Will these work with regular AV receivers such as Yamaha or Onkyo or does it have to be used with a Bose system?

I use mine with a regular receiver. I just had to adapt the wires at the receiver.

these are not wireless... you will have to run the wires from the radio to the back of the speaker.... i do not know if it will work for bose sound systems

Thanks for the response. I have a ONKYO SR505 and am connected like you are. With this A/V unit I must use the audio optical cable if I want surround audio to the speakers. I can use the HDTV speakers to get HDMI quality sound which defeats the purpose of having a surround system.

Please google it. I think you might find something on avsforum.com. If I remember, it has been addressed or will be shortly. Not sure if this applies to specific Onkyo models.

I don't really know, I asked a rep. if I could just buy a console and use my Bose speakers from my Yamaha receiver and he said no the speakers are matched to the console, so you might want to contact a Bose store and asked a rep. about your's. Hope this helped.

It would work, however I would advise against this product as I had to return 2 of them due to poor quality. I ended up with an Onkyo which is not only better sounding but structurally far superior.

Bose is a different beast to the rest of the audio world!90% of the time you have to use Bose stuff to work with Bose stuff.I suggest you contact the manufacturing people of the devices ans see what they say...sorry

Sorry for the late response but yes, the way you just said it is correct. Due to the special connection of the Bose subwoofer, it cannot be used with any other receivers.

Sorry, I don't know for sure. It does use standard connections, though so I would assume it works. Do you have a Bose outlet in your area?

From the Bose web page: *Designed for use with your stereo or home theater receiver So--yes, you do... unless... Of course, your flat screen output might have enough wattage to drive acceptable sound from your Bose speakers, but it's likely that you won't have enough volume without annoying levels of noise from the low-powered amp in your flat panel's audio wiring. If your TV has outputs for "external speaker" you might make those work to drive the Bose. With just a "line out" or "audio out" jack you may get some sound, but you probably need an amplifier or receiver to be happy. Good news--those are incredibly cheap used these days in the homes of baby boomers everywhere and your local Goodwill...

You can use these with ANY receiver. If your receiver is not bluetooth capable you can make it compatible with a bluetooth adapter. Another alternative is a compact bluetooth receiver like this one: Bluetooth Audio Receiver/Amplifier - Model 300 Black

They do require an amplifier. Whether they would work with a Bose amp depends on the amp - is it only designed to work with Bose speakers or can it work with other speakers as well? The key spec is usually the amp's rating to work with speakers within a certain impedance range (e.g. 8 ohms). Also check the wattage ratings - you don't want a wide mismatch between the amp and speakers. Too strong an amp can blow the speakers at high volumes. Too weak an amp will lead to poor sound.

Not using a soundbar. Using a Yamaha RX-V375 AV receiver with Bose 701 speakers.

Any consumer AV receiver or plain old stereo receiver will work fine. Yamaha works great. Costco (when they have em) and Amazon sell Yamaha AVR and receivers at great prices. If you are using them outside from your main set up, just make sure you get one that has A and B speakers. If using as rear surround for 5.1 it won't have that but, you won't need it. If you do, look for a 7.1 system with AB.
