Product Description

The Boston BravoTM is a multi-purpose, high performance compact loudspeaker. The Boston Bravo, which uses Boston's patented one-inch aluminum dome VR tweeter with AMD and a 41/2-inch woofer, can be combined with its supplied mounting bracket or rear stand to be mounted or placed virtually anywhere in any room. The Boston Bravo is essentially one-quarter of a cylinder, allowing it to be mounted vertically at any height in a corner, or horizontally at the top of a wall, where wall and ceiling meet. Attaching the Boston Bravo to any surface is as simple as mounting the bracket to the wall, removing the grille from the speaker, and then attaching the speaker to the bracket using the supplied screws. Once the grille is placed back on the speaker, the means of attachment becomes virtually invisible. Additionally, the Boston Bravo can be placed either horizontally or vertically on any flat surface, such as a table or a shelf. Horizontally, it can either angle upward by resting on its two corner fillers or sit untilted using the rear stand. By virtue of its patented VR tweeter, the Boston Bravo is an economical and appropriate choice as a surround speaker for any Boston system using similarly equipped main and center channel speakers: VR-M50, 60, 80, 90 and VR-MC; VR940, 950, 965, 975, 910 and 920; MR90x, 100x and 90c. However, since it shares the Boston SoundTM with all other Boston speakers, the Boston Bravo can be used successfully as a surround speaker with any Boston main and center channel speakers.

This review is from: Boston Acoustics BRAVO White 2-Way Bookshelf Loudspeaker (Single Speaker) (Electronics)

I had to deal with some significant install limitations for my front speakers in the room where I put these BA's. I had to put them 8 ft. off the floor and they could be no bigger than this model. Plus, the room is large and acoustically challenged. Lastly, I did not want to hang a black speaker on a light colored wall.

I've installed these with a Yamaha center and a Velodyne sub. The fidelity is a little better than I expected. These do not have a "big" sound, but I am very please that I'm getting as much low end sound from them as I am. Before I hung them, I played them for a while on the floor. They performed very well. No doubt I could have gotten somewhat better sound from a much more expensive speaker - the next choice up was more than twice the money. But these are solid. If, like me, you have to hang these high, be sure to orient the woofer toward the ceiling as the instructions recommend. The hardware that come with the unit is good quality and would seem to cover all install needs.
