(More customer reviews)So you know some of my background, I work as an engineer in the Audio recording and Broadcast Television industries for more than 25yrs. and have been an audiophile ever since I can remember. Last summer, I purchased a Boss 6" 2-way component speaker system for my Buick Century front doors. They were extremely affordable at $25 for the set, spec'd out very well on paper, and had more than ample power handling capabilities to match my amp. To be honest, I had never heard of Boss Audio until I bought a Boss CX1800 5 Ch. amp(80WRMSx4 & 200WRMSx1 @ .01%THD sig./noise > 105 dB) for this system, also having great specs on paper. I generally don't buy any audio gear without first listening to them, but I went purely on the specs quoted and price was a big factor. I installed the amp before buying the speakers and I was absolutely blown away at the clarity and punch of the Boss Amp driving the new set of Sony X-Plode 6x9 3-ways(also and excellent sounding spkr.) in the rear and the factory door speakers as well as the 12" 2 Ohm sub in my trunk! Having been so impressed with the amp, I figured why not try their speakers. So I bought the 2-way component system that uses this very tweeter. Again I was amazed at the clarity and soundstage of these tweeters. My son liked them so much, he bought a set to replace his blown Alpines. He only needed the woofers so the tweeters got set aside. He was also pleased and happy that he saved $80 since he didn't have to by another set of Alpines.
So recently I have been rebuilding an old pair of JBL L19's and needed a pair of tweeters. I figured I would pull out the Boss pair and give them a try. Feeding them a pristine 75W audio signal from my Van Alstine modified Dynaco 150 and listening to the movie soundtrack from "Beyond the Sea" with Kevin Spacey(Excellent recording), I was once again blown away at the detail, clarity and texture of the vocals, horns, drums and cymbals. Effortless and very musical. Mind you, these are relatively small 2-way cabinets with 8" woofers crossed-over at 2.5KHz., but the sound was full and plenty loud only peaking at about -7db on my meters! I walked the soundstage to about 180 degrees off-axis and there was hardly any drop in level or detail in the high end. Fantastic dispersion. I couldn't be happier if I had purchased tweeters at 3 times the cost. Can you tell that I am very pleased with my Boss purchases? I think you will be too!
