With a pair of Bose 301 series bookshelf speakers, what is the best setup for home theatre use?

Question

I just got a helluva great deal on a pair of Bose 301 series bookshelf speakers (half price display model from Circuit City). What is the best setup possible (amp, DVD player, etc...) for using these speakers as a home theatre system?

Answer 1

Depends on what you want and how much you want to spend.  For true 5.1 home theater surround, you will need 3 more speakers and a subwoofer.  

If you just want to hear your TV shows out of the speakers, at the very least you'll need a receiver.

So in order to give you a better answer, people will need to know what it is  you really want to accomplish and how much you want to spend.
