Kind of in no man's land, BOSE is smoke and mirrors to mask subpar sound by projecting false depth, but then that's kind of a sound bar's job. I'm confident that in the long run your be much happier with nicely placed bookshelves and a modest subwoofer, even bluetooth models. But I'm equally confident you're convinced that the unobtrusive nature of a sound bar trumps sound quality.
I'd suggest looking at the Vizio and Yamaha models [that have bluetooth subs you can tuck away anywhere] before pulling the trigger on the BOSE. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...le-t-5-ag-2-20 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...le-t-5-ag-2-20 |

We looked at soundbars but we went with this little onkyo 2.1 setup instead. It does have the two speakers but works nice for our setup. The sub is wireless.

Picture of setup.
Not a lot of room around the TV, hence my thinking sound bar is good so it won't block TV signal on right side of TV. |
I have a Sony and I really like it.

I have an LG. I'm not sure of the model but it has Bluetooth capabilities and a wireless subwoofer.
It sounds great, particularly playing music, and is about as incognito as one could get. I have it nailed to the wall above my TV and the woofer right next to the TV stand. As a whole, it basically takes up no space. I want to say it was $299 about 3 years ago. |
I have this
http://www.polkaudio.com/products/surroundbar6500bt I listened to a bunch of soundbars over the year(s) and this one sounded the best to me, I love it. Also has a good warranty. |

I submit you'd ultimately be happier with something like this
http://sunnybankhifi.com.au/catalog/...oducts_id=1521 http://sunnybankhifi.com.au/catalog/images/S215.jpg You could easily put brackets on your pillars to hold the individual front speakers and take your time finding appropriate places to put your rear surrounds. Don't know if this comes in a wireless config, but I'm sure there is someone offering a similar form factor and bluetooth. |
$1300 Baby Lee?
That might be a shade overkill. |
If I were to go small surround, Mirage is my choice:

Edit: it also looks like that store was vastly overpricing the set. Listed as $800 at Sound and Vision http://www.soundandvision.com/conten...speaker-system |

I have a Vizio and love it..have bought their TVs for about 7 years and I love them so I decided to get the sound bar and haven't been disappointed
|
I couldn't go without my 7.1 surround system.
