The subwoofer is exquisite to look at, as are all the loudspeakers, but I would love to see this as a dual 12in beast with a kilowatt amp – or maybe even a three-kilowatt dual 15in monster – as the performance of the rest of the VS system is commensurately excellent. HOOK UP: All the speakers, including the surrounds, come with binding post terminals You can hear that the product is struggling and have to wick it back a tad. The trouble is, that while the Boston Acoustics' VPS 210 dual 10in woofer (one driven, one a passive radiator or wobbler) has a 500W amplifier in its guts, and does go very deep, it just cannot push enough air around in these overblown cinematic moments. Between them the combined result is, as Vinnie Jones said, 'Emotional'. In my own system, I use a B&W ASW825 subwoofer for its 1,000W of grip, along with a £2,500 REL Stentor for its absurd below -10Hz authority.
Newman's soundtrack swells and will move you if there's any poetry in your soul at all, yet a crucial part of this feel is the exciting fullness of the bass, all rippling depth with taut edges. The single shortcoming to this high-end package, in my opinion, is the bass end, which became apparent in the scene where EVE has a joyous fly around Earth.
BOSTON ACOUSTICS VR 40 MANUALE DRIVER
Back in Wall-E's world, I could count the footfalls of the tiny-but-cute cockroach and the rest of the bandwidth was perfectly smooth and homogenous, with exquisite blending from driver to driver. The detail and placement was high-quality and would have silenced any flat-earth stereo hi-fi nutter with its accuracy. Louis Armstrong gets a number, too ( La Vie en Rose), and it felt like he was in the room with me.
NO SLOUCHING: The center speaker has a little foot at the back to help it sit up straight The sheer musicality of this 5.1 array was given a real test and it came out shining. The soundtrack is wonderful – atmospheric and at times hugely emotive. Then it was into Wall-E, with its clever use of an old show tune by Michael Crawford overlain with music by Hollywood composer Thomas Newman. The balloons in the Up! trailer rustled seductively the dynamic speed and purity of Luxo the lamp's boings were just absurdly right-there-in-your-face. The moment they fired up I was transfixed even the crap at the start of my Wall-E Blu-ray was awesome. So, it has all the fabulousness of a ring radiator tweeter but, dare I say it, even slightly better performance – as the sound of these speakers is ethereally delicious. Boston worked out that you can go totally pistonic to 30kHz if you stick the middle of a regular silk dome tweeter to a brass plug in the middle.

Luckily, I hadn't been like a Dyson vacuum cleaner and sucked it rotten, but rather applied the most delicate and even pressure and, apart from some lick spittle, there was no real harm done.Īll the cabinets in this VS Series use this unconventional tweeter design, called here a Super Wide Bandwidth tweeter.
