Question
Hi, I have a Marantz 7 channel amplifier. Also I Would like to connect 5 Bose double cube (red line) to it. Kindly can you give me details of how can (the best option) I connect 5 speakers to a 7 channel amplifier since I don't want to use 7 speakers. Also apart from 5 Bose speakers I have 2 towers speakers. Pls help.Thanks a lot!

Answer
Although I'm not familiar with Bose gear (as I purposely avoid it), the standard 5 speaker set up should apply - Left, Right, Center, Left surround, Right Surround.
Some 7 channel amps allow for another "Zone", and you could use the remaining 2 channels for a standard stereo set up (and utilize those towers). Consult your manual for this info.
