Excellent sound - Grade A
By LudVanB
This is a great system of speakers. Well-built, good looking, durable, good connections, but MOST importantly - great sound. The subwoofer is a MONSTER of good bass! I am extremely pleased with this surround sound system, better than any I have ever had. The only reason I am giving this product 4 stars, rather than 5 is that the overall depth of sound is not quite as sharp as I expected. The rear channels are too average for a 5 star rating. The center and front speakers are really good. This is an outstanding, overall diverse and powerful set of speakers for anything from watching James Bond to a Pavarotti concert. Highly recommended.

By fishhook
I'm no audiophile but I bought this speaker system along with a Denon 788 receiver to replace a Sony surround soud system that came with my house. For a speaker set these speaker have really good sound. The larger center and front speakers have two woofers and one tweeter. The rear have a woofer and tweeter. These sound much better than the Sony system with its one way speakers. The subwoofer has very good bass and has yet to distort. The only complaint than I have is that out of the box there is a plastic tab that in order to remove you have to remove the speaker grill. While doing this I manage to break off one of the posts that hold the grill to the speaker. I called Boston Acoustics and they did send a replacement, no questions asked. The grills are very fragile so use caution.

By Menil Man
If I had paid more than I did, 300 euros, I would've been sorely disappointed.The satellites do sound great, not as warm as my old Infinity bookshelves, but very full. They are a little flat, not dynamic and they don't fill my little 6 X 15 ft. room, but still, their range is good and pure.However!The subwoofer, no matter what settings I've used on my very nice Marantz SR5002 AVR, and no matter where I put the ugly beast, doesn't hold up. I'm going to put it on the market and look for another sub. It's boomy, and while it :may: fill in the lost lower frequencies, it's hit and miss. Plus, did I say it's boomy?Sorry, but for me, "house shaking" does not equal a good sub.Better heard and not felt, is my feeling. I feel this thing, but just hear "whoomp whoomp whoomp." Is that music, or a jack-hammer?!My old subs, a passive set by Cambridge Soundworks did a great job for their 15-year life. I heard all the rich sounds, but never got jolted mid-song by a misplaced "bra-ooomp!!"Another :little: problem is the transformer in the sub hums. I had to take it out and re-screw it on the outside of the panal on the sub; no biggie if you've got a soldering iron, but we shouldn'be be hearing the sub humming during quieter parts of movies, right?My opinion? If you can get this for under 300, take it, keep the sats, and try and sell the sub for a few bucks to a starving student.
