I have Bose acoustimas5 now and need a center channel speaker... Do you think this would pair well? I bought a Bose Jewel cube center speaker �

The Definitive Technology center channel will sound great and will allow for dialogue to be easily understood. You will also find that it provides much clearer treble and punchy upper bass than the Bose. You will probably notice the limitations of the Bose speakers. You'll probably find yourself wanting to ditch the Bose and get a pair of Definitive Tech ProMonitor 800's or similar :). In general though, you should "timber match" a center channel with the main channel speakers. The Definitive Tech will sound different than the Bose. Better, but different.

Yes I think this will work well with the Bose speakers!!This center speaker is a very good all around speaker!!

It took some work initially, which it shouldn't for a speaker at this price point. This and the poor sound quality lead me to send it back. Get the Bose Mini or JBL Charge. It won't look as cool but it'll sound better and you'll save a couple bucks.

It appears this center speaker is now a discontinued model from Sony. I've checked about 10 sites that should offer it and they are all out of stock, including Amazon. Sony will normally come out with a newer model, but I'm assuming you want one NOW. Good luck with your search.

Yes, it should work fine as a center channel speaker. The high notes are clear and sharp, but it's a small speaker, so it doesn't have a lot of bass. If you don't have decent sized front speakers, you might need a subwoofer to accent the bass sounds.

You connect any speaker you want to the system, as for the center channel to me it doesn't matter, later on you can get better speakers for the system.I hope this makes since and helps you out

I have a similar sized room. It is fine though I agree the box is larger than I anticipated. I love the sound and it pairs well with Bose floor, Polk inwall and a name brand sw speakers.

Yes. I have this Bose Acoustimass as a Center Channel Speaker on a Denon A/V Receiver with Line Level Speaker Terminal Outputs (speaker Wire type with the Red and Black Spring Connector.) Using 16 or 18 Gauge Speker wire. No fancy connectors needed.

No, bose jewel speakers are designed to connect through bose lifestyle or acoustimass subwoofer. If you connect directly to your receiver, the sound will be flat (no base) and the speaker will blow eventually.

Be careful, All units are not compatable. We ahd to call bose to do a match. (had to send one back- older model)So I would suggest call bose first they are very helpful.

I see that the ohms and amps of the receiver meets the speaker requirements, so I dont see an issue with the combination. The speakers are good for any low end setup, check out others such as Bose, Definitive technology,Energy around the same price range. Listen to sound from these speakers, the preference varies from person to person, some look for low frequency specifically, some look for overall performance...it depends!

It sounds great! I listen to alot of Rap and HipHop music, the bass works well for my taste. I've yet to hear any sound distortion at all! Does it or will it sound as good as a Bose, I can't really answer that question cause I never really heard the Bose portable speaker system before. But I think this was worth my money! I like the sound!

Would be a great setup in a small to medium room. The es series center speaker matches perfectly. Set your receiver speaker setting to "small" so they won't be overwhelmed with bass they can't produce.

You need a multi channel 5/1 or higher receiver which would have a connection on the back for a center channel speaker. A stereo 2 channel receiver would not have that connection.

I think it will "work" but center channel speakers are designed mainly for dialogue. As such, they are specialized and somewhat one trick ponies. I would buy two good front speakers.

Well as indicated in the description, it is indeed a center channel speaker. Good luck and enjoy it!

Henry, I'm a little confused by your question. Yes you can hookup the Bose center speaker to your Sony A/V receiver; and , yes you can hookup your Bose speaker to your Acoustimass module, however if you are capable of powering your Acoustimass module from your Sony receiver, why then wouldn't you hookup the center channel speaker directly to the Acoustimass module? I would believer this would add more continuity and integrity to the power driven to your center speaker.
