George,

Taking it from the top...

: Is the Acoustimass unit a true sub woofer?

No the acoustimass bass section is not a true subwoofer, but a bass unit which extends down to the middle 40Hz range.

: Some one told me that I should replace the center channel satalite with a real center channel speaker. Supposelly so that the dialog would be clearer. Would this really help?

No - run the center speaker as Bose intended. Be sure to set your receiver's center mode to "normal" if it is Dolby Pro Logic or "small" if it is an AC-3 system.

: Can the satalite speakers be used without the Acoustimass unit?

NO! Follow the directions to the letter as there are crossover components in the bass section. The satellies have a rather high lower-limit so stick with the Acoustimass unit. If you wish to install a true subwoofer, place it in series with the speaker inputs on the Bose system.

: I assume the crossover is in the Acoustimass unit. Is this true.

Yes.

: Would these speakers benefit from the addition of a powered subwoofer?

Yes.

: Thanks

Your welcome!

Alan
