Boston Acoustics' VS 336 floorstanding speakers get reviewed

by Steven Kim posted Feb 23rd 2009 at 4:05AM

You remember the curvy-looking Boston Acoustics speakers that came in under the "Vista" name, only to get re-branded "VS" to avoid confusion with other products sharing the Vista moniker? Well, the top of the line model VS 336 floorstanders grabbed a pretty good review from CE Pro, with the soundstaging and bass response earning good remarks. But speakers being subjective, you'd be advised to kick the tires on the $3,400 per pair boxes before you drive them home -- the review turned up a bit of excess presence in the upper bass and midrange that gives a lot of detail but also turned into a "forwardness" as notes moved up the scale. If you're considering them, judge for yourself if you like the effect or not; at this price point you've got plenty of choices that combine looks and performance.

Can guys post reviews or do reviews yourself of speakers people can really afford?
I would like to see some reviews of speaker of TSC (The Speaker Company). AudioHolics.com did a review of TSC's $399 5.1 speaker package and said it was very good.

These $1000 plus speakers are for rich people. Most of your readers can't afford these things.

Check out the DCM Cinema Series 2 for $399.95, very nice sounding!

Wish I could afford speakers for $399. Like we say in our neighborhood only the rich can afford these speakers. I saw some speakers at Target stores for around $40 and they sounded pretty darn good maybe you can review those speakers which people can afford and try to keep reviews of affordable speakers under a $100 so us common folks can afford speakers.
