News: Boston Acoustics SoundWare XS 5.1 loudspeaker system

Boston Acoustics has announced the release of their new SoundWare XS 5.1 speaker system, here are the full details…

The SoundWare XS 5.1 loudspeaker system is an ultra-compact 5.1 speaker system that brings a new level of style and substance, for the price, to the surround sound market.
It allows users to enjoy rich, room-filling surround sound with their home entertainment systems, while complementing virtually any decor in a stylish, yet subtle (even virtually
unnoticeable, if desired) manner.
The system’s five ultra-compact – they are easily held in the palm of your hand – SoundWare XS satellites are real two-way speakers (unlike many competitors). Each features a high performance 2 1/2-inch (64mm) woofer and a 1/2-inch (13mm) tweeter. The design features Boston Acoustics’ signature polyhedron shape, for a cleaner sound by reducing standing waves.
The satellites also embrace a unique articulating mounting bracket, which allows for an unprecedented range of easy and flexible placement options, while the designs can be painted
to match any décor or even placed outside, thanks to their weather proof build.
The subwoofer, matching the satellites in either black or white, features a 100-watt (250 watts peak) amplifier and 8-inch (20cm) graphite injected polymer woofer. This utilizes Deep Channel® Design (DCD) – a method for designing the magnetics of the loudspeaker motor structure to optimally use materials to obtain the greatest stroke of the woofer unit – for more bass from less amplifier power. Meanwhile, the company’s proprietary BassTrac® circuit tracks and controls low frequencies to keep the bass clean, tight, and distortion-free at all listening levels. The design has an acoustically tuned port for improved bass output.
The SoundWare XS 5.1 speaker system delivers exceptionally articulate on-screen dialogue, music, effects, and room-filling bass from a small, sleek package. Compact driver placement, high quality components, and system-specific crossovers assure a wide uniform dispersion for complete coverage of a listening room.
Wall brackets are included for easy installation of all five satellite speakers.
