LOC
New amp
New speakers
New speaker wire
Base system speaker brackets
Out of curiosity why doesn't another manufacturer make compatible speakers?
Bose makes them so why doesn't someone else just make a superior product?
Seems crazy to have to put in all of the above. Is it not feasible from a design perspective
or is it some kind of industry protection thing? Just curious as I've read all your threads on this and don't recall the actual reason?

Thanks Bigaudiofanat

It is not only because of the different ohms rating, that can be matched. The second reason is the bose amp filters the sound before it ever gets to the speakers. So replacing the speakers is not going to help if the bose amp is set at a crazy crossover range.

You need a flat unmodified signal to start with than add amps than your new speakers.

To put it in other words, the bose by default omits a lot of frequency's a new pair of speakers can reproduce just fine. So you would not be getting the best sound from them if you were to just wire them up to the bose system, not to mention a change of under driving the speakers with the bose amp.
