AVR5800 and Bose 901

I have inherited a pair of Bose 901's and was curious if they can be hooked to a AVR5800. Bose does not list Denon as a compatible receiver for the Bose system (active eq). I figured the 901's might make a good set of rear speakers in my surround set up....

The bose eq. was made to work for the bose speakers only. Do not use it on other speakers. Use it only in the channels that you use the bose speakers in. It is not an EQ. in the true nature of a graphic eq. Do not use the pre outs for the front L+R as it will then effect those channels sound. If you are going to use the bose in the rear channels then use the rear channel pre outs only.

Thanks everyone for your great advice. I agree that the 901's are completely overated ,but if I am not mistaken they should make good rears..Does this make sense??
