Page 1 of Recommendations for mini-component system and opinions on Bose 3-2-1??

I live in Indonesia, so my choices of systems are limited. I like the simplicity of the Bose Acoustic Wave System. It sounds o-k to me and its available locally. However, many folks in this forum seem to think Bose systems are mediocre and too expensive. So, can folks recommend systems (CD and radio) that are at least as good as the Bose system mentioned above, but perhaps no more expensive? Once I have some options I can scour the markets here to see if they are available. Also, I only saw two short comments on the Bose 3-2-1. What do folks think about it as a home theater system? What is the quality of music listening on the system - at least as good as the Bose Acoustic Wave System? Thanks for the thoughts!
