| djones64's Full Review: Boston Acoustics BA4800 4 Speakers |
I read the reviews in epinions when considering which speakers to buy. Usually, I wouldn't bother writing a review, but I was too impressed not to. For the sound enthusiasts; do not hesitate to buy these speakers especially if you can get them for around $100. You will not be sorry. No distortion when powering up or when adjusting volume. Excellent surround sound and excellent, deep, rich bass response. Controls for each are very sensitive and specific! Hope you don't live in tight quarters because you will definitely disturb with these. The higher you turn them up the better they sound! Assembly is a snap because of the excellent directions. Rear speakers have twenty feet of cord. Satellites are compact and solid. Rear speaker stands could be a little more solid, but are adequate. Subwoofer is pretty big-gonna need some space for that sucker(hope you don't have big feet!) Get rid of your factory sound card. There are plenty of good ones for cheap out there! Check out ebay for some soundblaster live! cards. Don't waste these with some junk. You can get a good one for about $35! That is what I am rocking the 5.1 version. An excellent marriage, but you need a premium sound card to make these perform optimally. Because of their power you will hear a lot of noise with cheap cards. If you are serious about your sound for games or music or movies and you want to spend under $150, you will not be sorry.
