the price is for the pair? I want to connect them to a pioneer receiver 5.1, do I need the bose ac-2 ?

Yes. The AC-2 is needed to connect the wiring from the amp to the speakers.

Its a push. Go with the one substantially cheaper. Dont consider any surround receiver from another manufacturer.

You need the Bose AC-2 adapter for each cube. It takes bare speaker wire (16ga max I believe) screws the wire down with a small Phillips head and than plugs into the back of the cubes. I went to the Bose store and they just gave me all I needed for free. If you don't have a store near you, Amazon sells them for $3. Good luck.

I was debating between the Pioneer 919 and Onkyo 607 too. Ater owning an Onkyo for 25 years (and still going strong) I thought i'd end up with the Onkyo, but I ended up purchasing the Pioneer 919 due to the following:- I can connect my iPod touch without having to purchase a $100 dock as with most other receivers- slightly higher power, slightly lower THD- great price ($349 at Newegg about a week ago)I haven't hooked it up yet (need to wait until xmas). Also bought a pair of Polk Monitor 70s for only $170 each, also at Newegg.

I have a pioneer 7.2 receiver and they are awesome speakers. Dont need the other 2 at all

My 2 cents - If you just fried up the Bose 3-2-1, just get a new receiver and you should be able to use the speakers in 3-2-1 mode. ORGo to BJ's or Samsclub. My local BJ's has a Bose 3-2-1 or an Bose 3-2-1 like system with Bose speakers and Onkyo receiver (2.1channel only), for 400 dollars.

If you only have the Bose Acoustimass 3 III subwoofer, it must be connected to a receiver, any brand, can be stereo or 5.1, but you will only get stereo sound, not 5.1, You will need two sets of wires from the two speakers to your receiver, and two sets of wires from the two speakers to the Bose sub.I think I have the four sets of wires, that I can list on Amazon, if interested, let me know, or they nay be some listed already, you need total of four sets Bose 20" speaker wires, they have bare wires at one end, and RCA connection at the other end.

I connected to a Bose Companion Speaker system. I have also connected it to my amplifier and stereo speakers. Both I owned already. If you think about the Phorus like your iPhone or laptop, how would you connect those at your house today to play to speakers? Phorus also has speakers you can buy but not included with this.

We have this paired with a model from onkyo. They are solid and can get a good deal on amazon. I think ours was about $250 or so.

Contact Bose. They have it in stock. Or check Amazon, they have the Bose RC-PWS II for $30. I have both, and they work fine in my system.

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.

Depends on the bose model you buy. The first model only linked with wifi the sound link 2 only links with Bluetooth!

Yes, these can be connected to any system, does not have to be a Bose System. You may need the special speaker connection adapter, however, which you can also purchase from Amazon: Bose AC-2 Bare Speaker Wire Adapter/Connector - Black

I just bought the speakers and paired them with Denon AVR-S500BT; awesome. The price is similar to Onkyo but Denon has the auto calibration tool. The setup is also very easy, just another option for you to consider.Either way, it should work.

I have older Bose speakers, high end. Quite satisfied with them. So far I haven't gotten into spending on fancy cables of any brand. Penny stocks might be a better bet!

The pair I had didn't work very well and I returned them. They are a discontinued model. If I remember right, the pair comes with an aux cord to hard wire them to your system, but it was eh.

HI Sir, Just little inquiry about the product itself. I have BOSE Acoustimass 5 Series 3 i wonder if it's capable of handling the receiver itself. Since it has a subwoofer stated 10-200W/Channel, 4-8 OHMS may i know if it's compatible with the BOSE and receiver itself. Thanks a lot!
