Advanced drivers deliver the Boston sound you love
The A 225C features Boston's 1" Kortec® soft dome tweeter for clear, crystalline highs. The dual ceramic/glass fiber polymer woofers use Boston's Deep Channel Design® to deliver more bass response per watt of amplifier power. The crossovers in all A Series speaker models incorporate low-loss capacitors and low-distortion cores for the inductors. It means you'll hear every note in your music with minimum distortion.
Thoughtful cabinet design
This speaker's cabinet design also features vertical and horizontal internal bracings to reduce unwanted resonance that can muddy the sound. Plus, as part of Boston's A Series of speakers, the A 225C features modern styling with a stunning high-gloss, scratch-resistant cabinet, a textured top panel for contrast, and a convenient magnetic grille.
Tips for system building
Create a complete A Series speaker system using a combination of A 250 or A 360 floor-standing speakers in the front of your room, and A 25 or A 26 bookshelf speakers in the back of your room. Add either the ASW250 or ASW650 powered subwoofer, and you can enjoy deep, rumbling bass, too.

A-Series Center-Channel: The Boston Acoustics A-Series center-channel loudspeaker (A 225C) incorporates high-quality components that produce the legendary Boston Sound. The A-Series center-channel loudspeaker is ideally suited for use in a high-quality 5.1ch, 6.1ch, or 7.1ch channel home theater system.
2-Way Speaker System: The Boston Acoustics A-Series center-channel loudspeaker features a two-way design that employs two 5.25" woofers paired with a single 1.0" soft-dome tweeter.
1" Kortec Soft-Dome Tweeter: The Boston Acoustic A 225C features Boston's 1" Kortec soft-dome tweeter for crystalline high frequencies.
Dual 5.25" DCD Woofers: The Boston Acoustics A 225C center-channel loudspeaker is fitted with two 5.25" ceramic/glass fiber polymer woofers with Deep Channel Design (DCD) that allow for higher speed, reduced distortion, and improved sensitivity. As a result the A 225C delivers more bass response from less amplifier power.
Crossover Network: The crossover components in the A 225C incorporate low-loss film capacitors and low-distortion laminated silicon steel cores for the inductors in all critical areas. The tweeter and woofers are crossed over at 2,600 Hz.
Enclosure Design

Vertical and horizontal internal bracings reduce cabinet resonances for enhanced audio quality.

Note: The binding posts are spaced to far apart to accommodate dual banana plugs.
Color-Coded: The speaker's binding posts are color-coded (red/black) for easy identification between positive and negative.

This speaker was easy to hook up. It goes well with two floor standing Boston Acoustics speakers that I already had. All three speakers are connected to a Rotel RSX 1056 A/V receiver. The sound quality from the A 225 C center speaker is excellent.
