Michael,
I am one of the few on this forum that will stick up for one at least one Bose product. I have owed a set of Bose 901 Series II which I purchased new in 1974 for $400 and still use them for stereo music listening. As far as I am concerned the 901's and the 800 PA speakers were the only Bose products that were any good. The problem with the 901's were that many rooms in the average home did not have the proper reflective surfaces required by their design and they had to be set up very precisely within that room to perform correctly. Many wife's disliked the fact that the speakers had taken over layout of their family or living room. As a result of management change and bowing to the wishes of wife's and interior designers Bose developed the first of their cube systems which could easily be hidden in just about every room. They marketed their product in with specially produced audio tracks that sounded great in the store but were not the same audio products available to the public.
I have noticed that Bose cubes are about the only product that people feel free to complain about even white van specials tend to get more respect. This is due to the fact that the cost of the Bose Cubes are way out of whack with the quality of the product.
One thing people tend to forget is speakers are very subjective in evaluation. Your Bose Cubes will work with all of your new equipment but you are not going to get the benefits in audio quality from your new Blu-ray and HD cable. But it will be no worse than what you are currently experiencing. Down the road you might want to check out what you are missing and see if it is worth it to you upgrade.
