Boston Acoustics VR950, Sleek Mini-Tower Speakers

The Boston Acoustics VR950 is a fantastic performer in the middle of Boston’s acclaimed VR Series—a loudspeaker designed to bring together dynamics, elegant industrial design, and advanced acoustic engineering. Introduced in the late 1990s and produced into the early 2000s, the VR950 was the company’s ambitious take on a full-range mini-tower without the use of a powered subwoofer.

The VR950 employs a carefully engineered dual 5.25-inch mid-bass driver array which handles the critical vocal and instrumental range, delivering both presence and accuracy. At the top, Boston’s acclaimed VR dome tweeter with Amplitude Modulation Device (AMD) ensures extended, airy treble free from harshness. This driver complement is laid out to project a broad soundstage with excellent imaging, while maintaining a balanced, neutral tonal signature.

The result is a loudspeaker that plays with both finesse and impact: bass that has great presence and remains tight and musical, a midband that projects voices and instruments with convincing naturalness, and a top end that sparkles while retaining long-term listenability.

Visually, the VR950s stand slender and elegant, with gloss black accents and a no-nonsense cloth "sock" to cover all of the working bits.  These top caps are still covered by their original plastic shrouds which shrink a little and sometimes cracks over time.  This set are in above average shape and only show a minor level of the "shrinkage" problem. 

This is a great sounding system for short money.  Perfect for a home theater front set, or for 2 channel listening.  Price reflects any anomalies, but really a super buy.
