Here's the one I got for it. Works great and sounds amazing. Onkyo TX-SR604 7.1 Channel A/V Receiver (Black) (Discontinued by Manufacturer) by Onkyo http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000HD7FGM/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_qGeztb0N5VY8Y

Onkyo provides a great line of receiver/ amplifiers that blend well with Bose systems.

It sounds more like you have a connection issue, maybe the wrong ports on the receiver going to your woofer. I have an Onkyo TX-NR1030 connected to Bose Acoustimass 10 Series IV in the game room, and in my living room I have a Yamaha Aventage RX-A3040 with the same speaker system Acoustimass 10 Series...both sound very nice. Usually when you have a "no bass" issue, it is either connected wrong or the Bose amp could be damaged.

I have an SVS sub paired with mine. I use them primarily for home theater, but I listen to music as well. They sound really good together. I've never really used the speakers alone. I do not think it's too much bass. If so, you could always dial down your sub a bit.

I believe mine has a port for the subwoofer but I don't use one. You can find a pic of the back of the receiver by searching for it.

I am using a Pioneer 7-channel receiver whose model number is VSX 816 I bought 7 years ago. These Bose speakers run well with this receiver. If you want more bass, you can buy an additional sub woofer for perfect sound.

Bill, I doubt anything "went wrong", but the Yamaha may not deal with potential impedance differences between your main speakers and your sub. Luckily, Yamaha allows you to set up levels for each set of speakers (front, center, back, sub) from within the setup menus. Using the remote, do the following: setup -&gt; speaker -&gt; level -&gt; scroll down to "sub" and raise the level (default is flat (0db)) until you like how it sounds. hope this helps, gfd

I dont know about the reciever, but any reciever you take, things i look for is -see whether all channels work-speaker resistance match with that of reciver, usually 6-8 ohm impedance-channel output exceeds that of speaker watts, under powering will blow the speaker.MLT-2 is really a good one! till my subwoofer started making poping sound -- which Amazon/Martin Logan together replace with no cost to me.

The receiver you have indicated has all the speaker connections to accomodate the speakers you mention. The speaker wire which comes with the set is pretty pathetic, so I would suggest investing in a spool of 16 ga wire, 50-100 feet depending on your needs. The wire for the subwoofer is on the smallish side, but it seems to work OK.

I would say any subwoofer you would like to use would work (as the subwoofer connects to the receiver regardless of the speakers) but as the other answers say, some may be better than others.

I bought my TX-SR806 on 03/16/09 for 639.00. I was watching prices for awhile and finally dropped the hammer. It seems I finally made a good decision. I am now reading the manual. That is always fun. I ran the Audyssey set up and received no error messages, so I suppose it was done correctly. I am not really happy with the bass of my system. I bought a Polk RM95 5 pack and the PSW111 subwoofer. Still studying the Polk manual on subwoofer hook up. Charles

I recommend a good heavy duty speaker wire with banana plugs. Search Amazon in speaker wire with banana plug ends. On the sub, I use a Yamaha 10" which is somewhat overkill for the Polk speakers. I've been using juat the two Polk speakers on their own and the bass from these speakers is crazy. I turned off the sub since the bass was too much with both.

you going to need a reciever to connect the subwoofer, but pleases safe your money don`t waisted buying this Pyle system I try to put a new review about this product because those speaker claim to support 150 watt and is not i blow 2 of the front speaker with a sony reciever 7.1 at only 40% of the volumen , to replease it was another problem the company in en new york and the customer services bad they want to charge me 1,400 $ for 2 speakers and after back and form with them the charge $ 25 each and blow again so safe your money and buy something else.

Vikas, you don't mention what you're using for receiver or surrounds. My setup is approximately the same give or take a foot and the bass is not problem. I'm using the Def Tech 1000 surrounds and a Pioneer SC-1523 Receiver.

I am using a Polk Audio RM-7 "8 inch powered sub woofer. My room is only 12X15 and my wife hates it! She is not a fan of a lot of bass. But when she's not around, and I turn it up, it is more than enough. The Yamaha, it seems to me, has less bass output in its normal configuration than my old Onkyo system, but you can adjust it easier with the Yamaha. I would think any good name Sub would do fine.

I would recommend a sub and surround speakers. I use a sub and it sounds great. I also got the matching center channel which is awesome too.

I purchased a separate subwoofer to compliment the speaker. I am totally satisfied with this system; the sound is amazing! I recommend this system without reservation.

Please consider getting a receiver with a Sub-out. The sound quality will be improved beyond your wildest dreams.

This is a powered subwoofer, meaning it has its own built-in amplifier, so the ohms don't matter. Your receiver should have a "subwoofer pre-out" or similar output in its rear-panel speaker terminals. Connect these terminals to the subwoofer "line in" inputs using RCA jacks. Try the speaker in several locations to see what works best. It's generally best to avoid corners, which can make the bass sound "boomy". Remember, too, that you're going to need a separate source of a/c power to plug the speaker into.
