Ok since he didn't ask about the bloody wave radio...........
I have Kenwood. I'm not saying go and buy them, but I have found that for the price its an awesome set up. Bose is nice, however you must factor in the HUGE price and the reason they are dubbed "All HIGHS and no LOWS". However Bose sort of solved that problem with thier subs thats nearly bigger than your TV
. However this is what I reccomend. Go get a Crutchfield Catalog, look and what you need and figure out what you want. Then go on the internet and get it cheaper somewhere else(Crutchfield has great information but HUGELY over inflated prices). Also are going to get a combo (DVD/Receiver) unit, then you may be sacrificing some of your power. Those units usually don't offer the same power as the seperate units. I do recomend seperate units, However at a $400 limit, you may not have the power to push $600 in speackers to their potential. I did alot of study on this area a year ago. I'm not sure about your TV, but it you have Progressive scan than make sure you get a DVD player player that can read that format. The differenct is huge. Onkyo and Denon are awesome if you have the cash, however I"ve found that Kenwood makes a great product for the price. Here is a pic of my "unit" set up. Its before I moved so it looks slopy:
PS2(Which I never play)
Satalite Reciever
RCA VCR
JVC 7-Disk Progressive Scan DVD Player
Kenwood Reciever pushing 100 watts to each of the 5 surround speackers and 200 to the Sub
