Title: Receiver for Bose Acoustimass
Post by: mpbtejada on Jul 09, 2017 at 03:37 PM: Hi! I'm inheriting an old Bose Acoustimass 5.1 lifestyle system from my dad. I know the speakers and Subwoofer still works but the original music center receiver has stopped working already. I'm thinking of having it repaired. Or can I use a different and more modern receiver instead? What do you think? Thanks.

I'm using onkyo now, before Harman Kardon. Mostly movies.

Onkyo to connect to a Bose speaker system?

I've heard pala that the powered subwoofer needs the original receiver unit to operate it. The satellites can be connected just fine. Can anyone confirm this? Thanks!
