| Re: Looking for a new system!! Good advice in the above post. Component costs are going to increase quickly.
Do not be offended, but I'm going to assume your parents know little about audio/video gear if they are trumpeting the Bose name. I don't know anybody who would "ooh and aah" over the performance of any Bose product.
To sucessfully do what you want to do, the price tag could likely top $4000.00 if you want versatile switching along with above average audio quality... and that would likely net get you mid level components plus installation (not including any video).
On such a large scale, $2000 is going to be a budget set up. It really depends on just how discerning your parents tastes are.
