hello everyone. My grandma has a set of bose series one speakers (with sub woofer) and the remote as well as that little thing that connects to the cable.

I would like to know if those series 1 items would work with a bose v20 or v30 receiver?


I have read things on the site before and have found you guys helpful. I also know yall hate bose but its what grandma has and she likes it. I can't break grandma's heart and tell her different so please no bose bashing if you can help it.


thanks for any help or advice in combining the 2 systems in advance

The answer, as usual, is a resounding NO! I have looked at all three systems, and as usual with Bose you can not cross systems. If your series one has failed, then nothing is any use any more.

If she likes Bose, she will need a new complete system.

We dislike Bose for many good reasons, this is one of many. Bose does not just play with other equipment, but does not play with itself.

I would be honest with grandma and get her out of the Bose environment at this time.

Welcome to the forum!

Before you break any news to your grandma, I'd like to take a look. First, though, would you help me understand exactly which systems you're talking about? Are these Lifestyle Series 1 speakers that you'd like to use with a Lifestyle V20 or V30 control unit? Also, why are you looking to do that - is it to add DVD or blu-ray playback?
