Boston Acoustics BA790 2 Speakers

Pros: compact, digital with good sound
Cons: sound is not so great with analog input

Besides the BA635, there is the BA645 which has 1.5" sats instead of 1" and the same 4.5" woofer/amp. The 790 has the 1.5" sats and a bigger 5.5" woofer/amp. Unlike the 6xx speakers, the 790 woofer has an unusual design- no grill opening- just the large...

Pros: SPDIF Digital input. Sound decent.
Cons: Sub could be stronger.

My old crusty Altec Lansing system needed replacing fairly badly, and I saw these while shopping for something else. The thing that caught my eye was the SPDIF digital input. So, I bought them figuring I could just return them if they sucked.
...

Pros: Very easy setup, clear sound, deep bass, loud volume, speaker controls for volume and bass.
Cons: No longer super "stylish" looking, not a lot of bells and whistles.

INTRO: After more than five years and at least four moves, I recently bought a new computer that came with crappy speakers, so I dug these out of my basement and hooked them up. To my surprise, they still work so perfectly I had to write this review! ...

Pros: SPDIF Digital input, smart(minimal) cabling, quality above any other popular computer speakers (solid feel).
Cons: Lack of flexibility in positioning.

They aren't the newest, and are hard to get, so when I've noticed them on sale refurbished by Tech Depot in Toronto I rushed to buy. These speakers are very solidly built, definitely have a "hi-fi" touch and sound. Digital input is nice to have and...

Pros: Size, price, sound quality
Cons: Amplifer is a little on the weak side

The Boston Acoustics BA790 is a decent performer. The subwoofer is pretty good but it's amplifier isn't really strong. The satellites are well built as well as the subwoofer.

The amplifer includes a digital connection which improves sound...

Pros: Digital and analog inputs, plays fairly loud with low distortion, solid construction for the price.
Cons: A little light in balance in the lower midrange and at the extreme top end.

Knowing Boston Acoustics has a reputation as a quality audio speaker manufacturer, I bought the BA 790 system at BestBuy after listening to the under $100 2.1 competition. The sound was both clean and loud and the bass was full considering the small...

Pros: Excellent Sound Quality, Plenty loud enough.
Cons: Haven't found any yet

I have to admit I bought these on a whim because I had donated my previous speakers to my sons computer. I had been looking at different speakers for a couple months and nothing really caught my eye. One day I was at Best Buy and they had these for $20...

Pros: okay when subwoofer worked
Cons: subwoofer blew out in less than 5 minutes

These speakers sounded good for about 5 minutes. Then the subwoofer blew out. Sure the price was attractive at Best Buy for about $60, but they did not work for me.

The satellite speakers were a bit annoying. The speaker stands are plastic and...

Pros: Good bass,small
Cons: Not many:Not the best,Boston sucks!

First off i want to state that Boston Acoustics is the worst speaker company on the planet.Now onto the review:
PRICE:
These speakers are the best at their price!They beat my $80 set of crap instantly.
Sound:
With the SPL of 99Db i...

Pros: Digital, Price, Sound.
Cons: Slighty underpowered if you really CRANK them

Replaced my older Altecs with no subwoofer. After doing some research, probably one of the best speaker systems for the price. They sound excellent, better than speakers costing three times as much. Only issues are, 1)no tone control, only bass volume,...
