I have just placed an order for a V20, does the center speaker come with a wall bracket or not?

I have a Denon amp connected to a Bose 16 Acoustimass system and am planning on extending the sound to other parts of my house. Can the Denon amp be connected to the Bose v30?

Hi guys, I purchased a Bose V-20 and someone is selling me the jewel cubes (v-30) at a very low price. Is the only difference between the V20 and the V30 the speakers? If I connect the V30 speakers to the module that I bought (V-20) , does that mean I upgrade to V-30? Or there is another difference between the two V’s, thanks.

I want to buy the Bose V10 and wanted to know: a friend of mine wants to give me his jewel cube speakers from the v30. Will this work or is the amp different, and will I need some kind of different wiring? Thank you.

Hi, due to my room setup, I have a total of four inches from the top of my ceiling to the viewing portion of my TV. I would need to mount the center speaker (I think they are the same, but I’m looking at the V20) from the ceiling.

(1) Does the UB-20 fit the center speaker, and (2) will any portion of the TV be blocked considering, the height of the center speaker (2.38″) with it mounted on the UB-20?

Also, I have three HDMI required inputs (with the Bose media console only accepting two). I currently have a Oppo HM-31 HDMI 3 to 1 switch. Will I lose any quality if I run source via HDMI to Oppo via HDMI to Bose Media Counsel via HDMI to TV?

Thanks.

I have a Bose V20 and the speaker wire that is pre-installed in the wall is 12 gauge. The 12 gauge wire is too large to fit in the speakers and the adapter kit. If I connect the 12 gauge wire to a smaller gauge, like a 14 gauge wire, will it effect the sound quality?

I purchased a Bose Lifestyle V20 and a Panasonic plasma TV and the system is connected to the cable system. The sound is great until I use my Bose headphones (both QC2 and QC3). I have to turn the volume up to almost 70 (out of 100) to get decent volume. The headphone connections are all tight and the batteries are fully charged. Can you think of a reason why the volume output is so low when the headphones are plugged in?

Thanks.

Can you tell me what’s better: the Bose V30 or the Bose Lifestyle 35? If I choose the Lifestyle 35 can I run a Blu-ray player through it via the VS-2? And is there a difference in sound between the V30 and LS35? What about picture quality - if I use the VS2 on the 35 via HDMI will the picture be just as good as on the V30?

I recently purchased Bose V20. During the installation the red sleeve for the positive speaker wire came off. How can I tell which one is positive and negative, both are colored black?

Thank you.
