Difference between these, and the smaller $299 speakers?

This one is specifically built for the Bose 700 series. I tried the $299 one but couldn't get the better sound I wanted. Sound was low and only project in Movies with 5.1 for the $299. I returned it and swap out to this one, though spent an extra $200 ($499 vice $299), better sound and well worth the extra $200 should you want to get the best out of your Soundbar+Bass speakers. Sound was awesome and loud from all (Music, movies, TV etc.) Hope I answered your question....Not an affiliate to Bose but a happy customer.

If this is a wireless speaker, why the wireless receiver included? Thx.

These speakers are not 100% wireless. There is a cable (with also includes a wireless receiver) that plugs into the back of the speaker and then to an outlet. The signal goes from the television via HDMI or Optical to the Bose Sound Bar. The Sound bar transmits the signal to the wireless receiver. Then the sound travels though the cable to the speaker.

Is it best to situate these in the middle of the wall (from front to back) or at the back of the room?

I have mine in the back of the room. They sound awesome. They are 360 deg speaker so you’d think they would work fine in the middle. These speakers are very nice and work well in the back of the room

Can you connect these to any reciever?

You know I am not sure? I tend to believe that they are for the Bose equipment, I think that Bose intends them to work with their stuff, but I could be wrong...Sorry I know that's not much help.
