Our Thoughts RADAR AI

Condition is unknown, so I’d still call €120 a touch above the median rather than a steal, but it’s only slightly over the €110 benchmark and sits just over the €115 75th percentile, so this is more fair-to-firm than overpriced. With just two recent comps, the spread is tight enough that €120 is not a red flag, but it also doesn’t scream bargain.

What makes it appealing is the A23’s reputation as a very usable, easy-to-place bookshelf speaker with balanced, room-friendly sound and solid dialogue/music performance for home cinema. If the pair is complete, cosmetically decent, and the drivers are original, there’s sensible value here; if condition is truly unknown, I’d mainly verify tweeter and woofer health, grille fit, and matching serials before paying full ask.

Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.

About Boston Acoustics

Boston Acoustics emerged in 1979 from the innovative spirit of America's Northeast audio scene, founded by Advent veterans Andy Kotsatos and Frank Reed in Lynnfield, Massachusetts. Drawing on their experience at pioneering firms like KLH and Advent, the duo established the company to craft high-quality loudspeakers that balanced engineering precision with musical fidelity. Their early flagship, the A70, quickly earned acclaim in the 1980s for its exceptional sound, setting a foundation rooted in MIT-level expertise and a commitment to superior design at accessible prices.

The brand focused primarily on speakers across diverse categories, including home bookshelf and floorstanding models, custom architectural installations, and robust car audio systems. They expanded into surround sound solutions for home theater and even ventured into compact computer speakers and outdoor options like the SoundWare series, while maintaining a core emphasis on transducers rather than amplifiers, turntables, or headphones.

Positioned as a mid-tier powerhouse, Boston Acoustics built a sterling reputation for value-driven performance that punched above its price, appealing to discerning audiophiles through dealer networks and later direct sales. Acquired by D&M Holdings in 2005 and integrated into Sound United by 2017, the brand's legacy endures among vintage collectors for its engineering excellence, though active production has ceased.
