Audio system suggestions

[Steve Rissler]

Hello listers,

I'm considering replacing my Bose setup - which, amazingly enough, works
fine, and has even had the recent factory mod installed.  I'd like a
nice 4 channel CD player, and a local stereo shop said there is some
kind of intermediate electronic unit (I assume it's some kind of preamp
or converter) designed for Bose systems, that goes between the Bose
speaker setup and the new head unit - costs around $60 - they claim to
have installed it in some other card with Bose setups and say it works
pretty well.  They also offer to run all new speaker wire and bypass the
Bose wiring setup altogether, at a much higher cost.

Any opinions?  I don't want to spend a fortune on this upgrade - under
$500 for sure - suggestions?  BTDT?

Thanks

Steve R.
