Boston Acoustics Exits Car AudioFebruary 23, 2012 by Amy GilroyFiled under Car News, Home Page Featured, Industry news5 CommentsBoston Acoustics, a 23-year fixture in the car audiophile market is exiting the 12 volt aftermarket as of April. The company will instead focus on its home audio products including speakers, soundbars and radios, and will also enter new home audio categories, said Sanjay Sharma, national sales manager of Boston Mobile Audio.The maker of GT amps and PRO speakers informed reps and key accounts this week, that it will exit the market by the end of April. It has retained its manufacturer reps through that time period to ease the transition, it said.Most of Boston’s inventory will be kept by the company to honor warranties.Sharma said of the market exit, “This was not an easy decision. We had analyzed both businesses and we were really focused on growth. As a result we wanted to sharpen our focus on product categories related to the home.”Boston Acoustics is owned by D&M Holdings which also owns Denon, Marantz, McIntosh Laboratory, Snell Acoustics and other brands.Source: CEoutlook
February 25, 201213 yr That sux, Boston has nice equipment. At least we might be able to pick up some great gear at some closeout prices!
February 25, 201213 yr Great equipment. Maybe SSA will buyout some of their product and offer insane pricing on it. I have one of their amps still installed and had a 4ch for a bit. Great power.
