| Re: Looking for a new system!!
Pretty much anything will give you better bang for the buck than Bose. The big question is, whose doing you install? Are you or your parents comfortable wiring multiple zones?
Assuming you are, $2k for a complete system plus outdoors doesn't leave you a whole lot. Round numbers, you'll need a distribution device of some kind, I like the JBL S36AW for your outdoor speakers.
The multiple rooms thing is going to be severely dependent on what they want to do. Are they talking having the same sound in multiple rooms, or different sounds in different rooms? Music only, or streaming radio, Satellite radio, etc?
My favorite multiple room scenario is a bunch of Zunes syncing wirelessly, connected to Audioengine powered speakers, but that's certainly dependent on your needs.
