Boston Acoustics A-200 (c. 1980)
Not much is documented about the Boston Acoustics A-200. The record is mostly two equipment listings from 1980. High Fidelity (1980, p.47) listed it among the speaker systems of the day with a 12-inch woofer, 6-inch cone midrange, and 1-inch dome tweeter, rated at 45 Hz to 20 kHz ±3 dB. A second listing in the same magazine (1980, p.45) gave the price as $350, the weight as 58 pounds, and the dimensions as 41½ by 21 by 6¾ inches - a tall tower, and a very shallow one. That listing also noted each driver was individually fused, the grille was non-reflective and sound-transparent, and the finish was furniture-grade walnut.
Around the same time, HI-Fi-Stereo-Buyers (March 1980, p.17) reported that Boston Acoustics had introduced a new three-way acoustic-suspension speaker system. That matches the A-200's driver complement and construction. No production years or further history are verified. If you have original literature or hands-on experience with the A-200, the Archive would welcome the details.
