Strength:
Full soundstage, price
Weakness:
None Wow! You guys were right! I picked up a floor model, but the cover had a tear in it. Called Boston, they offered to send me a replacement - FREE! Wouldn't even let me pay the shipping. This is a GREAT speaker, if you can still find one - buy it today! Similar Products Used: Bose & JBL |

Strength:
Tremendous power handling ability, awesome sound
Weakness:
NONE This is an incredible speaker. It blows away its competion. This center channel is clear, crisp, and powerful. Fantastic for those who love to watch movies in 5.1. Boston did a bad thing when they downgraded to the VR920 and raised the priced $200. DUMB!! However, if you still have the oportunity to pick up a VR12 DO IT!! Similar Products Used: Boston VR10 |

It's huuuuuge..... Got this unit on closeout for 239.99 US! This thing is big, but it puts out! Crisp, clear and powerful soundstage. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, can touch this for under $300.00. Similar Products Used: Polk Audio CS200 (which is now for sale!) |

BY FAR THIS IS THE BEST CENTER SPEAKER EVER MADE.I FOUND THAT THE VR-12 HAS NOT ONLY THE CLEANEST,TIGHTEST BASS OF ALL CENTER CHANNEL SPEAKERS THAT I'VE EVER HEARD.YOU CAN HEAR SOUNDS ON THIS BAD BOY THAT YOU WILL NEVER HEAR ON ANY OTHER.
Weakness:
THE ONLY WEAKNESS IS HAVING ENOUGH TIME TO LISTEN TO THEM. A MUST OWN FOR ANY TRUE HOME THEATRE LOVER.I HAVE OWNED THIS SPEAKER FOR 6 MONTHS AND CAN'T SEEM TO FIND ANYTHING BETTER. Similar Products Used: NONE |

If you want vocals that are clean and bass that is tight and punchy the VR-12 center is the speaker! |

Strength:
Realistic. Heavy bass. Warranty.
Weakness:
Heavy as h**l. Can this cause my 50" Toshiba to sag? I wanted a reasonably close sound match to my 1985 build, Boston Series II A150's. The V12 is great. No complaints except I paid too much from the local dealer ($400), since I could not find them on-line over a year ago. Similar Products Used: Bought a silly $200 Bose center while looking. |

None so far I bought this center speker to replace my PSB 8C speaker,PSB is not a bad speaker for me.Till I hear the Boston Acoustics VR12 ;I know what I have been missing is the vocals and on-screen effects are so natural with VR12.The sound is tight,clean and smooth.Highly recommanded.

Size?
Weakness:
many,many Bought after a ton of research and found it really does not live up to reviews, my old sound dynamics is far better quality, and much better sound, poor highs, very garbled lows, not a high quality speaker, buying name I think, Energy/Polk much better.
