A:AnswerWhile Bose do not manufacture any amplifiers for this application, the Acoustimass 10 V is compatible with amps/receivers rated 10-200 W per channel, 4-8 ohms.
A:AnswerIf you have a 1200sf theater room I would not recommend this system. If you have a area of 600-800sf set aside for your theater and the speakers are placed properly it should work well. Keep in mind you will still need a receiver/amplifier to power the smaller speakers. The sub is the only thing that is powered.
