Our take on the Boston Acoustics SoundWare

by Loren Barstow

Enjoy great sound anywhere around your home with Boston Acoustics SoundWare speakers. They feature a compact cabinet that fits easily on shelves, walls, and ceilings. The back of the enclosure sports a unique multi-sided shape, so you can mount the SoundWare at a variety of angles. Set them on a shelf, or up in a corner aimed down toward your listening position. For even greater placement flexibility, simply attach the included pivoting mounting bracket.

This versatile speaker can be used outdoors as well. Mount a pair on your porch or deck to listen to your favorite tunes while doing yard work, cooking out, or just lounging.

The SoundWare speaker comes in seven different colors to suit just about any décor. Plus, you can paint the cabinet and grille for a perfect match with your home's interior or exterior wall color.

      Overview: The Boston Acoustics SoundWare speaker is a compact, high performance speaker that can be placed virtually anywhere. Its unique geometric shape gives you multiple mounting and placement options.

      Mounting Options

      Driver Technology

      Tweeter: The SoundWare speaker is equipped with a 3/4" fabric tweeter. The tweeter is suspended over the woofer on a "bridge."

      Woofer: The SoundWare has a 4-1/2" treated paper woofer with a rubber surround.

      Enclosure Design

      Enclosure: The speaker features an acoustic suspension enclosure.

      Color Options: The SoundWare speaker comes in seven standard colors: black, bamboo, espresso, just red, silver, natural, and white. If one of the standard colors doesn't match your décor, the speaker and removable grille can be painted to any color you desire.

      Mounting Options

      Indoor/Outdoor: The speaker is made of weather-resistant materials, so you can place it outdoors as well as indoors.

      Placement Options: SoundWare's unique design allows you to place the speaker on a shelf or mount it on a wall. The supplied mounting hardware allows you to mount it flush or in a corner, and its pivoting mounting bracket lets you aim the sound where you want it. The speaker also includes a 1/4"-20 threaded insert for aftermarket wall-mount brackets or stands, and a tab for attaching a security device.

      Mounting Hardware: Included with the speaker is an assortment of mounting hardware. Two metal keyhole-slot brackets are included; one for a flat wall and one for a corner. If you use a keyhole-slot bracket, you must attach the supplied pivoting ball mount to the speaker. The pivoting ball mount allows the speaker to pivot 20° in either direction and pivot down up to 40° when mounted to a flat wall. The corner mount bracket will not allow the speaker to pivot side-to-side. A set screw keeps the speaker from moving once it has been positioned.

      Great value for the price paid

      Written By HMPR, Puerto Rico on Thursday, August 30, 2012
      Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
       
      These are good solid speakers but don't expect much bass from them. Made for indoors or outdoors use, the speaker construction and mounting system is outstanding. Audio performance is adequate but as mentioned before, don't expect good bass (3.5 stars). I'm giving the rating another half a star just for the excellent Crutchfield customer service and for the sales price.
      Pros:
      Outstanding construction and mounting system
      Cons:
      Bass

      Easy to install, package includes two brackets: one for mounting on flat walls, one for mounting in corners. The sound is good outdoors around our office door. Would recommend after one week use

      Boston Acoustics, not Bose but worth the price.

      Written By Gregory, Maryville, TN on Sunday, February 01, 2009
      Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
       
      Multiple mounting configurations came in handy as I mounted one on a wall and one in a corner. Sound response is above average albeit weak in bass. Sensitivity is not comparable to the two Bose 151s that came with the house but acceptable. The price was good, I like the look and the mounting options, but 4/5 stars because the sound could be a little better. They're not Bose but then they're not as expensive and, overall, they work fine.

      Excellent speaker for multi-room setup.

      Written By Daniel, Gillette, NJ on Sunday, May 25, 2008
      Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
       
      I bought 8 of these to use in a multi-room music setup. They are packaged extremely well, and the included mounting kits work great. The sound is decent, assuming you aren't expecting a lot of bass. Great value for the price. I only wish they were a little smaller.
