Boston Acoustics has long been synonymous with quality audio systems, and their 251 and 261 speakers exemplify this commitment to excellence. These models are designed to deliver exceptional sound in a variety of settings, making them a popular choice for audio enthusiasts.

The Boston Acoustics 251 speakers are engineered for outdoor use, featuring a rugged, weather-resistant construction that allows them to withstand the elements. Their sleek design, available in a variety of colors, ensures that they can blend seamlessly into any environment, whether it be a patio, garden, or pool area. With a power handling capability of 200 watts per speaker, the 251s are capable of producing a powerful sound that can fill a large outdoor space.

A standout feature of the 251 is its patented Acoustic Lens Technology. This innovative design enables the speaker to create a wide sound dispersion, providing an immersive audio experience. The 5.25-inch polypropylene cone woofer delivers tight and punchy bass, while the 1-inch soft dome tweeter ensures clear highs and a balanced sound profile. This combination results in a rich audio experience that will elevate any outdoor gathering.

On the other hand, the Boston Acoustics 261 speakers are more suited for indoor use, delivering high-quality audio performance in a compact and stylish package.

The 261 features two 6.5-inch woofers and a 1-inch tweeter, delivering an expansive frequency response that caters to a broad range of musical genres.

Both models incorporate advanced technology to ensure optimal audio performance. The speakers utilize a proprietary bass reflex design, allowing for enhanced low-frequency response without distortion. The innovative design minimizes cabinet vibrations, resulting in cleaner sound reproduction. Additionally, the speakers include mounting options that make installation straightforward, whether on walls or stands.

The Boston Acoustics 251 and 261 are built for durability and performance, proving that quality sound can be achieved in both indoor and outdoor environments.
