Has anyone used Bose AM5 speakers for surrounds?
I have an AM5 system which I use as a 2nd system with my gaming computer. I'm thinking of adding a pair of surround speakers to my Montis system and I reckon I could make better use of the Bose speakers.
Pros: small, discrete, easy to install, well made, they're inexpensive and I already own them so I don't have to buy another pair of speakers!
Cons: Well... I've heard all of the anti Bose sentiment out there, and I don't really care about that. Just purely on sound, I wonder if the difference in tonal quality will matter. At the end of the day, they're only going to make some noise at the back during movies.
I've just added a motorised 110 inch cinemascope projection screen to my system and I thought I would have a play with surround sound to compliment my new purchase. I will add a budget HT receiver to drive the back channels and provide HT processing if decide to try HT. I don't intend replacing my 2 channel system - only adding another dimension for movies.
Any thoughts?
