Ok I will be upgrading to Axiom speakers and have roughed in the needed 14/2 speaker wire for home theater.

I presently use a Bose accoustimass home theater and tried connecting the bose speakers to my new speaker wires and connected them to my Yamaha receiver.

I had always wanted to try this thinking that better cable,direct connection would make those little cubes sound better but I was wrong. They sounded bad! all tone no bass it was really bad.

Do Axiom home theater speakers connect to the sub before the receiver like Bose Systems?

Thanks for any replies.
