Boston Acoustics MCS 100 Satellite

The Boston Acoustics MCS 100 Satellite is a satellite bookshelf speaker that sports a 3” treated fiber midrange and one ¾” Kortec soft dome tweeter. Designed to complement the MCS 130 LCR center and MCS 130 surround speakers, the MCS 100 Satellite is essentially a downgrade from the larger, more powerful HS 40/50/60 speakers from the Horizon HS series.

Nevertheless, the MCS 100 still maintains many of its competitor’s features such as a Deep Channel Design for greater bass per less amp power, a Reduced Baffle Diffraction Design for wider/smoother dispersion, and MagnaGuard video shielding. The MCS 100, however, also includes a vented enclosure for deeper bass output, not to mention a omni-directional mounting bracket, built-in wall mount brackets, and a unique wedge shape for simpler/easier mounting/positioning of the speaker. The Boston Acoustics MCS 100 Satellite is priced at $89.99 and includes an optional color-coded P.O.P. grille for $8.99 extra. Despite its smaller driver and tweeter, the MCS 100 Satellite still stands out as a prime optional because it delivers “exceptionally articulate on-screen dialog, music effects, and room-filling bass from a small,  sleek, and compact package.”
