VSSeries
... a new Vision in great Sound

VS Series
Great sound has a whole new look
Boston VS Series Loudspeakers–our best performing, best-looking products
deliver a superior home theater or audio-only experience. Innovative driver
and cabinet designs yield exceptional sonic characteristics. Each VS Series
model is voiced to blend with the others so they can be combined to
deliver the best performance in any conguration.
Dispelling all notions of the typical loudspeaker “rectangular box,”
the structural elements of all VS models reect a seamless merging of
art and science. The structural elements of the cabinets are made of
high-frequency-molded MDF with “wave like”curved surfaces that reduce
internal standing waves and panel resonances. Further reecting
the seamless merging of art and science that denes the VS Series,
all VS cabinets feature an elegant piano lacquer nish and high-gloss
furniture-grade end panels.
