Price Paid:
$0.00 Summary:
The Boston Acoustics VRS Pro's are now discontinued. They are Lucas' THX certified and are an audiophile's "BEST BUY" for the money. Their dipole surround sound dispersion emulates the superior quality of speakers that cost three times as much. The white models are the most sought after as they disappear when placed against a white ceiling or rear walls. Since they are no longer manufactured, their price is destined to climb as they are indeed classic speakers with technology that will live on without being superceded. The only reason that Boston Acoustics quit this model is that the frame maker of these acoustic marvels went out of business. These same speakers would be quite costly to retool and sell today. If you can get your hands on a set, jump at the chance -- if for no other reason, the VRS Pro's are a great investment with escalating value in the very near future. Listen to a set played aloud at THX standards and turn off the front main three speakers just to capture the sonic quality and strength of these THX giants as they pump out realistic, diffused (dipole) movie tracks that envelop your senses. Play critical music and you will be amazed at the clarity and unlimited range of these speakers. Again, look no further than a set of VRS Pro's to finish your 5.1 or 7.1 systems (for rear side speakers). These speakers epitomize performance and monetary value combined. TRUST ME! Strengths:
Superior surround, dipole movie soundtrack performance. Envelops the listening experience without pinpointing the exact location of the speakers. Distinguished THX power handling capability or Lucas would not have accredited these stellar performers.
Beautiful in white as they literally disappear into the ceiling or side walls. Impressive styling -- a shame they are no longer being made; however, those very few of us that own these models take pride in our selective purchase prior to the frame maker going out of business. The VRS Pro's also are appreciating in value as these speakers were constructed to last decades without any degradation of performance or cabinet finish. Weaknesses:
None noted. The THX certification says it all with regards to performance. The cabinet finish is superb. The VRS Pro's are robustly constructed. Similar Products Used:
Polk Audio rear speakers - high end models; Cambridge Newton S300 rear speakers, and even tried Paradigm models. The Boston Acoustics VRS Pro's clearly outperformed all models tested in my home. I will say that the Polks were accurate; however, they did not stand up to the THX standards like the VRS Pro's.
