I have a Bose Acoustimass 15 5.1 system, circa 2001. Can I swap the center vertical cube with this one which looks better?

Yes, it should work fine as a substitute. You might have to adjust the speaker volumes some in order to get a fully balanced sound system, but that should not be a difficult task.

Look at the pictures and check the placement of your speakers. I actually returned mine because it was incorrect. You can also message the seller.

Same answer as others. Dont see the point in changing them, what you could do is buy a subwoofer that would give you an incredebly sound. Good luck!

Did you ever find an alternative to the BB2001? Funny, I just bought the im600 today, and it still had the slip in it for the BB2001. I would like to buy a subwoofer for it though, so let me know :) That goes for anybody reading this, too!

These speakers produce phenomenal sound quality. They also have a wide range frequency response as well as ample power capacity. In regards to utilizing the speaker for a "center" channel, the question would be,, "Where are you mounting the speaker?". The speaker is designed for the ceiling and has somewhat of a "directional design" meaning it should be mounted to direct sound to the center of the audience. Consider when watching a movie, you would expect the speech audio to be in sync with your viewing direction, from the TV. If the speaker is mounted in the ceiling, depending on your sensitivity, it may be somewhat distracting the dialogue is coming from some where other than the actors mouths. The bottom line is, it really depend on the dynamics and acoustic characteristic of the room your installing it in. I would suggest, if you have a set of 6, hook one up and see if you are satisfied with the position of the speaker and the sound quality it produces. Again, it depends on the sensitivity of the individual. Personally I opted to install the Bose 191 speaker for the "center" as well as the front left and right channel in the surround system. Hope this will help,, I am completely happy with the quality of the Yamaha speakers I've install.

I tried to search for pictures of the speakers trying to see how they look from behind but i couldnt find any. If you want you can send me a picture of your speakers from the back and I'll compare them to the mounts/brackets and see if they will work. My email is fredward321@gmail.com

I would contact Audio-Technic directly and ask about it. This website sells them too, but I would go there as a last resort. http://www.audiocubes2.com/category/Headphone+Accessories/product/Audio-Technica_Replacement_3D_Wing_for_ATH-A900,A500.html

It shouldn't make any difference. They'll probably come in separate boxes either way. Get whatever is most economical. I got mine used/reconditioned. Who knows if they came off the same line. I absolutely love them though. So many new dimensions of sonic pleasure. You won't be disappointed.

No, correctly installed, there should be no change in sound quality. Be sure to observe correct polarity and use only 1 pair of terminals on each speaker for the left or right channels. Be aware that you are not utilizing one channel on each speaker.

I cannot say for sure, but I use a Bose Acoustimass with our Marantz. I just don't know about versions. Ours is at least 20 years old so I just can't verify it is the same architecture as the series you referenced.

Yes, with nothing else to buy. I bought a used Bose CineMate II system with the Articulated Array speakers (these are the speakers with the vents/openings on both sides of the front) (Not the GS speakers) this is also the system that comes with the small 4-button remote. I then bought the "Bose UFS-20 Universal Floor Stands (pair) - Black" to go with this system here on Amazon. They are absolutely perfect for this system. Also, I cannot believe the sound improvement with these stands as compared to setting the speakers on the table in front of the TV. Yes, the speakers actually sound better. If you have this system I would say that these speakers are mandatory. The speaker wire fits perfectly in the groove in the back to hide the wire. Very nice design. They are also at the perfect height. Do look at the instructions before putting this together and run the speaker wire through the base before putting the rest together.

Absolutely! That's what I upgraded from. I only had the Bose 2.1 version (no rear speakers). I was sceptical of the vizio sub because it was smaller than the Bose but it shakes the house. I had to turn it down. Lol. Plus it's a wireless sub and true 5.1 surround! I love it!

We set ours up from the beginning in the vertical and they have been a big improvement over not having a sound bar. Never having tried them horizontally, we can't give you accurate information on the comparison. Sorry.

In my experience with the Bose cubes, they receive their signals from the subwoofer of the Bose system, not directly from the receiver. This sub is not designed to work in that way, so I would have to say the cubes would not be working in the way they were designed to work. However, I have never tried to drive the Bose cube speakers directly from the receiver/amp. This is a GOOD sub, though.

If bose cubes have female, threaded inserts for a bolt to be securely inserted then they will work. I am aware of multiple bose cubes but not sure if any or all will work.

You Can mount the speaker horizontal for Center channel that's what I did just fine however you probably have to look inside the wall and your framing and probably reconfigure wall studs

My 2 cents - If you just fried up the Bose 3-2-1, just get a new receiver and you should be able to use the speakers in 3-2-1 mode. ORGo to BJ's or Samsclub. My local BJ's has a Bose 3-2-1 or an Bose 3-2-1 like system with Bose speakers and Onkyo receiver (2.1channel only), for 400 dollars.
