Question about home theater speakers and Blu-ray players?
If I bought a Sony BDP-S550 Blu-ray player, but wanted to have the Bose Acoustimass 5 Series III speaker system w/ 3-piece subwoofer/satellite speakers for my home theater.
Would I need a separate receiver for these speakers to work?
Or could I just hook them up to my Blu-ray player?
10 points to Best Answer!
You would need a receiver since the Acoustimass 5 is an unpowered (passive) speaker system.
Thats said, why on earth would you choose Bose? They are highly overpriced for relatively mediocre sound. You can do MUCH better for the same money. See the link for further info.
Note that to get the full audio benefit of the DDP-S550 (which has internal decoders for advanced audio formats on Blu-ray) you need a receiver with HDMI input, or at a minimum optical/digital coax, to handle the high bitrate multichannel audio. And, speakers need to be very good quality. For that, forget Bose (the only thing they bring is small size in exchange for poor midrange) and look to almost any other brand. See the 2nd link for some suggestions.

1911 [2 Discs] [Blu-ray/DVD] $29.98 Dexterous martial-arts legend Jackie Chan reaches his 100th-film milestone with this historical drama set in the year 1911, as the Chinese public begins to revolt against the Qing dynasty that has ruled the country for 250 years. As the child emperor takes the throne and his mother, Empress Dowager Longyu (Joan Chen), clings to power, famine sweeps the land and warring factions clash in battle. Meanwhile, the army beings targeting rebels, and the desperate leaders of the Qing dynasty begin putting the country’s future at risk through rampant trading with foreign countries. When Huang Xing (Jackie Chan) returns home from studying modern warfare in Japan, he finds his homeland consumed by strife. Realizing that the only hope for the future is for China to take up arms and topple the Qing dynasty, Huang enters into an epic battle that threatens devastating consequences for the common people. Lee Bing Bing, Jaycee Chan, and Winston Chao co-star. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi |
