 This is one of four new home entertainment credenzas that Bassett is launching in partnership with entertainment components manufacturer Boston Acoustics.
BASSETT, Va. — Bassett Furniture Inds. has partnered with audio systems manufacturer Boston Acoustics to launch a line of entertainment credenzas with surround sound technology.

This is the first time Bassett has partnered with an audio company and the first time Boston Acoustics has partnered with a furniture manufacturer.
The Nvelop line includes four credenzas targeted to retail from $1,499 to $1,999. The wood credenzas have a built-in 150-watt Boston Acoustics soundbar and Boston’s Digitally Optimized Virtual Surround subwoofer technology that produces surround sound effects.

The units also feature a six-inch subwoofer hidden inside the cabinet and a built in mini-stereo jack in a drawer for iPods, MP3 players and computer audio connections.

Other features include vented shelves for placement of additional audio and video components, a four-outlet power strip for wire management, a cloth grille and specially designed acoustical gaskets on the back of furniture panels.

The largest of the units, priced at $1,999, is 75 inches wide, 22 inches deep and 38 inches high and the smallest, priced at $1,499, is 50 inches wide, 20 inches deep and 32 inches high.

“For the first time at retail under $2,000, American families will be able to bring big sound to their family rooms while avoiding all the clutter of speakers and wires, or the expense of installing a wall mounted home theater system,” said Jason Camp, senior vice president of retail at Bassett Furniture, said in a statement.

Eli Harary, senior vice president of Boston Acoustics, said that through Nvelop, “Furniture and flat-panel TV literally merge to create a total home entertainment system that not only adds style and panache to any interior decor, but also brings power, quality, and dynamic audio punch to TV, movies, gaming and music listening.”
