It's just that the lower woofer is rolled off with a choke above 800Hz, so you don't have the two 7" drivers interfering with each other in the midrange.

The dustcap would only affect the upper-end of that driver's response around 1.5-2kHz or so, which wouldn't make any difference in that driver, since it was rolled off around 800Hz.īoth woofers handle the bass and the system is a conventional dual-woofer ported system. The "woofer-only" lower driver may have had a larger dustcap just to distinguish it visually. I do not remember the two 7" drivers being much different, if at all. I supervised the engineering and did all the voicing on the speakers. I was the new product development manager for the VR Series when I was at BA from 1992-2003. Good info and good experiences shared in here. Thanks for the help - glad I found this site. I'm fairly brand-loyal to Onkyo and Integra, but does anyone have a recommendation for specific models or minimum power to drive these well? (.and potentially the VR40.one day.) I'm shopping for a decent stereo receiver or integrated amp to drive them with, having only my oldish Onkyo TX-SR501 AVR free at the moment. Both "Made in USA." When did the production on these move to Peabody? (just curious about their age).ģ. Then somewhere in the 013000-range (mine) they are Peabody, MA labelled.
Boston acoustics vr 40 manually serial numbers#
I've seen serial numbers on these in the 012000-range that are Lynnfield, MA labelled. Or is it just marketing trickery and a 3-way after all?Īny insight from the Boston designers on the forum?Ģ. But I'm wondering how the two drivers responses actually overlap? Is it just down to the two different driver designs? Sounds tricky. The old product brochure for the Lynnfield VR series calls it a "two-and-one-half-way" system with "unique low-frequency driver configuration." I understand the concept, with mids and bass going to the upper driver and low-end bass support via the lower driver (which is visibly a different driver than the upper). I've not had a pair of speakers with this kind of hybrid 3-way, and I'm wondering what the crossover is actually doing. I've got a few questions for the experts in here:ġ. I just bought a pair of mint condition VR30s while impatiently waiting for a pair of VR40s to turn up somewhere.
