Denon + bose

[bosefriendly]

I'm under 1200 for sub, center and 4 height satellites. The Bose cubes can't quite blend the mids.

So what will the mains and surrounds be then? Which RSL sub?

I have a pair of d-9’s from ‘89 or ‘90 I think. They were loud af, and fun for parties. Seemed to take just about anything I threw at them. The ones you’re looking at will definitely be better than the cubes they’ll replace. I would try and do a package deal from RSL personally, as I think their speakers are overall better than the cv’s, but they will cost more too. Iirc Sony has a speaker comparable to the CV. For two hundred bucks a piece, you probably won’t be blown away, but compared to the cubes, you will absolutely notice a big difference. I wouldn’t feel bad about trying them.

RSL has a couple great deals for 5.1 packages. Didn't even think about it. Reduce my budget by 20%. Thanks for the lightbulb (cartoon style).

Yeah realized that after.....fwiw you call them rears but in 5.1 they (surrounds) should be more to the sides altho some rooms may not work well to accommodate. Where are yours?

I'd think not just for your heights but also potentially for your mains/surrounds....altho your remaining Bose were some of the better speakers they produced (and haven't since).

So, CG23M 5.1 arriving tomorrow from RSL. I'll swap everything out over the weekend and report back. Went to a local av showroom and listened to a comparable setup. If this is even close.... gonna be a good time.
