Almost any model from Denon's new lineup.

here is a link to Denon

I have a 4310ci they retail for $1999.00 but I bought mine for $1299

A good rule of thumb is your receiver and your speakers should cost about the same.

other brands are:
Yamaha = pretty good
Onkyo = high failure rate
Sony = good quality but so so sound
Integra = same as Onkyo
Marantz = ok sound but so so quality

I should probably not point out that most Audiophiles look down upon the Bose corporation.

Bose was the first to introduce the satellite / subwoofer system to the market back in the early 80's and has a big presence in professional audio. However their design does not produce neither crisp highs nor substantial lows. the basics of audio are that sound is produced by moving air, the more air you move the more sound. Bose has definitly found a way to "cheat" by utilizing both forward and rearward motion of the cone by encosing it in their " accoustimass" module but many of the frequencies required for true clarity are merely lost due to the drivers inability to create them.

If you choose a receiver such as one from the Denon line they have a feature called "Audyssey" Audyssey uses a microphone to calculate room acoustics as well as to apply equalization to help make up for what the speaker isn't producing enough of.

Now usually when you disrespect Bose you always get someone upset and having sold Bose myself for YEARS I would only argue take a grill off. Instead of a high quality tweeter or woofer you will generally find a cheap paper component.

There is a purpose to me going off in a tangent about Bose. IF you are considering replacing your receiver because you feel that its not driving the speakers to your liking or maybe isn't "clear" enough then unfortunately my diagnosis isn't that you need a more powerful receiver but better speakers.

The purpose of upgrading a receiver should be more to get updated surround processing, better video distribution, multi room audio video etc..Unfortunatly unless you are trading up from a 80's low end: Pioneer, Technics, Kenwood, Sherwood or Sony the sound improvement won't be that great.

Sorry but hope that helps

I'm trying to hookup some Bose Series 6 speakers to a Denon Receiver and an Outlaw 5000 power amp. Can I still get surround sound without a separate surround sound processor?

No you can't. The AI Answer Bot Raja Azeen is incorrect in his guess. The Bose Accoustimass has a surround sound processor, but you are only using the speakers. The Denon receiver is collecting the signal and that is already an amplifier and then you are pushing it into the Outlaw amp and pushing that signal further and into your poor speakers. Stereo is the best you will get through 4 speakers but not the phased processing that you should get.

Hello there! I have an 8-10 yr old Bose Accoustimass 10 speaker system connected to an Onkyo TX-DS595 receiver. After moving and setting up my system the Bass Module has almost no base coming out although...

What is your crossover setting set at?
If it is set at 40 HZ, this would explain weak bass; as that Bose system sends ~120HZ down to the sub.

I reccomend checking the crossover setting to 120 or 100; with all speakers to small.

You may need to increase the db setting on your sub as well......

Good Luck.

Unable to receive optimum output. The bass is totally flat !

Hi, ok the Bose Acoustimass III system consists of two small cube speakers and one subwoofer unit called the Acoustimass bass module. If the subwoofer stops working, three points can be the cause of the failure. The Bose Acoustimass III is a passive system, meaning the speakers do not power themselves, but instead are connected to a receiver or amplifier. Thus, the amplifier, the speaker between the amplifier and the subwoofer, or the subwoofer itself could be the issue.

Things You'll Need:

* Amplifier
* Speaker cable
* Extra subwoofer


Instructions


Disconnect the speaker cable from the back of the Bose Accoustimass bass module and connect it to a subwoofer that is known to be working. If the subwoofer works, the bass module needs to be replaced.


Disconnect the speaker cable from the back of the receiver or amplifier you are using and from the back of the subwoofer in Step 1.


Connect a speaker cable that is known to be working between the back of the receiver or amplifier and the back of the Accoustimass module. If the module starts working, then the cable was the issue.


Disconnect the speaker cable from Step 3 from the back of the amplifier or receiver, then connect the cable to the subwoofer port on the back of an amplifier or receiver that is known to be working. If the subwoofer works, the receiver was the issue. If the subwoofer still does not work, verify that the speaker cable is in the subwoofer port of the receiver/amplifier and that the cable is connected securely to the subwoofer.



If you think you did the connection properly,Fine... If not you can use the manual from the below link and know how to connect it properly..

Dont have accoustimass can i substitute

Bose is specific about how speakers are designed and how the seperate units are connected. It is easy to damage a Bose speaker that is suposed to be connect to a base reflex unit. The base speakers filter out the low frequency that will destroy the small speakers, and speakers that are too large will damage the base unit.
These units can be mixed together only in certain ways, none of which Bose will aporove or honor warranty if you violate the terms of use. Bose systems in the home theater market receivers are specific, and cam damage the amplifiers if you try to mix other speakers with the system.

Error code 10 during sound calibration

Please ensure that you have turned on the Accoustimass module, this can cause communication errors when calibrating. Also check that all connections are correctly plugged in as if one is not quite sat right this may give the error, just try unplugging them and plug them back in.
