Good Looks and Legendary Boston Sound

Housed in stunning high-gloss scratch-resistant cabinets with textured tops and magnetic grilles, the A Series was designed to offer Boston’s legendary sound, with modern styling, exceptional quality, and enduring value.

To deliver best-in-class sound, Boston engineers brought together the best elements of traditional loudspeaker design and technology and also included “Smart” Features to enhance the user experience. Vertical and horizontal internal bracings reduces cabinet resonances for enhanced audio quality, and a newly developed ceramic and glass fiber polymer woofer cones allow for higher speed, reduced distortion, and improved sensitivity. Further enhancing sonic performance, the crossover components in all A Series models incorporate low-loss film capacitors and low-distortion laminated silicon steel cores for the inductors in all critical areas. The A Series speakers are ideal for either multi-channel home theater or stereo-only music systems, and may be used with each other in any configuration for any listening application.

A Series Loudspeakers include Boston Acoustics “Smart” Features

As part of Boston Acoustics’ Play Smart^® approach to product design, the A Series includes a host of “Smart” Features to enhance the user experience.

 Smart Features include:

• Boston’s 1-inch Kortec® soft dome tweeter for crystalline high frequencies
• Advanced ceramic/glass fiber polymer woofers with Deep Channel^® Design (DCD) deliver more bass response from less amplifier power

Eli Harary, Senior Vice President, for Boston Acoustics, noted: “With the creation of our new A Series loudspeakers, Boston Acoustics has set the benchmark for loudspeaker performance, design, and value once again.
