The Boston Acoustics A150 is a classic 3-way, acoustic suspension floor-standing speaker known for its slim profile and accurate East Coast sound. [1, 2]. These sound fantastic but I have other speakers and am downsizing. The photos show their condition with the walnut veneer in great shape. They have glass tops too! These are from the Series 1 early 80's version. These are 45 pounds each. I do not have the original boxes but will pack these carefully to ship.
