4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent sound - Grade A, February 28, 2008

By	LudVanB (St Louis, MO) - See all my reviews

This is a great system of speakers. Well-built, good looking, durable, good connections, but MOST importantly - great sound. The subwoofer is a MONSTER of good bass! I am extremely pleased with this surround sound system, better than any I have ever had. The only reason I am giving this product 4 stars, rather than 5 is that the overall depth of sound is not quite as sharp as I expected. The rear channels are too average for a 5 star rating. The center and front speakers are really good. This is an outstanding, overall diverse and powerful set of speakers for anything from watching James Bond to a Pavarotti concert. Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Good Speakers, February 5, 2008

By	fishhook (Houston) - See all my reviews

I'm no audiophile but I bought this speaker system along with a Denon 788 receiver to replace a Sony surround soud system that came with my house. For a speaker set these speaker have really good sound. The larger center and front speakers have two woofers and one tweeter. The rear have a woofer and tweeter. These sound much better than the Sony system with its one way speakers. The subwoofer has very good bass and has yet to distort.
The only complaint than I have is that out of the box there is a plastic tab that in order to remove you have to remove the speaker grill. While doing this I manage to break off one of the posts that hold the grill to the speaker. I called Boston Acoustics and they did send a replacement, no questions asked. The grills are very fragile so use caution.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Buy!!, September 14, 2008

Amazon Verified Purchase

I Installed the Boston MCS-130 system two weeks ago after purchase from audioextreme at amazon.com .
The 200watt downfiring subwoofer gives the sense the bass is coming from all around,as it should, shakes my entire entertainment room. speakers provide a very diverse and clear range of sound without distortion. I have been trying different music and BD movies to challenge the system and it has performed amazingly well. The sub woofer is not ugly at all, the LCR speakers and surrounds are well designed and fit my decor. I like the rubberized feal, gives the sense of solid construction and very easy to grip when mounting. recessed connectors are more difficult than most but we are not talking science here, just takes an extra minute or two per speaker, Big deal. Also, a set of high quality speaker cables and subwoofer connect cable come with the system, no need to buy new. heavy gauge with marked sheathing, subwoofer is gold plated connector.
In conclusion, for 500 dollars I now have a professional sounding speaker system that has dropped the jaws of every one who has heard it. Very clean with impressive bass. you can even change the color of the grilles to match decor if you need. My PS3 and BD and HDTV are finall sounding the way they were meant, I have the MCS130 connected to a Sony STR DG-520 reciever for a truely kickin 5.1 speaker system for a very reasonable sum of money. this is a fantastic system for 5 or 6 hundred. You will not in any way be sorry. If you have limited space and don't want to spend alot, this system will be everything you want it to be
