    Boston Acoustics T930 Woofer Mismatch?

    So I grabbed up some BA towers on marketplace the other day for $30, i have a couple pairs of a70s that i have really been enjoying and recognized the grills in the blurry photos, figured i would do some "speaker speculation". They seemed to be in pretty good condition from the quick check in...

    Boston Acoustics A200 - help with midrange drivers

    Hello everyone. I recently acquired a pair of Boston Acoustics A200s from an antique shop. Here’s a rundown of their apparent condition: Cabinets are in great condition, but the base is pretty broken up – will need to remove what’s left and rebuild. Tweeters appear to be pristine Midrange...

    The Truth about AR9 speakers and WPC

    Hey guys, just picked up these well thought of speakers and afterwards I’ve read some reviews about how they NEED well over 100 wpc. I tried them on my Luxman L-410 75wpc but I like them better on my R-1050 55wpc. Am I missing something? Is there something magic that happens at higher watt...

    Newbie in need of some basic help with speaker hookup (A60 series II into an SX-580)

    I have a very general/entry level question about hooking up my speakers to my receiver. I’m basically wondering what kind of speaker wire I should use (what gauge, what brand, etc.). Also, should I use banana plugs or some other sort of connectors, or go bare wire directly into both the speakers...

    BA A200 vs Goodmans Magna K - Speaker Decisions

    Hello, while I appreciate these sets of speakers aren't really like for like with limited funds I'm having to make a call on one of the two sets (roughly the same price). I've always wanted a pair of A200s (listen to a broad range of music) and have a track on a pair locally. Simultaneously, a...

    Boston Acoustics A400 - Distortion in Midrange

    Hello, I am a proud, or at least proud that I have hung on to them this long, original owner of a pair of BA A400's. I bought them new c1984 and at some point moved on to other speakers. The A400's were in climate-controlled storage for around 15 years and I recently had a reason to resurrect...

    Would this AV Surround system be an upgrade?

    I currently have an Onkyo TX-NR809 in for the HDMI board replacement. In the meantime, I started looking at a new entertainment center cabinet since my old one fell apart. I found one I like but it's not really deep enough to accomodate the Onkyo. That started me looking for a newer but second...

    Boston Acoustics T830 refoam help needed

    Hey AK, I just picked up a sweet pair of BA T830 for very little, the nice old lady said they were her late husbands and hadn't been used in a while. She cleaned them constantly so there wasn't any dust damage but I could tell the woofer surrounds were crumbly. I got them home and sure enough...

    Boston A150 project

    I recently acquired a nice pair of A150's series 2's in VGC. Woofers were replaced with new OEM's from BA about four years ago and all drivers function well though I may check and/or replace the ferrofluid in the tweeters as these are 30 plus years old. Crossovers have never had any work done...

    Boston Acoustics A100 speakers

    Ok, so I've stumbled across a pair of Boston Acoustics A100 speakers locally for $160 AUD (126 USD) which strikes me as quite cheap for what seems to be a well thought of speaker. As I understand it these are 90db efficient. Does anyone know how easy to drive these are? I plan to use with a JLH...

    Boston A70 vs Klipsch KG 2.2 vs Polk Monitor 7

    I have a set of Polk Monitor 7C (SL1000 tweeter) speakers as my main speakers currently and I like them, but recently found pairs of Boston A70 and Klipsch KG 2.2 online. I've done research on both and think either one might be a small upgrade from the Monitors. Are there any more experienced...

    2 Ch Receiver (with Phono) $300 or less, please recommend

    Hi all, I'm helping my mom research a receiver for my dad's stereo. My dad has an early 80s setup with a Technics turntable with MM cart, and Boston Acoustic speakers, smallish, I think they are the A60s. What's happening is that there is a hum when using the TT, and I have purchased a new...

    Boston Acoustic A150 series 1 replacement midrange

    hi all, I recently picked up a pair of BA A150s series 1 in real oak. They are phenomenal, but one of them has a dead midrange. I tested the mid in the other, correctly working speaker and it's still dead, so it's not the xover. I see a lot of replacement mids on eBay for $25 that look...
