My new setup needs help!

What is your budget for speakers? One thing with changing the front speakers is they will not match in timbre to the other Bose speakers. I am not a big fan of Bose speakers personally, but you can get this entire set for $300 and they are amazingly good for the price:

They are small, extremely inexpensive and will be superior to your Bose setup and matched all around.



Happy Holidays!

No prob!



Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I agree with the above poster who mentioned that Bose is not very good. Now I must tell you that I have purchased three pairs of Bose 301's in the 70's and 80's, and they do a respectable job as long as they are not pushed too hard. The Bose center channel speakers are terrible, in my opinion. My dad has one and it is hard to make out voices and it has no "oomph" to it. Bose always tried to make tiny speakers do things that they can't, and that problem is evident in their center channel speakers. As you know, movies in Dolby Digital or DTS can have some extremely loud scenes with explosions, gunfire, etc. You need speakers that are up to this challenge. I personally like Definitive Technology, and have the BP2002 powered towers, along with the CLR2002 center and BP2x surrounds and a PF15tl sub. The system easily handles whatever I throw at it, but it cost a few grand total. Definitive makes some decent smaller speakers as well. Maybe if there is a dealer near you, you might want to take a listen and judge for yourself.
