Features

Two-Way Speaker: The Boston Acoustics M25 bookshelf loudspeaker features a 1" Extended Wide Bandwidth dome tweeter and a 5.25" cone woofer for accurate, natural sound and dynamic bass. The 1" EWB dome tweeter provides greater clarity and less distortion, while the 5.25" cone woofer delivers dynamic bass response.

• 1" Extended Wide Bandwidth Dome Tweeter: The M25 Bookshelf Loudspeaker is equipped with Boston's signature 1" Extended Wide Bandwidth (EWB) dome tweeter, which is designed to cover a broad range of frequencies, reduce distortion, and improve clarity in the high registers. Unlike most tweeters, the EWB has a small dimple in the middle and a large radiating surface that extends from the center to the outside perimeter of the diaphragm. This design enables the tweeter to track subtle treble details and reproduce the highest frequencies with ease.
• 5.25" Polypropylene Cone Woofer: The M25 also contains a 5.25" polypropylene cone woofer driver with aluminum shorting ring for dynamic bass and clear, distortion-free sound.

High Quality Crossover Networks: Very high quality crossover networks featuring low loss film capacitors and low distortion laminated silicon steel core inductors are utilized for greater clarity and minimal coloration.

Lo-Q Cabinet Construction: The M25's Lo-Q cabinet is built to reduce vibrations and eliminate unwanted resonances. The M25 has a cabinet made of Lo-Q, a material consisting of two pieces of medium-density fiberboard joined together with a thick layer of damping adhesive in the middle. This material significantly reduces cabinet vibrations to virtually eliminate unwanted resonances allowing the M25 to create a larger, more vivid soundstage. The cabinet also contains heavy-duty absorptive fill and internal braces which have been strategically positioned to maximize the speaker's strength and optimize sound.

Gloss Black Finish w/ Leatherette Wrap: The M25's gloss black finish and curved side panels with faux leather wrap can complement almost any decor.

Rear-Firing Port: The Boston Acoustics M25 employs a rear-firing port for higher efficiency and greater bass response. Because of the rear-firing port, the speaker should be placed at least 3" from the wall.

Binding Post Speaker Terminals: The Boston Acoustics M25 bookshelf loudspeaker is fitted with a set of binding post speaker terminals that will accept bare wire (up to 10AWG), banana plugs (single only), spade-connectors, and pin-connectors.

Mounting Options: The M25's compact size allows you to place the speaker on a bookshelf, wall shelf, table, or speaker stand. Self-adhesive rubber feet are included to minimize the vibration transferred from the speaker to the stand, shelf, or cabinet. This will also help to protect the finish of the loudspeaker and the mounting location. The rubber feet add 0.25" to the height of the speaker.
