Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers.

On June 23, 2006, Tweeter Home Entertainment Group, Inc. (the "Company") appointed Gregory M. Hunt, age 49, to serve as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Hunt has been employed for the past three years as Co-Chief Executive Officer, Director and Chief Financial Officer of Syratech Corporation. For the three years prior to that Mr. Hunt served as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of NRT Incorporated. Mr. Hunt has also held the position of Vice President and Chief Financial Officer with Culligan Water Technologies, Inc., Astrum International Corporation, and Auburndale Properties, Inc. Mr. Hunt began his career as an auditor with Price Waterhouse and went on to earn a CPA designation.

Under the terms of the employment agreement between the Company and Mr. Hunt, the Company will pay Mr. Hunt a base annual salary of $350,000. Mr. Hunt will also be entitled to an employment commencement bonus of $25,000. The agreement is for an initial three-year term and will be renewed automatically for successive one-year terms unless either party gives notice to the other at least 60 days prior to the expiration of any such term of such party’s intent not to renew. Effective August 1, 2006, the Company will grant to Mr. Hunt an option to purchase up to one hundred thousand shares of the Company’s common stock under the Company’s 2004 Long Term Incentive Plan, with vesting with respect to 25% of the shares on the grant date and an additional 25% on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date.

Under the terms of the employment agreement, Mr. Hunt will be entitled to receive a severance payment equal to one year’s base salary if the Company terminates his employment without "Cause" (as defined in the employment agreement) or fails to renew his employment at the end of the-then current term, or if Mr. Hunt resigns for "Good Reason" (as defined in the employment agreement). Mr. Hunt will be entitled to an additional year’s vesting of shares subject to his initial option grant if, prior to the second anniversary of his employment, the Company terminates his employment without Cause or if Mr. Hunt resigns for Good Reason. In addition, in the event of a change in the members of the Board of Directors of the Company constituting a majority of the entire Board, where such change was not approved by two-thirds of the incumbent directors or by a nominating committee consisting of incumbent directors, Mr. Hunt will be entitled to full vesting of the shares subject to his initial option grant.
