Two Questions...


I have my mind set on the Bose Acoustimass 16 Home Entertainment Speaker System...

...the "flagship 6.1-channel speaker system" from Bose.

First question, are these worth the price tag? Is there anything else that compares to these speakers? Am I just paying for the name? Are these the best currently in the market? Give me the run down.

Second question, will the Denon AVR-486S: 7.1 CH Home Theater Receiver be good enough to take full advantage of the Bose speaker system?

The speakers are compatible with A/V receivers and amplifiers rated from 10-200 watts per channel, rated from 4 to 8 ohms. The Denon puts out 75 watts per channel.

none my friend, mentioning BOSE in here will get you hung! LOL. Seriously, I started my audio quest the same way. Good luck and don't buy the bose.
I was considering bose and decided to get a 7.1 JBL Northridge set up. E80 front E35 center E250 sub and e10 surrounds. Sounds awesome for HT. Unless your useing your system for critical listening, most systems in this forum are not worth spending the extra money on for just watching movies.
BOSE home theater systems are for people who could never be bothered to set the clock on their VCR

It's better than nothing for people who want something, and can't be bothered!
Check out Anthony Gallo Acoustics speakers for a full range of colors and finishes that please the eyes as well as the ears! Bose produces an adequate product, but for the money, you can do much better, my friend...
