jhunt1, I think you meant this thread.

you are correct, sorry.

I'm a big Boston Acoustics fan, I'm sitting here surrounded by:
VR-MC - center
VR-M90s - fronts
VR-MXes - sides
VR-M60s - rear
(and another BA-VR system in another room)

And as much as I love the sound of their speakers, which sound fantastic with my 990/770 combo, I wouldn't pay extra just to get the BA logo on my components. Outlaw still has the best deals out there.

I'm jealous! I love the Boston sound as well, but just can't afford to upgrade to the VR series yet. I'm currently using the System 9000 (with the Micro 90 series speakers) with an extra Micro90 for a rear sixth channel.

Owl's_Warder,

When I got my 990 I decided to move from the 6.1 setup I was using with my 950 to 7.1. I replaced my single rear VR-M/EX with my VR-M60s that I had been using as fronts in my second system. To replace these I just couldn't justify the money for the VR-M line, so I bought a pair of VR2s. I can hear a difference in the sound, but the VR tweeter is still there, and that is what I really like with the Bostons. They aren't nearly as attractive as the cherry VR-Ms, but the sound is still there. So keep that line in mind when you finally decide to go with the VR line, as they are significantly less expensive. But if you want to get good WAF, the cherry version of the VR-M line is hard to beat aesthetically. Good luck.

I recently found this site that details the DACs, DSP, ADC, etc. for numerous preamps and receivers-- includes the Outlaw 950 and Sherwood P965.

Might be revealing to compare the internal components of the various models being mentioned here with the new 990.

Let's try that URL link again:

I'm a Polk guy myself, except for my center channel. I'm using a Boston Acoustics VR-12. It's older, but man is it crystal clear even at high volumes. It's good to 250watts, has 4 drivers and a tweeter. I like it so much I bought a second one off ebay for the "bedroom theater".
