The Bose 650 will easily connect the 4K video output of the Panasonic DB9000 to your 4K TV or projector. Where the Bose falls short, IMHO, is its inability to take advantage of the new 3D sound field technology found in Dolby Atmos and DTS-X. All 4K Blu-Ray discs contain Dolby Atmos or DTS-X. But to enjoy the 3D sound field (and what a joy it is!) you need an additional 4 speakers in the ceiling of your viewing room. My own speaker configuration is 7.2.4, which I built arouund a Yamaha CXA5200 central preamplifier/processor along with the necessary amplification to drive the 7 Bower & Wilkins surround speakers plus the 4 B & W speakers in the ceiling. I bought the $999 DB9000 because it interfaces nicely both in build quality and in functionality with the rest of my system. Conversely, the Bose has a 5.1 sound field and does not support Dolby Atmos or DTS-X. If you love the Bose, there are many less expensive 4K Blu-Ray players that can fill a 5.1 sound field and provide excellent 4K video. Now, if you are considering a Onkyo receiver and a Klipsch 5- or 7-speaker surround system, the DB9000 might be a good fit. The Onkyo RZ5100 is, to my knowledge, the only Onkyo that supports Dolby Atmos, DTS-X and has 11 channels – enough for 7 surround and 4 ceiling speakers. The RZ5100 (like my Yamaha) is a preamplifier/processor. It contains no amplification to drive the speakers. These amps must be bought separately (To avoid 11 separate amplifiers underfoot, there are some amplifier brands which offer all kinds of nifty builds for 5.2.4 or 7.2.4 configurations – and they, like the RZ5100, accept XLR connectors.) If you like everything in one box, the Denon AVR X6500 has 11 channels with amplification included. Same for the Pioneer Elite SCX904. For both models, just connect your speakers to the rear of the chassis. The DB9000 would be a good fit for the Onkyo, Denon or the Pioneer Elite processors for the same reasons I bought the DB9000 for my system build quality and functionality. Finally, for a matching speaker system, any floor-standing Klipsch series would be a good choice, as would any floor-standing series from Bower & Wilkins (which I have in my system). There is just one caution concerning speakers: I strongly recommend that you stay away from any of the so-called “Height” speakers that sit on the top of your main speakers and purport to bounce the Dolby Atmos signals off the ceiling for a “virtual” 3D sound field. Most reviewers (and me!) find them a very poor substitute for ceiling speakers that produce a “REAL” 3D sound field experience.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, to say the least the ub-9000 should be paired with a better system with the Bose. As a high end denon receiver and klipsch speakers would be a great paring. Don’t go cheap on the connecting hdmi cables. The cinnamon cables by audioquest are a good choice in my opinion and what I use. Just be sure to buy two and use the feature of that player to go directly to the audio receiver and one directly to the display. Two subwoofers and even a atmos setup would be ideal for what the Panasonic is capable of. The picture quality rivals the oppo I would say. I have a Sony a9g master series in the 65” variant and the picture quality is excellent. So don’t skimp on the audio you pair with that great of a picture.
