Using Bose Acoustimass 15 Speakers with a 7.2 channel receiver?
I have an existing Bose Acoustimass 15 Speaker System.
I recently purchased a Blu-Ray Player and want to upgrade to a 7.2 channel receiver.
I would like to integrate my Bose Speaker System into the new set-up.
What I have been told is that I could use four of the Bose satellites for L/R-Surround and L/R-Rear [both pair configured LARGE] with the Acoustimass bass module placed center(ish) back, as a shared woofer.
I would then purchase a new L/C/R and subwoofer as the other part of the new set-up.
Any thoughts?
You could probably get it to work but I wouldn't recommend it.
First Bose are not very good speakers. Second they have lots of equalization built in and are weak on connectivity so matching them to other speakers will be problematic. Third, surround speakers are best when they come from the same family and are what is called "timbre matched". Fourth, unless you have a very big room there is no real advantage to 7.1 or 7.2 systems. Even blu-ray doesn't have that much true 7 channel audio. Fifth, small speakers are not suitable for medium to large rooms, and two subs may be overkill in a small room.
But if you really want to go that way sell the Bose and move up to some true audio speakers. See the link for some recommended models at a range of prices. Note Bose are NOT on the list.
