Older Bose Acoustimass 15 system. It sucks huge. The only saving grace is I bought it used from a friend for a fraction of the normal price.

I would like to do some nice front tower speakers but with the state of current systems I don't really think it is worth it. Towers are good for base, but now that is handled by a sub anyway. You may be better off getting some larger bookshelf speakers for the front and running one or two quality subs. If I were to build a system today it would consist of Polks for the full range speakers, a CS2 for the center channel, Monitor 40s for L/R front, and 2 pair of Monitor 30s for the surrounds. You can be all in on the "7" portion of a 7.1 system for $500 with the deals Newegg is running. Spend whatever is left on a sub or two.
