Thanks for that, I do own some Bose products and as you say, they're not cheap but worth every penny when it comes to the quality of sound out of those things, not as good as the B&W system I have but still not bad!
Interesting about the placement of the unit, that was something I had been a little concerned about, I don't know how the Bose Soundbar would go in front of my small 19 inch Television, given the measurements you've given I suggest that part of the screen would be blocked so perhaps the TV could sit on top, what do you think?
