I have a onkyo receiver and revel Harman and Bose speakers will that work together?

Yes it will work together.
The Revels could benefit from better electronics but are not a bad load so the receiver should be OK if you keep the volume reasonable. It won't harm the receiver but it could overheat and shut down. It depends on what model Revels you have. They are great speakers.
You can use the Bose as your surrounds but Bose won't make a good center channel.
You can use the Bose without harming anything but a matching Revel center would be the best choice for sound quality. The center speaker is very important to the overall quality.

MERGED QUESTION
Question from Chat3xp : "Mixed speaker set"

Only way to know is try it and see if you have any objection.

The variable are: Speaker matching, room acoustic, your ears.

In a perfect world, the speakers are matched perfectly, meaning they are the same "set" from the same vendor, but plenty of people use unmatched speakers.

My current center is "too bright" against my L+R but due to financial consideration and the fact that the "proper" center will require that I modify my entertainment cabinet, I have decided to live with imperfection.
