Denon AVR-X1300 and Bose Acoustimass 6 speakers

[gkondal]

Hello Everyone

Thanks for your time to begin with. I have a Bose Acoustimass 6 speakers setup inside my false cieling wired and working. Changing speakers is very hard; infeasible for the time being.

I am planning to buy the Denon AVR-X1300 AV Receiver - as my onkyo (older one) has stopped working.

a) If I route the Denon AVR output via the sub bose module - will I be completely losing the output of Denon?
b) If it will diminish the clarity - how much will it do so?
c) If I have to connect the speakers (jewel box speakers) directly will they work?

Thank you
Ganesh

Going from Onkyo to Denon will not effect the sound much. The speakers will work directly with the AVR, but they will not sound the same. They are intended to be run through the bass module. They may actually sound worse if run directly from the AVR.
