Best 2.1 surround?

20 years ago

I am interested in 2.1 surround sound like the cinemate from BOSE. I hear that the bose 2.1 is crappy, and I have seen some other models out there that look interesting. I do not want to run wires, but would like to upgrade from the speakers on my plasma. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

I have an older Bose 3-2-1 system in our family room. It sounds very good for what it is, but don't expect too much without real rear speakers. There is no easy way to cleanly install a 5.1 system in that room. To be honest, the cheapo Pioneer home-theater-in-a-box system (real 5.1) in our gameroom sounds better.
