Old Bose Acousicmass replace for fix? Suggestions?

[musiclovinglizard]

Newbie here wanting advice

I have some old Bose Acousicmass speakers (each satellite has two little speakers on top of each other) in my living room as part of my music playing stereo. My system is from the 80s-90s with mixed parts. I currently have these Bose as speaker A, some JBL in wall as speaker B, the sub from the acousicmass and another powered sub, a speaker selector with individual volume control and a Teaq Eq. My receiver is a Denon. I only use this system for music. I have a separate Onyko system for my TV surround sound system.

I think my old Bose need to be replaced -- the sound isn't what it should be. The problem is, I have them mounted on small shelves in the corner of my room so I would like to replace them with something similar in size. Or can I open the up and replace just the internal speakers themselves.

So guys, what advice do you have for me?

Thanks in advance for helping me improve my music listening

Check out Orb Audio: http://www.orbaudio.com/

Also Cambridge Min 22: http://www.crutchfield.com/S-6l6HBr4Ybhj/p_779MIN22B/Cambridge-Audio-Minx-Min-22-Black.html

Both are considered better than Bose cubes, so you should get a good upgrade.

However, you should also change out the Acoustimass sub if you can.

Thanks, I will check out those speaker suggestions.

I figured if I replace the Bose, I won't be using it's sub. I do have another sub hooked up now.

It occurred to me the other thing you might look for if you can find some used on Ebay are the Energy V-Mini: http://www.energy-speakers.com/products/veritas/?sku=V-MINI-BS. If they'll fit the same spot, they are a better speaker than the Orbs or the Cambridge, IMO.
