Boston A60's Saved

Bought a pair of Boston A40's back in 1990 after a friend insisted I not buy something cheap.......think I was going to buy KLH from Price Club. (Costco) Turned out to be good advice and they ran strong until about 2007 when they started making a bad noise. Pulled the covers and found rotten foam surrounds, not knowing any better I pitched them and got some Boston A26's. Those never did sound as good - recently I found the A40's could have been saved for little $$$ so I found a set of A60's on ebay for$20 + $44 shipping - got some foam from Rick Cobb after reading several threads here.

Cabinets just needed a good cleaning and are otherwise in real nice shape after 25 years (built 2/90) so with so with the new foam installed I plugged them in this morning and they work great - good for another 25 years.

My question is did Boston make a sub and center speaker in that era that could be picked up for a bargain?

1. A60 before
2. A60 after
3. A60 next to the A26

There were very few subs and centers in the A60 era.

Get another A60 for a center. Or maybe A70s for your fronts and use one A60 for a center. Build a bucket sub.
