About the VR-M60
The Boston Acoustics VR-M60 is a 2-way, 2-driver bookshelf/standmount loudspeaker introduced in 1999 as part of Boston's Lynnfield VR-M series. It uses a 6.5-inch DCD copolymer cone woofer and a 1-inch black anodized aluminum dome tweeter, in a rear-ported bass-reflex enclosure, with nominal 8-ohm impedance, 51 Hz-20 kHz frequency response, 90 dB sensitivity, and a ~2500-2700 Hz crossover. It is widely regarded for its clear imaging, wide soundstage, and unusually deep bass for its size, making it well suited as a high-quality main speaker in both music and home-theater systems when placed on stands.
