bose acoustimass 10


I can get the "Bose Acoustimass 10" system for free with airmiles. Even at no cost I am hesitant because of what I'm reading on the forums. It would be used with a projector for movies in a room 12' x 18' with a 9' ceiling. I have a Denon AVR 1403 receiver. Any advice? thanks

I have an Acustamas 10 in a small sun room that is a challenge for surround sound in many ways (long and narrow, 4 sets of triple windows and outside walls). They do create surround effects and make movies more entertaining. The bass module is well intergrated into the system. Beware of the demonstrations at the Bose store. What you are listening to is many thousands of dollars worth of acustic engineering.
The speakers are tiny, cheap drivers that cannot possibly produce HiFi sound. If size of speakers is not a great issue, you might do better with PSB Alpha B-1/s and their sub for about the same or less money, and use your miles for something else. IMHO
