5.1 Speaker System Delivers High-Performance Audio

Including a subwoofer and five satellite speakers, the SoundWare XS 5.1 Home Theater System delivers big sound from a small package. Each finely tuned speaker features compact driver placement and quality system-specific crossovers for complete audio coverage.

The system is also expandable--you can add satellite speakers to the package for 7.1 channel surround sound (additional SoundWare XS Satellite Speakers sold separately).

BassTrac Provides Powerful Bass Without Distortion

The dedicated 8-inch powered subwoofer features BassTrac technology, a proprietary circuit that maximizes bass output while avoiding overload. Its 100-watt (250-watt peak) amplifier and acoustically tuned port ensure powerful low-frequency reproduction of the most demanding audio.

Satellite Speakers Create Enveloping Surround Sound

Each of the five two-way satellite speakers features a high-performance 2-1/2-inch woofer and a 1/2-inch dome tweeter for deep lows and crisp highs. Each satellite speaker also includes MagnaGuard magnetic shielding, which ensures its magnetic field does not interfere with your television picture.

Satellites Sit or Mount at Any Angle

The five SoundWare XS satellite speakers are sized for easy placement in any room. Use the included articulating mounting brackets to position them at any angle, or simply attach the adhesive-backed rubber feet to keep them in place on a shelf.

Fast, Clutter-Free Wire Hookups

Wire installation is easy thanks to the easy-guide wire channel on the back of each satellite speaker. The convenient design can accommodate wire sizes up to 18 gauge, and it keeps wires neat and out of sight for a clutter-free appearance.

The Boston Acoustics SoundWare XS 5.1 Home Theater System is backed by a five-year warranty.

I purchased this Boston Acoustics 5.1 system to go in my new projector room. I was looking for a smaller speaker package to get the most out of my projection wall without speakers sticking out. The speaker system comes with really nice speaker mounts that were really easy to install and the system doesn't stick out at all in the room but still manages to deliver excellent sound for movies and sporting events. I did purchase another boston center channel speaker to get 6.1 sound out of my system which I would recommend to others wanting the extra back speaker.

Received the speakers on time. I replaced my tower speakers with these because I purchased flat panel and room constraints. They sound great, am going to purchase new amp next.

BA SoundWare 5.1 speaker package is a very nice speaker package. I bought this due to the minimal footprint and the look of the speakers, knowing that they were not the loudest. Having said that, I'm very happy with the sound. It gets plenty loud. If you are considering these speakers, it obvious that comparing the sound quality to floor standing speakers is idiotic. However, the sound quality is good, suprisingly good. The mounting bracket that came with it are supurb and saved me the trouble of purchasing them. The appearance is clean and stylish, and the small package of the speakers does not stick out in a room. I only had minor trouble fitting the wires to the speaker posts (I would recommend 16 gauge or thinner). Very happy with the purchase, it looks discrete and sounds great. I recommend to anyone looking for a speaker package that won't take up much room, like shelve or floor speakers.
