hi,
i recently purchased a bose lifestyle 30 sytem. dont worry, i bought it pre owned at an amazing price! the system is dynamite looking and my girlfriend loves it. but i am wondering if all of the money that is spent on this system is more about the style rather than the sound. i do enjoy the way it sounds but the more i get into audio, the more i wonder if i would be much happier with something else. so here is the dilemma, should i sell my bose sytem (i could probably get close to $2000) and get another system or would i just be wasting my time. remember i would only have $2000 to spend on a new sytem including receiver, speakers, and a 6 disc changer. if you think i should switch, suggestions for new equip. would be great. maybe i am just never satisfied, i dont know!! help! thanks in advance!

Follow Ups:
If you are happy with the sound, then by all means stick with it.
If you have some minor complaints try some cheap improvements.
The best I have tried, bang for the buck, is to treat CD's with Optrix ($15/bottle), and to replace your wall outlet with industrial grade
(I used Leviton 5262 IGS 15 Amp receptacle from Home Depot).Replacing your system is a more major undertaking. I am positive that a big chunk of the money you spent on your Bose (or the original buyer at least) went to their looks, size, and the Bose marketing machine-- but I could not comment on whether you could do better for $2k as I have not heard the Bose.
Is your system music only or music/HT?

thanks so much for the response. it is a home theater system. the more i think about it, i really would love music to sound better than it does. but i still really enjoy the home theater. i am so confused!!! there are just so many options.
Please give a brief description of the Bose system so we can judge if parts can be progressively upgraded or is it an all or none situation? I would hesitate about advising to ditch it completely. It is probably excellent value for $2,000. A better path might be to retain it all and slowly build up an alternative, learning as you go. The Bose can be a second system backup in another room (bedroom?).Welcome to the madhouse - the more who join, the more comfortable we incurables feel!

no, it's an all in one system. it would all have to go!
