I have had my Wharfedale Modus Movies 7 for about two months now and am very happy with the way they perform. I am using them in my master bedroom due to the fact I use a Polk Audio setup in the living room. The room is 15x20 and I am using a Harman Kardon AVR 10 reciever to run the system. The Wharfedale have a real good highs and the passive sub works great in the bedroom. I did hook them up in the living room and they sounded good but for large rooms I would go with a powered sub. I would go with the Wharfedale over any Bose system.
