Who is using Boston Acoustics XS and is willing to share experiences? I have a few questions about this system.

Please let me know, either here or via PM, thanks a lot!!!
 
Thanks Clare, I only can't seem to figure out if it is possible to contact members directly.

My main question really is wherther these little speakers need to be positioned in a certain way (next to and/or at same level of the TV for example) for optimal performance, or if I could position them in each top-corner of my living room. Room is about 9m wide, 5m deep and 3m high.

Anybody a clue?
 
Hi,

I have the Boston Acoustics Soundware XS and can confirm that these speakers sound remarkable even in a room based on your specs. In my living room, I was forced to have the two front speakers mounted on the upper corners and the two rears on the ceiling positioned behind the sofa/listening area. I had bought my house with the walls and ceilings already setup with pipes for speaker wires. It would have looked unsightly to leave the holes as is or painted/plastered over. But I must say that the speakers coupled with my Denon AVR-1911 receiver sound phenomenal despite my "compromise". So I think you shouldn't have any major problems. Test it out! 🙂

Hope this helps. Good luck!

Thanks a lot Qwantum!! I will go for the BA XS set, together with a Denon 1611/1911 or Onkyo 508/608. Now all I have to do is find a good deal 🙂

I temporarily live in Rome for work. Since most UK websites do not ship to Italy due to insurance issues, does anybody have some advice on how to get a good deal? I saw amazon.co.uk has a good offer (GBP 318 for the speakers) and they ship for only 26 quid.
 
Not a problem, jj! 🙂 Either receiver will make a great companion piece to the BA XS set.

Unfortunately, I can not help you on finding a good deal since I'm in Sweden. But that Amazon offer sounds like a good one. Good luck!
 
Hi Quantum

Sorry to hijack the thread, but I also live in Sweden and am looking for good dealers for Marantz/Denon/Monitor Audio equipment. Is Hi Fi Klubben my only real choice?? And also how do you find the 1911? I'm also torn between that and the Onkyo.

Cheers
 
Hello there, Godriah!

Yes, unfortunately, Hi-Fi Klubben is your only choice since they are apparently an exclusive seller of Denon receivers in Sweden.

I am VERY impressed by the 1911's performance. It has a lot of power, more than enough, for my living room which is an open space.
