Before you buy a receiver for your Bose speakers, make sure that the receiver has convenient control options like a scene button shortcut that anyone can use, especially people who don’t know how to operate a receiver system. Some home theatre receivers come with remote controls with options for switching sources and dialing in settings. Wireless technology This impedance plus phase angle draws not just more "power" from an amplifier but more current and current (amperage) is just what most HT receivers cannot do well. Buying more "power" in your amplifier does not in any way ensure you will also gain more amperage capacity. There is no such thing as a "6 Ohm amplifier". There are only amplifiers which have higher degrees of capacity to feed current into a low impedance load over longer time periods. You are correct when you say the impedance rating on the amplifier matters and any amplifier which implies it cannot drive low impedance loads should be overlooked unless you are absolutely certain the load you are intending to attach to the ammplifier is a very benign load (at all frequencies) when combining the actual lowest impedance point and the electrical phase angle; https://www.ecoustics.com/electronics/forum/home-audio/628565.html While doing this, it’s worthwhile to have your receiver’s impedance in mind. The two go hand-in-hand. If you want to connect 6-ohms Bose speakers into an 8-ohm receiver, bear in mind that you’ll be putting far too much ”load” for your system to manage. How Should I Match Bose Speakers with Other Receivers? When you talk about speaker sensitivity, it just means the ability of your speakers to turn the electrical signals from a receiver into sound. Speakers that have a high sensitivity tend to be more efficient than others, so speakers with 90 dB and above have the best quality. You should also think about the receiver’s impedance. Impedance If you have an older generation of Bose Cube Speakers, you will be able to use them with a new stereo receiver. Bose speakers are designed with forward compatibility, so pairing them with a new stereo system will likely maximize the sound quality of the speaker system. Do I Need an Amplifier for Bose Cube Speakers?

The Sony STR-DH790, when combined with Bose speakers, can truly help secure a cinema-like experience in your home. It supports 4K HDR and outputs elite sound quality. Among its other key features include: Pairing and playing is also super easy from such a straightforward Bluetooth speaker, and we love how easily we can start listening to music within seconds. What you'll immediately notice is how vocals take centre stage, so if you’re a podcast fan, you’ll love the Flex, with speech coming through cleanly and clearly with plenty of detail and tone. You can use Bose speakers with other receivers if you use a Bose speaker adapter. However, you must keep in mind specifications such as impedance and speaker sensitivity.

You can use Bose speakers with other receivers provided you can find a way to convert the special Bose speaker plug into a standard one to allow you to use standard speaker cables. The unique design will not limit you from using these high-value speakers with your receiver of choice after converting it.

I also hope that this does not fire up the Bose bashers and spark another debate over which speakers are better - I have noticed that every forum thread that mentions Bose has at least one comment about how rubbish they are. Let's face it, it all comes down to personal choice, so let that person make their choice. HSU VTF-2 MK4 hybrid subwoofer. Freq. response with 1 port open - 18 Hz; 2 ports open - 25 Hz; crossover os 30-90 Hz but bypassable. Most of today’s receivers are compatible with Bose speakers. However, before connecting them, you should study the impedance, referring to the speaker’s resistance to current flow. In most cases, this measurement ranges between four and eight ohms. The average sub can produce: 20Hz to 150Hz The average front mains produce: 50hz to 20,000Hz Meaning the LifeStyle was missing lower bass frequencies, the 'gap' However, if the sound of a speaker is muddy and the highs are indistinguishable from the lows, then you should definitely avoid that speaker system. PriceDo not take this as "Bose bashing", this is meant only to clear up some technical points which you have wrong. Speaker selection is about personal preferences, I have no problem with that and I have no problem if Bose is your solution to your personal needs and desires. However, speaker selection should also, IMO, be made with a modicum of knowledge about how the system - amplifier and speakers combined - will operate. In your case, you've misconstrued many items which are important to the total results of a system's operation.
