The guys at the Bose store were trying to convince me to go with the cheaper computer speaker system they sell instead of the SoundDock. I only chose the SoundDock because it's easier to move around my apartment when I feel like it. The computer speakers with a subwoofer really sounded incredible and I believe that package sold for about $230, a significant savings. It'd definitely be worth considering if you want Bose speakers but don't care about portability.
My wife has those speakers, they look cute, but my $100 Altec Lansings sound 10X better. Plus they broke down in their first year.
