I would do a search for Bose in the speaker forum before you buy them. You are buying a name not the sound with Bose. If you like satellite type set-ups, i would consider Definitive Technologies way before Bose. Do yourself a favor .....search the forum. I'm no millitant anti-Bose person.-Sam
If you want to make things simple, get the OUtlaw Audio 1050 receiver. It has an adjustable crossover which will let you select 250Hz, perfect for Bose cubes. You'll have to make sure that your sub is in the front, as close as possible to center because at 250Hz, a sub will surely be directional.Also, you don't want to go any bigger than 10" for the sub because even at 100Hz, most subs are struggling. Still, this is a decent stop-gap measure, and you'll most likely enjoy the Outlaw receiver even after you upgrade the speakers.
Alternatively, you could use the Bose sub as-is, and add the Vleo. on top of that. Still, run the Bose sub/sat combo as "small" and let the Velo. do all the bass, as it is much more equipped to do bass than the Bose sub.
Good luck.

I doubt many folks here would endorse blose speakers(pun intended). However, the receiver and sub will probably get some kudos. Have you listened to the bose ?
Yep i've heard bad things about them but i own a current
"Lifestyle 8 System" that i bought 2 years back..now i cant use the subwoofer and the music center for 5.1 so i need a new amp and sub..
Would it work though?
How would i go about stoppin the low frequencies going to the cubes? And to redirect all bass to the sub??
Not sure how you can manage that...but from what I know from other posts on bose, you really aren't getting low freq's to the cubes anyway! May want to repost your how-to question in the speaker forum. Best of luck.
