I didn't understand this when I order it and I am very disappointed since I was looking forward to have rear speakers. I will returning this system. If you don't have a BOSE system then forget this product. Why can't they work with other systems. Why do they create this product and don't say if you don't have a BOSE system then look elswhere. It won't work. BEWARE.
Confirmed this is true with Bose customer service. Now I'm going to be penalized a 15% restocking fee and shipping fees with 6th Ave. Electronics. You can't hook up this system unless you have a bose system/receiver in place. I saw a review on another site that suggested this would work with my Onkyo receiver, but after buying and attempting to install the system I found out the hard way. Sweet Deal.
While the SL2 saves the trouble of running a wire to the back of the room, you must still run wires to the speakers. That said, the connection is beyond easy and the sound quality is impeccable. An excellent product, however, I was just a little disappointed that this is really only a partially wireless connection. I highly recommend this product.
For owners of a Bose system, this is a snap to install. It comes complete with connections to your Acoustimass module, and new wires to connect from the remote unit to your speakers. No need to cut or strip wires and even has the right connections for Lifestyle "cube" speakers.Without doubt, this is a perfect system when used as designed, within a decent-sized room for a home theatre system. After a recent house move I was forced to try and "hide" the surround sound wires for my LifeStyle 35 system rear speakers between the baseboards and carpet. This worked well until my youngest son started crawling and pulled the wires up.After much searching around I decided that this system would be best and I am not disappointed. My receiving unit is approximately 15 feet from the broadcast unit.
However, I'm happy to say there is absolutely no difference between using the SL2 and hard wiring the rear speakers. a) The system is made up of two receivers. They are both very small, and are easily concealable. I recently moved to a new house, and didn't want to drill holes in the walls or floor to get the wires to the back of the room. I was somewhat skeptical about this product and concerned with sound quality. b) The front receiver plugs into the base module with 2 wires (left & right speaker wires)c) The rear speakers plug into the rear receiver.d) Installation complete.This is an excellent product and I highly recommend it to all.
