    Boston Acoustics A100 cross-over components?

    Hi all, I just acquired a mint pair of series 1 BA A100's that have been refoamed. They're in great shape, but I haven't listened to them yet. Curious about the cross-overs because I want to at least re-cap them since they're from 1981. I don't care about the coil. My dilemma is that I'm...

    I need help completing my setup in my dining room, fairly small (fits a 10-seater table). The only thing that i have right now is a Dual 1218 turntable w/ B&O SP12 stylus (that I picked up as junk and I have yet to actually repair). I've settled on the following choices for speakers and...

    Boston A150 screw size?

    Hey folks, hope I'm in the right subforum for this. I lost most of the screws that secure the 10" woofer frame to the cabinet while re-foaming one of my A150's recently. Anyone know what size I need? Also these speakers are gnarly good. Here's some glamour shots for you perverts.

    Boston Acoustics A200s. Very little sound.

    Hi! I have been restoring vintage KLH speakers for a few months now. I found a free pair of Boston Acoustics A200s that needed some foam surrounds. Loving the Kloss sound, I thought I'd give it a try. Anyway, I replaced the surrounds. First time. It wasn't as bad as I expected. I replaced the...

    Boston A200 Speakers - some driver ID needed

    picked up a decent pair of Boston Acoustics A200 speakers this past week. The cabinet base on one will need some rebuilding and the perpendicular "legs" that keep the speakers upright will need replacement. All the drivers have good ohm readings and check out. I'm in the process of recapping the...

    Boston Acoustics T-1030 Water Damage and Spider Questions

    Hi Everyone, I was lucky enough to score a pair of Boston Acoustics T-1030 last weekend to replace a set that I stupidly sold. After I got them home and reality set in, I realized they're in worse condition than I thought. 1.) The water damage is my main concern. The flaring and wavy pattern...

    Boston Acoustics A70 elusive crossover schematic

    Pulled out my A70s to rotate into service for a bit and began mulling the technical aspects of these fine speakers. Not well versed in BA lore, I turned to the vast knowledge of the Web for enlightenment and am perplexed to discover no crossover schematic anywhere to be found. Seems odd for a...

    BOSTON ACOUSTICS HD10 - Some Worthy Upgrades

    Hello, Nearly 17 years ago, I bought a pair of used Boston Acoustics HD10 loudspeakers on Ebay. Luckily I had a buddy of mine pick them up locally for me, so they never had to get shipped - or more precisely never got damaged during shipping. I've had them ever since, but haven't used them in...

    I have been poking around, looking at sound bars for a possible LED TV purchase in the coming months. When making the rounds at the "usual suspects," I always used to pay a visit to Boston's site. After my last visit, I don't know why I bothered. Their current offerings are dismal. Their...

    Thumping / Beating Noise From Speakers During Playing

    I have a great pair of Boston A100 and A150, recently though I noticed when I started up the A100s there seems to be this almost thumping or "door knocking" sound, especially prominent near the end of the record. It's very hard to describe, it's a soft thumping sound with maybe one second...

    Boston Acoustics A400 drivers needed

    I've found a pair of A400's that are missing one mid and one woofer. Interestingly, the woofers are only marked with the date (Feb 29, 1984) and have square magnets, which I can't find any reference to. Furthermore, the midrange is open backed, while most of the other mids seem to be enclosed...
