    Boston Acoustics

    I have a VR 5.0 system, VR-M50 (mains), VR-MC (center), and VR-MX (surrounds). I am planning on getting the VR-M/EX for the rear center next. I love the VR line. I bought the M50s first and auditioned speakers from many manufacturers during that time. I also auditioned centers and surrounds...

    Boston Question. VR Owners, what are you using as surrounds.

    It depends on the amount of money that you have. I would definitely try to stay with a surround that has the same driver material. All of the previous recommendations would work well with your 950s. I was recently in the same situation. I needed surrounds to go with my VR-M50s and VR-MC. Since I...

    Speaker wire 12gaug vs. 16 guag

    I recently installed a pair of VR-MX surround using in-wall wire. There are building codes specifying CL rated wire be used because of the aforementioned "fuse" factor. I had runs of 20 and 35 ft and used 14 ga. wire bought at home depot for $.22/ft. It sounds as good as the 12 ga. wire I had...

    Boston Acoustics VS Paradigm

    I'll throw in some more love for the BAs, although it is after the fact. I was in the market a couple of years ago to start my upgrade of my HT system. After many auditions and several companies, I finally opted for the BA VR series over the Paradigm Studio series. I currently have a 5.0 system...

    Need fix on Denon 3802 by Thanksgiving! Please Help!

    It did turn out to be a bad wire connecting the TV audio to the reciever. I do not have a vcr or cable box attached to this TV, so it goes directly from the TV to the reciever. I first pulled the connection and replaced it tightly. That made the difference for a few days, but then I had the same...

    Need fix on Denon 3802 by Thanksgiving! Please Help!

    I'm having a ton of family over for thanksgiving and I have recently noticed that my right main speaker only plays a slight hissing noise while watching TV. The only other source I have hooked up is the DVD player and that works fine. I even tried an audio phase test and it seemed to be working...

    Upgrade bug is getting me... questions on speakers from Tweeter

After several auditioning tripd to Tweeter, I ended up with a pair of Boston VR-M50 for my mains. I was limited, due to space and...
