Compatibility Help!

[ssanders]

Hello!
I am employed by someone wishing to set up an audio system, however, they are quite technologically impaired, and er, likes to spend money. They have thus far purchased:
a Bose Wave Radio I with CD Changer
a set of Bose 201 speakers
a set of speakers from the 3-2-1 Bose line, without the sub woofer.
They wish to play music from the Bose Wave to the other speakers, except the other speakers are non-self-powered, and the Wave doesn't push nearly enough power to run them. What I am looking for in advice is on what my steps should be to get these working together. I need a receiver or amplifier, however I don't want to advise them to purchase the wrong piece of hardware. I am looking at the Sony STR DH190, however my dilemma is in getting the 3-2-1 speakers to work with it. Are there adapters for the sub plug into into, say, a 2 prong RCA cable? Any advice appreciated! Thank you.

Welcome to AH.

Not sure how others may be able to help you, or not, but have you tried calling Bose tech?
It may not be possible.
Interesting how people just buy stuff and expect it to merge together without knowing anything.
Probably didn't ask any questions.

Good luck with Bose Tech Support. They're a contractor in The Philippines now. I know this because my son used to sit at a desk here in Massachusetts doing it, then Bose decided he and 349 of his coworkers were too expensive and shipped all their jobs halfway around the world.

Best thing to do is get a local dealer to bring in a complete Sonos system for a demo. That'll fix it.
