How do you get just front and surround speakers to play on a Denon avr-1508?
There are no surround modes that quickly turn off the subwoofer, center channel and surround back speakers, but leave the surround speakers (side) speakers on. You will need to go into the System Setup -> Sp 2. In 3.0p -> Speaker Setup menu to select Center Speaker 'None', Surround Speaker ('Large' or 'Small'), Surround Back Speaker 'None' and Subwoofer 'No'. If you have a subwoofer and want sound to come out of the all of the speakers when you are listening to a non-surround source such as a CD, use the 5CH/7CH Stereo DSP simulation.

How do you get sound ONLY from your outside speakers with a Yamaha HTR-5835?
After spending a couple of hours on this, I found the answer 10 minutes after posting the question... The problem was that the "A" and "B" speaker selections control the front speakers only. The surround sound speakers are always on, regardless of which set of speakers is selected. The answer to the problem was to set the receiver in "direct stereo" mode so that the surrouund sound stuff was taken out of the loop.
What is the best stereo receiver to power your home theater with Bose speaker system?
Is it a Bose Acoustimass system? If so, buy at least 90-100 watts per channel receiver. Think if you also need a zone 2 for outdoor speakers, so then you can power both rooms independently. You wont be able to use a Bose Companion computer speaker system with a surround receiver.

Where is the Bose amp located?
Bose speakers designed for home theater / home stereo applications can be powered by any stereo or surround receiver with sufficient power output for the ratings of the speakers. Bose speakers for car stereo applications must be powered by Bose amplifiers, since they have a special super-low impedence design which is not used by other manufacturers. Bose speakers for MP3 players have their own amplifier built into the speakers.

2.1 versus 5.1 home theater?
Both of these numbers refer to the speaker set up of the home theater. 2.1 represents two front channel speakers (left and right) and one LFE (low frequency effects) channel, otherwise known as the subwoofer. 5.1 surround sound is just that: you are surrounded by speakers. You have your left channel, right channel and subwoofer (as in 2.1) but you also have a center speaker and two surround speakers (generally in plane with your seating position or slightly behind it). For real 'home theater' applications, 5.1 surround sound is going to provide you with the better movie watching experience. All modern movies and in fact most DVDs (and Blu-Ray etc) have 5.1 surround tracks on them. By playing these movies on a 2.1 home theater, all of the sound that would go to the center speaker or the surround speakers is played only by the front two speakers. A 5.1 surround system versus a 2.1 system will draw you into the movie and give you a better experience. All standard definition television content is broadcast in stereo and for this, there is no benefit of 5.1. For home theater applications, however, 5.1 is the way to go.
