Strength:
Excellent control with adequate clean power
Weakness:
Integral bracket may tempt wall mounting and ruin the sound
Very difficult to beat the BA VRB set-up. Not my favorite for HT however very competent for 2-channel listening or multi-channel formats. Bass is usable to 40HZ and is best described as musically tight or crisp. Mids are thankfully not dialed up for movie dialogue/sound effects and the treble (if it errs at all) leans to the slightly warm side--that is not a detriment. As the other reviewer stated; the VRB's will announce lukewarm equipment. It doesn't need to be top dollar stuff as I've switched various components and finally settled right back where I started. The pair is driven by a modestly priced Yamaha M-45 that controls them very, very well. I wasn't crazy with either of my Integrated units about the sound. One Yamaha and one Denon each having 110 watts full spectrum didn't do the speakers justice--the difference was noticable even considering the time consuming chore of swapping cables. Customer Service Boston Acoustics is generally been excellent with my parts requests. Similar Products Used: I don't want to go there. Might cause me to think about all the good things in life I could have spent my cash instead of Audio. |
