Peabody, MA, August 13, 2007 — Boston Acoustics, Inc., a world-renowned manufacturer of high-performance loudspeakers and entertainment products, is making great multi-channel music and home theater surround sound simpler and more stylish with the upcoming introduction of its two new Horizon Series 5.1-Channel Surround Sound Loudspeaker Systems, Models MCS 130
(SRP: $799.99) and MCS 100 (SRP: $499.99).
Both Boston Horizon Series systems are designed to give consumers an easy way to add the dynamics and excitement of room-filling multi-channel audio to their home entertainment. In addition to their leading-edge sound reproduction technologies, the new systems feature a variety of design enhancements and aesthetic touches, such as gently contoured speaker cabinets and color-coordinated rubber trim, providing a stylish alternative to traditional surround sound speaker systems.
“Play Smart” with Boston P.O.P.
Both systems feature the Boston Personal Options Plan (P.O.P.) design concept, which makes it easy for customers to express their personal taste and style and individualize the look of their systems. With P.O.P., owners can customize the look of their product using easily removable cloth grilles that are available in a wide variety of colors, including Glacier, Rosebud, Onyx, Pearl Gray, Caramel, Chocolat, Silver, and Chili Pepper.

All speakers feature integrated wall-mounting brackets and adjustable table-top footings for total installation flexibility.
