Boston Acoustics New Classic Series II Speakers Start At Under $100

By Rachel Cericola

Whether you need to add a few speakers or an entire audio setup, Boston Acoustics has a few options in its newly updated Classic Series II speaker line.

Featuring a classic design in a black walnut finish, all four of the models, as well as a new subwoofer, are sold separately. The new speaker line includes the 6.5-inch 2-way CS 260 II Floorstanding Loudspeaker (MSRP: $199.99), the 2-way dual 5.25-inch CS 225C II Center Channel ($199.99), the 2-way 6.5-inch CS 26 II Bookshelf Speaker ($149.99), and the 2-way 3.5-inch CS23 II Compact Bookshelf Speaker ($99.99).

If you want to buy in bulk, the company is also packaging up four of the bookshelf speakers and the center channel into the complete CS 2300 II 5-channel surround sound system ($579.99). If you want to add bass to this set or your existing home system, the CS Sub10 II 10-inch, 100-watt Down-Firing DCD Subwoofer ($299.99) is also new to the series.

"Boston Acoustics has a strong rich history in the traditional 'box' speaker business, and our new Classic II Speakers will continue to offer consumers a great-sounding, entry-level solution," says Phil Cohn, senior VP for Boston Acoustics. "Based on the success of the original Classic speakers, the new Classic cabinets have a refined industrial design that will satisfy modern tastes for impeccable audio performance, as well as the desire for classic styling. Our new Classic Series II speakers are without question one of today's best performance-value propositions."

The CS 2300 II 5-channel surround sound system features four CS 23 II bookshelf speakers and the CS 223 II center channel.

All of the speakers boast Kortec soft-dome tweeters, woofers with a Deep Channel Design (DCD), acoustically tuned ports, and 5-way gold-plated binding posts. As an added bonus, each of the Classic II Series has MagnaGuard magnetic shielding to prevent video interference.

The original Classic Series is currently available on Amazon. We should see the Classic Series II start selling there and at other authorized Boston Acoustics dealers later this month.
