Boston Acoustics CS 260 II Review

Earlier this month, Boston Acoustics announced the next generation of its Classic Series of loudspeakers. Our first reaction upon getting the memo was something along the lines of “second generation?...Wait, there was a first generation?”You see, just a few months ago, we reviewed some of the company’s A series loudspeakers, a series which, by BA’s own marketing line, is billed as a speaker with “enduring value.” This led us to believe at the time that we were looking and listening to the speaker line that best represented Boston Acoustics’ interpretation of the value proposition. That very well may be the case, but what we didn’t realize is that if you scroll down...all the way down...to the bottom of any speaker section on Boston’s website you’ll find, almost hidden away, the Classic Series.To some, the term “Classic” evokes the notion of something old, tired, or clung to simply for its nostalgic value. To others it may mean the opposite: an object of enduring timelessness that is to be treasured. Whatever your interpretation of the term may be, we encourage you to set it aside along with any other pre-conceived notions whilst cogitating Boston Acoustic’s budget line of speakers.
