Boston Accoustic VR975, Need some input please.


I auditioned the VR975 a while back and was pretty impressed with their sound for home theater. These are power towers with an active and radiating sub. If any one has experience with these in any way, please throw out your .02 either good, bad, or ugly. Thanks, Chris.

Having owned & auditioned may BA speakers over the years. When my cousin was searching to audition different speakers for which would be great for HT, Boston was mentioned for his short list. My cousin is a major Videophile 85% Video / 15% Audio, & due to lack of space internal sub was his requirement!

Two sets of ears are always better when getting ready to slam down a wad of hard earned cash for a pair of new speakers. So it didn't take too much to convince me to come along! He narrowed it down to Klipsh & Mirage, I mentioned the Bostons & now discontinued B&W 605 series 2.

Not to write War & Peace, Klipsh was eliminated asap, yet the other contenders went a few rounds.

IMO Boston has a lot to offer as far as a speaker, however their Subs are sumwhat lacking for anything other than a Digital Explosion. I have never been keen on internal subs, but then that is just my opinion.

Your music taste will have alot to do with their audio use. If your into Rap, Death Metal then they will shake the house!!!

For Jazz, or Classical they are they totally fall apart, BOOM, BOOM, MUSH, MUSH.

So are they a great HOME THEATER speaker sure, but past that point they just don't cut the mustard.

My cousin finally after 4-6 month settled on the Mirage OM-5 or OM-6, multi-directional & an internal sub.

How do they sound? In My Opinion, DAMN GOOD ALL THE WAY AROUND, yet never tell him that I said that!!! :0)~

***Good Luck***
