Tracking down family-friendly, house-trained loudspeakers can be a trial - especially if you want decent sound. Claiming to have solved that particular conundrum is Boston Acoustics, whose new SoundWare range promises all of the above - and can be used in the bathroom, shower or outdoors too.
Boston says the 6-inch square SoundWare is the result of a new approach to speaker design - one that focuses on maximum flexibility, convenience and sound... all without turning your home into a hi-fi shop.
Speakers should be heard, not seen
For maximum domestic bliss the SoundWare is available in seven different colours - just red, expresso, bamboo, natural, white, black and silver - and can be painted so it can be perfectly matched to your décor.
Tech-head Dads will be pleased to hear that the Boston Acoustics SoundWare uses a two-way speaker cabinet with a 20mm high frequency tweeter and a 114mm mid-range/bass woofer. Power handling capability is a maximum 100W. Frequency response is pegged at 90Hz-20kHz (±3dB) with 8 ohms impedance and 87dB sensitivity. Each speaker measures 157mm x 157mm x 167mm and weighs 2.22kg.
The SoundWare is available now for £150 a pair. Call 01753 28794 for more info and stockists.
