audio has a couple of HT packages, and I would look at the pre-owned section of both Audiogon and Videogon to see what else is available.
Best of Luck

I'd really like to go the 5 channel route. I found the sound quite cool. The Bose system sounded nice, but I'm certainly not a Bose fan.

I checked out all the websites you've mentioned. I'm looking small and complete. An HT (5channel) system with DVD, amp, speakers, sub, the whole nine.

I know you're looking for thoughts on speakers (by the way, I think the Bose setup is just fine for a bedroom HT)but I thought I'd pass along some information on TV's since it seems you may not have purchased your plasma quite yet. From what I've read, the way to go is not plasma, but LCD. LCD sets use less energy, don't run as hot, have a crisper picture, etc. Currently they are more expensive, but that should rapidly change soon.

Yes. Go to the Mangepan site http://www.magnepan.com and link through to their home theatre system.
