FS: Boston Acoustic A400's

Outstanding Boston Acoustic A400 Speakers


My new home does not have room for my wonderful pair of vintage Boston Acoustic A400 speakers. These were Boston's top of the line speakers back in the 80's, which I bought several years ago used and have lovingly restored with authentic Boston parts. The speakers are in excellent condition, with the original grill and well-maintained oak cabinet. These are truly remarkable speakers, capable of reproducing the finest of highs, and the biggest lows. The can punch out sound, yet at lower levels, warmly reproduce a wide range of music, from classical to jazz. These are my main speakers, which accommodate bi-amping.

Specs: 3 way, four driver speaker system, with dual woofer, midrange and tweeter.
Frequency response: 38Hz - 25 KHz +/- 3dB
Impedance: 4ohms
Drivers: 2 active 8" woofers
1 Six inch midrange
1 One inch tweeter

           Crossover Frequency:  300 Hz and 3000 Hz
           Dimensions: 41"H X 21"W X 7"D
           Weight: 65 lbs each (approx)
           Recommended amplifier power:  150 watts


These are the ideal speakers for a discriminating music lover on a budget. It would take you thousands today to get the sound these speakers reproduce.
