I like the 603s actually. The Arcam.. I like them.. Not quite the sound I'm into, but still a very clean piece. I love their CD transports.

I can't see how plaster flying is a bad thing though.. It adds to the game experience..

Bose is the bane of the audiophile's existence. They've never mastered the art. They're claim to fame is "lots of sound from itty bitty speakers". Not good sound, mind ya.. just lots of it.

I have an old pioneer receiver hooked up to my pc right now. It has two 10" subs in the back along with two 3" mid range drivers and two 1" silk dome tweeters. The front are some bookshelf speakers that I picked up from bestbuy for a few hundred. All in all they sound very nice.
