Boston Acoustics VR975, Powered Towers

The Boston Acoustics VR975 represents the flagship of Boston’s acclaimed VR Series—a loudspeaker designed to bring together full-range dynamics, elegant industrial design, and advanced acoustic engineering. Introduced in the late 1990s and produced into the early 2000s, the VR975 was the company’s ambitious take on a self-contained full-range tower, blending traditional high-fidelity principles with built-in powered subwoofer technology. At the foundation of the VR975 is a side-mounted 10-inch high-compliance treated paper-cone woofer, powered by a dedicated 150-watt RMS continuous amplifier. Working in tandem with a 12-inch polymer-cone passive radiator, the powered woofer system extends bass response cleanly and powerfully down to the low 20Hz range. This approach offers the authority of a built-in subwoofer without sacrificing the speed and natural integration required for music listening. Above the bass section, the VR975 employs a carefully engineered array: dual 4.5-inch midrange
