Since then the company continued to develop and to bring great products such as computer speakers, audio systems, iPod speakers and also speakers for the auto industry.

And today we are going to discuss about a specific product from this company, and we’ll choose the Boston Acoustics MM 226 computer speaker system. This is a 2.1 system, that has two small speakers and a subwoofer. This system offers quite a good sound, with clear high sounds and also a deep bass thanks to the subwoofer. You can connect it to your computer, but also to other audio sources such as CD or MP3 player, iPod, and even to your Xbox game console.

Each satellite has 25 watts RMS of power, and the subwoofer has 50 watts RMS, so this means that the total power is 100 watts RMS.

Computers had developed a lot in the last years and along with them all of their components. And in here we can also include the computer speakers. Many years ago they have been just some small components integrated on the main board but today they are external devices (some of them really small) which are capable of bringing a good quality sound. There are many computer speakers manufacturers on the market, and Boston Acoustics is one of them. So today we are going to talk about some of the Boston Acoustics computer speakers.



The company was founded in 1979 by two men : Andy Kotsatos and Fran Reed. Today it makes speakers for home and also for the car industry. It is designing and producing all sorts of speakers such as subwoofers, satellites, midrange, and many others. In 2005 it was bought by D & M Holdings and today it operates as a subsidiary of this company.



Now let’s take some of the speakers categories offered by Boston Acoustics and discuss more about them. Let’s begin with the soundbars…these are long and slim speakers, that usually stay on a horizontal position. You can place them under the monitor, under the TV, or anywhere you want in the room. But is best to have them in front of you, so you can enjoy their sound at maximum. An example is the P 400 3 channel speaker from Boston Acoustics. The speaker has three other integrated speakers (left, right and center channel). All of the three speakers have quite a good power and will sound really nice so they will worth the money. They are just perfect to be placed under a flat screen TV, in this way you can have both a great video and audio experience when watching a movie.

Boston Acoustics is also offering some good home theater systems and one of them is the Sound Ware XS 5.1 system. It has a cool design, some small dimensions and it comes at a price of 500 dollars. It will bring a rich and powerful sound, and because they are so small you will easily be able to place them anywhere in the room, without being noticed by the guests. They come in white or black, depending how your room is already looking.



This was an example of audio system, but if you don’t want a whole system, Boston Acoustics is also offering individual audio components. First you can choose some bookshelf speakers. These are usually small speakers, that can be placed on a bookshelf but it’s not necessary to have a bookshelf, you can place them anywhere across the room. Some bookshelf speakers from the company are the CS 23 speakers. They will offer a nice and clear sound as they will be specialized on the high frequency sounds. But of course they will give some of the other sound frequencies, so you can use them individually or in combination with a subwoofer and a center channel. They have a simple design, and they come  in 2 colors: cherry vinyl or black walnut.

The next category of speakers offered by the company are the floor standing speakers. these are usually big and heavy speakers, with the aspect of a tower, and they must be placed directly on the floor. They are also quite powerful and will give the whole range of sounds, so you can use them individually and there is no need to combine them with other speakers. Some floor standing speakers from Boston Acoustics are the CS 226. Even though the design is quite simple and classic, the sound quality will be really good. They come at a price of 229 dollars, so they will worth each dollar. You can choose them in 2 colors, black or cherry. You can leave them as they are, or you can take off the detachable grills and reveal the audio drivers, and make the speakers look more aggressive.



The speaker that makes the difference between a normal sound, and a deep and powerful sound is the subwoofer. This one will give you the sensation that you are in a disco club where you are listening to some music, or it can give you the feeling of being at the cinema when watching a movie. If you have a really powerful subwoofer, and you turn it loud, you can easily make your windows to shiver and annoy your neighbors. So that’s why you have to be careful with the volume of the bass, especially if you are living in an apartment surround by neighbors. There are many subwoofer offered by Boston Acoustics and one of them is the VPS 210. It has an incredible power of 500 watts RMS, and also a cool design. No matter what type of music you are listening to, no bass note will go unfelt.

But it is not necessary to have the speakers in your home to enjoy some good sound, you can also place them in your back yard, or near the pool or anywhere else outside the home. And to do this, you will need some outdoor speakers. Boston Acoustics is offering some models of outdoor speakers and they are water and weather proof. So no matter if it is a cold day, a rainy day or a warm day, you can enjoy some music outside the house. One example are the Voyager RK 6T2. They have a very unique design, and they are looking just like a rock. So this way they will blend in the environment of your garden, and it will be quite difficult for other people to notice that this rock is actually a speaker. They come in 3 colors: sandstone, river rock or granite.

If you don’t wish to have speakers and wires all over your desk or your room, then you can choose some in wall or in ceiling speakers. As the name says these speakers will be integrated in the wall or ceiling, so they won’t take any space from your home and they are practically invisible. And it will be quite a nice sensation to have music coming from the ceiling. Since the iPods and iPhones are really popular these days, and also the speakers for these devices, Boston Acoustics is also offering a few models of iPod speakers. These are one piece devices that usually have 2 stereo speakers and a display, so they are looking pretty close to a radio. All you have to do is place the iPod or iPhone in the specific dock, and enjoy all your favorite music. And the speaker will also charge your iPod as it is playing.



As we said earlier, Boston Acoustics is also producing speakers for the automotive industry. It co-operates with many famous car producers, such as: Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Charger, Chrysler 300, Dodge Avenger and others. So we hope you have enjoyed this trip among the Boston Acoustics speakers, and if you are already using, or have just bought some speakers from this company, please share all your opinions with us (no matter if they are positive or negative reviews).

In this article we’ll be talking about some of the Boston Acoustics computer speakers with a power of 200 watts.  First we’ll take the Boston Acoustics Speaker System Horizon MM 226 Midnight Black 200 Watts.

As you can notice from the picture, it has a pretty cool and very small design. It is a 2.1 audio system, that means it has 2 stereo speakers and a subwoofer. The speakers are black and the subwoofer is grey, so they can easily assort with your room. The regular price for this system is 199 dollars, but if you catch a special offer you can get it even at 105 dollars. The system has a great sound quality with a deep and powerful bass. Like we mentioned before, the total power is 200 watts which is quite powerful, especially if you are using it in a small apartment room. The sound will be rich and clean even at higher volumes, because of the Bass Trac audio processing.  The satellites are having high-output dual 2-inch drivers and ½ inch high performance tweeters. The power for each satellite is 25 watts RMS and 50 watts dynamic output power. The subwoofer has a 61/2 inch driver with a 50 watts RMS and 100 watts dynamic output power. So the actually real power is 100 watts, and the 200 watts we talked about represents the dynamic output power. But still, this is pretty good for a 2.1 system. Beside the speakers and the subwoofer, the system also features a wired control pad with the volume controls, auxiliary input and headphones jack. Like we told you before they are quite small and here are the dimensions: a satellite speaker has 9 7/8 × 2 ¾ × 2 7/8 ” (251 × 70 x 73 mm) and a weight of just 2.6 lbs (1.1 kg). The subwoofer has dimensions of 8 ¾ × 123/4 ×12 3/4 (140 × 327 x 203 mm) and a weight of 13 lbs (6 kg). So after all it is a pretty good system which will worth its money.

Another product from Boston Acoustics with a power of 200 watts is the XB6 12-inch 200-watt Powered Subwoofer.



As you can see this also has a simple, black design. It features a large 12 inch Deep Channel woofer and powerful amplifier in a vented enclosure. Like we said it can be amplified up to a power of 200 watts, which is very good for just a subwoofer – imagine that you will have some extra 100 or more watts from the other speakers too. The subwoofer has a frequency response of 29 Hz up to 150 Hz.  It also has a weight of 28 lbs ( 12.7 kg) and dimensions of 13.94 inches in depth, 13.75 inches in height and 15.55 inches in width. So it is not so large after all, and can be easily placed under your desk, without taking a lot of space We said under your desk, because this is usually the place where it’s best to keep a subwoofer, to enjoy its best quality of the bass. This subwoofer also has the BassTrac technology from Boston Acoustics which allows you to play it at higher volumes, without too much distortion of sound. It also has provided variable crossovers, phase controls, rear-panel line and speaker level inputs. The volume control knob is placed on top of the subwoofer. The ratings for these subwoofer are pretty good, and people are usually giving it 4 or 5 stars out of 5. The home users are also satisfied with it , and recommend it especially for a small apartment. So enjoy it!



Now let’s talk about the Boston Acoustics GT-2200 200 watts amplifier. You don’t need just a very powerful amplifier to make your music sound good. Yes...you will get a higher volume of the sound, but it won’t be clean and with a high quality. So that’s why you need an amplifier which is both powerful and cleans up the signals. The Boston Acoustics GT-2200 does both of these things. It has a 200 watts per channel at 4 ohms and 350 watts at 2 ohms, so this means it is definitely powerful. If you connect it to a subwoofer you can go as high as 700 watts at 4 ohms and an incredible 900 watts at 2 ohms. It has all the components  shielded so that it will not interfere with any other device. So your music will be both powerful and clean. It also has a cooling fan to maintain reasonable temperatures in the case at all time. The price for this amplifier may vary on the store, and it can be between 400 – 600 dollars. The reviews for it are very good, giving it a maximum of 5 out of 5 stars. After all it is definitely a high-end amplifier that will make your music sound infinitely better.

These were just some of the great products from Boston Acoustics. Of course you can find many more others, some with 200 watts, some with less or more, but they will definitely sound good.
