I'm in the middle of building a house and I can choose between having 6" 1/2" Proficient speaker installed or I can pay an extra fee for the same size in a Boston Acoustic speaker. I know nothing about the Proficient speakers other than they are owned by Speakercraft and that they have Kevlar drivers. I'm leaning towards the Boston Acoustics but it is an $80 up charge per speaker sets. Any advice?

Where are you planning to have these speakers installed and how to you plan to use them?

The Proficient gear is a fantastic value. Save that $80 per pair and put it towards something else.

I'm going to have them installed in different areas of the house for non critical listening (kitchen, bedroom etc).

I have a pair of BA's in-ceilings but I haven't installed them yet. It likely won't be for another 2 weeks either.


There is an add'l 20% off coupon for the refurbs: REFURB20


(I haven't tried the code, so YMMV)


Maybe it will narrow the price gap.
