Boston Acoustics I think is coming to an end.
For 10 years now they have been dropping sku's, including all the great models that made them great.
For the last 5 years, they have fire sales on their own website to customers, many times cheaper than dealer cost is. No new product since then either.
This last year, all that is left is their cheap contractor series stuff. The Voyager outdoor speakers are the only things left that are good.

Reps will tell you that everything is fine and Boston is not going anywhere. LOL!!! Have no idea what they are smoking but it is obvious that Boston has already left the building. Just a matter of when manufacturing will shut down on what they still make. And inventory runs out. 1, 2, 3 years maybe? If there is still new product in 5 years, I would be highly shocked.

Fins,
I would seriously look at putting a different brand speaker in. Explain to the customer that the market has changed A LOT in 10 years and those speakers are either not available anymore or will have no support going forward.
I know KEF has speakers that would fit a lot of the BA rings.
