The Boston A40's. These have always been one of our favorite "book shelf" speakers. I sold these for years as a Boston dealer and always knew my customers would be more then pleased with them, when properly qualified. I also purchased new, and utilized a pair of original series Boston A40's in my home studio as "mix-down" monitors for years. Very accurate 2-way design reproduces very nice detail in the audio spectrum without being too anemic (an issue with many 'smaller speakers).
Our speaker tech has completely gone through and 'Certified' these. He completely tested all drivers. He replaced the 'deteriorated' original foam gasketing material with fresh, new foam surrounds for years of trouble-free service. To reduce any possibilities of vibration or acoustic anomalies he added new gasketing to eliminate vibrations and sonic anomalies. Felt feet were installed to the bottom plates. Next, as always they were tested with both recorded material, PN 20-20k and swept them with our AF generator from 1Hz-3kHz. Then came our standard, 'abusive' test recordings.
Cosmetically, the grills were cleaned & the cabinets and grills are in great shape. Slight scratches you can 'feel' with your hand on the sides, but can't notice them visually. Nothing distracting at all.

These are in great looking and sounding condition. Cabinets are dark, oak grain vinyl wrap. Again, as stated above, we have just installed fresh, new foam surrounds on the woofers for years of trouble-free service. We completely tested them including sweeping them with an audio generator looking for any acoustical anomalies or extraneous noises or sounds. Great balance and very pleasing to listen to. Each measures 13.5" H x 8.25 W" x 7.75" D and weighs 9 lbs unpacked. Includes our standard 30 day limited speaker warranty ( & excluding problems due to under / over powering).

 One of the larger of the Boston Acoustic models. The Boston Acoustic A100 stereo speakers (I have had a pair of these in my main speaker line-up for years and they're probably the most listened to pair...I currently have about 16 pair in my system). Great speaker for detail & balance. One of my all time favorites.
We have completely tested all drivers. Our speaker tech has completely gone through and 'Certified' these. Woofer surrounds replaced with fresh for years of trouble-free service. All drivers were removed and reinstalled into cabinet with ‘added’ gasketing material under their frames to further reduce any possibilities of vibration or acoustic anomalies. Next, as always they were tested with both recorded material, PN 20-20k and swept them with our AF generator from 20-3kHz. Then came our standard, 'abusive' test recordings. These speakers are ready to go!
We auditioned this pair well. Following the above mentioned 'barrage', our demo cuts ran the gamut from Dire Straits, 'Brothers in Arms', TLC 'Fan Mail', Allison Kraus and Union Station, Nickelback, and a few others, all digitally recorded and some 'DDD'.
Great 'balance' and...

(Due to the nature of these speakers, S,H & I will slightly more involved than most 'bookshelf' style speakers. Custom, double-wall boxes will be manufactured specifically for them (not really a 'big deal' as we are having custom boxes made most every week locally). This will however, add about 5-10 days to their ship time.)
