Even though this is an old thread, Steve's description inspired me and I would like to share my perspective and story about the Lynnfield VR40, VR12, and VRS pro surrounds.
I was a retail manager in a large appliance electronics store In the mid to late nineties.
As an audio manager, and car audio enthusiast , I had the privilege of listening to many speakers in my day. Everything from infinity Kappa, Wharfdale, Klipsch, just to name just a few.
As I was seeking to purchase my own set of speakers, I could not move past the Boston VR 40's. Every time I compared them to other speakers in the showroom, they had the finest detail, truest response, smooth bass and tremendous power handling capabilities.
I bought a set in 1997 And still have them to this day. Every time I look at another set or listen to other speakers I have not been able to part ways with these, in fact, they were playing just as good as the day I bought them this evening while Listening to music that was 24 Bit at a 192 K. I have been impressed we these speakers for over 25 years and still going.
I current have them playing through A Rotel RSP1576MKII and a Meridian G55 Amplifier. Photo attached
I have the VR40s bi-amped and would like to know the cutoff for the LF 7" drivers. I currently have them set to 100 HZ at a 24 db slope through the Rotel. Curious if that should be moved up or down.
I know the midrange crossover is set to 400, but not sure what the bottom end rolloff is for the midrange.
Any insight here would be appreciated.
Best,
Dan
