What is the difference between the Special Edition and standard XS model speakers?

Thanks for your question. The Special Edition is Gloss Black finish. This is a fantastic sounding speaker system. World Wide Stereo is 35 years old and a very proud Boston Acoustics dealer.

Pretty much the same they both sound good, I'm not picky enough to notice the difference

I'm not sure I noticed that difference, ans I too had the original. The only gripe I have with the new one is that they tried ti get too cute with the Street2 and add a bass boost that cannot be turned off. I liked the sound of the original better allowing me to adjust the equalization at the source.

For me it was the lower price for the older model. I use my BS-21LR for the rear surround speakers and they do a very nice job for me. It doesn't matter to me that they don't exactly match the newer model Pioneer SP-FS52 LR front speakers and matching center speaker. I also used the older model subwoofer to save $$. If price is a concern for you, it's where you can cut on a surround system without sacrificing looks or performance.

Hardware wise they are the same. Looks and Audio presets are slightly different.

They are not the same. Series one speakers are their entry level speakers. They are also 8 inch as opposed to the7's which are 7 inch. That being said they are great speakers worth the money. The 8's will have much stronger base and sound bigger than the 7's but they are slightly less detailed. However you may not be able to tell the difference in the detail unless you are used to listening to 10K+speakers. But you will clearly hear the bigger sound and the base of the 8's.

The pic your looking at is the older model that is not available. The newer one's do have exexternal speakers! I love these head phones!

Before I bought them I went to best buy and they had the exact same version 5.0 which I think refers to the configuration, which is 5 speakers. They were about 200 dollars more than Amazon so I bought them at Amazon. They have great sound, especially for movies and games through the ps3.

The 4 small speakers are a newer version. They also do not split on the middle like the version IV. You can see this in the product photos. What ever system you get you will be blown away! Best system on the market!

Hi mateI had this pair to and they were ok but leaked sound and the Bass was not as effective as the xb920 The XB920 have more punch to the Bass unlike the XB700s

I just bought 2 extra monoprice premium speakers and used them to make up the 7.1. Amazon sells them in separate pairs. Hope this helps.

The difference between the X and the R are pretty minor. The X depth is much deeper then the R. X has slightly different materail. But over all the X has a better all around sound quality up against the R. I've owned both. But it all comes down to your applications, what amp you are running and is it powered to its full potential, etc. I own the X and prefer it over the R.

They're basically the same, except with a (built in) lower cross-over point from mid range a high range. So, these (depending on how you look at it) are either "bassier," or "have less treble." Although I believe the cross-over point isn't much different. So essentially the same speaker.

The only difference is size. Sound projection/volume is all based on the player.

They are in my opinion the exact same. I use the TSI 400's with a CS 10 center and a Polk 10" sub, and Polk in the back, and an Onkyo head unit. The TSI's have a great mid and highs and are said to have great bass(I keep my sub at tolerable levels). The bass coming from the TSI's and sub is incredible!! Movies or music, they rock!!The specs are basically the same but the TSI's are "newer" with piano finish and such. I am very happy with them!!!

The only difference I noticed was cosmetic stuff- logos, and the voices when it powers up, etc. If you buy a refurb though do so at your own risk... I'd suggest buying new.

As others say, it's not clear what the difference is. I will say, the unit I have is very good and has performed flawlessly. That said, I have only listened to a few soundbars. As I stated in my review (last year) they put a glued on sticker on the front of the plastic speaker grill - it took at least 30 minutes of hot water and elbow grease to scrape it off (there are hundreds of tiny holes on the grill and bits of paper were stuck in the holes) - ugh! Hopefully that's not the case any more.
