Krachtige boston pv500 actieve subwoofer in hoogglans zwart. Deze subwoofer levert diepe en strakke bassen, ideaal voor zowel muziek als home cinema. De hoogglans afwerking geeft een luxe uitstraling
Condition is unknown, so €85 lands as a fair-to-good ask rather than an obvious steal. Recent used listings cluster around roughly €60–€90 for rough-to-average examples, with cleaner tested units often pushing a bit above that, so this sits close to the middle of the market and is reasonable if it’s complete and working properly.
What makes it worth a look is the PV500’s solid reputation as a compact, musical 10-inch powered sub: it’s more about tight, usable bass than showroom boom, which suits small to medium rooms well. At this price, the big upside is getting a known Boston unit without paying “collector” money; just make sure the amp wakes up cleanly, the driver isn’t rubbing, and the power cord or input cabling is included, since missing basics would shave value quickly.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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.
