For the digital audio connection, check out Monoprice.com – they have the “miniplug to Toslink” fiber optic cables in all kinds of lengths:

#2 buzzed it all down just prior to New Years. Timing wasn’t great for a trip to New England, but it dealt with it for a while. We originally thought we’d have a speaker setup at the same time as the TV – so our “temporary” solution lasted three years. Nothing is more permanent that a temporary solution, eh?

The glasses look +1. Congrats on the Bose system — I’m a bit jealous, we’re still using our LCD panel speakers, almost a year after we said “we’ll use these for audio only temporarily, maybe for 2 months at the most.” Congrats also on your new position!

Eh…did you also get your haircut?

We purchased the lifestyle V30 setup. We didn’t want/need the internal DVD player or music storage. It’s basically straight inputs into Bose’s adaptive sound system with the smallest (and slightly higher quality) speakers. We considered the system with the next size up speakers, but were happier with the improved sound in the smaller (jewel cube) speakers. We also caught the very end of Bose’s yearly “January” sale. We’ve been watching and poking at Bose systems for three years debating and figuring for the sound to match the TV.

Just curious on what bose system you bought? I’m looking for an unobtrusive surround system myself to go with my LCD tv, but not sure really where to start with Bose’s stuff
