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!!

This is an excellent choice for a center channel. As surrounds BIC has many other choices. I believe this speaker would not be adequate for surround duties as it is not only quite large but rather bright from a high frequency standpoint.

To my knowledge, you need the Bose Acoustimass (sub woofer) in order to have the Bose cubes work properly.

Thanks for the reply. I purchased a Series 6 pair(three years old) with eq on Craigs for little over a third of the Bose price as I couldn't justify paying $1400 for them. I don't have an amp with pre-out and am buying the HK 3490 to run them. I hope they sound better together.

hi chad, i ordered a complete set of bic acoustech speakers and enjoy the towers, center channel and the pl-66 rear surround. the sound is excellent if u have the right receiver to push every speaker.

Yes. I am using it with the Bose Premium Jewel Cube Hortz./Center Speaker and it works fine for hooking up bare speaker wires between the speaker and my receiver.

I am sorry, but do not no your type of speakers. I have 4 Bose 301's the older style big box Bose sub woofer, replaced Bose v10 center with Polk. Polk has larger speakers, pushes better sound, then Bose v10. I hate doing a mix, but main is still Bose, except switch out for Polk center. Also really depends on your amp. I have a Yamaha amp. It worked out, adjusted speakers doing sound test to set levels. For movies have center set higher vs music.

In my experience with the Bose cubes, they receive their signals from the subwoofer of the Bose system, not directly from the receiver. This sub is not designed to work in that way, so I would have to say the cubes would not be working in the way they were designed to work. However, I have never tried to drive the Bose cube speakers directly from the receiver/amp. This is a GOOD sub, though.

I found this speaker to be difficult to connect to Bluetooth and unreliable as to its functioning. I sent it back. I would say the same to you.

I am not sure if your bose speaker is compatible with it - search the web for an answer. If it is, you should observe the blue and red light blinking right after you plug it in and then it should be available/discoverable for pairing.

The thread size for the Bose ub-20 is made for the BOSE jewel cube speaker. Any other jewel type speaker you will probably have to make some kind of adjustment. I love mine!

Dear John,Great integrated amp and bookshelf speakers. I like the way you think! This will be an excellent match. Please let me know if I can be of any additional assistance.Regards,Eric CohenWorld Wide Stereo

the bose sound system cube is a better/louder quality.... but then you need to bring a solar charger or power source to keep it going. I sacrifice volume level for use-ability

while this speaker is designed for center channel use it will work fine on right or left channel, as long as the receiver is the same ohms. also the design of this speaker is primarily used for dialogue. this is a great speaker, but I do recommend using the best speaker for the use that you intend, be it dialogue or surround.

Yes, I recently added a center channel speaker to my existing 2 front speaker set up. I was running through RCA cables initially, but with the added channel, these are incompatible. I got the optical audio cable, hooked it to my receiver, but have been unable to get any sound whatsoever out of it.

Not sure. If back of your receiver has output for center channel then yes. Great center speaker. I've paired mine with Sony bookshelf speakers too.

Be aware of where your speakers are placed, the're not very big. They're pointed toward your body, not your ears. My speakers do not sound like a bose system but with the. Volume turned up all the way, even tho a little tinny, easily heard all over the room. Perhaps an earphone would help.
