from Home Entertainment (Tweeter) Summary: I traded my VRS surrounds for the Micro 90x. It's difficult to get the diffused field sound from the VRS series unless you have clean (unobstructed) side walls to attach them to. My living room is open on one side, so the VRS's just weren't practical.
So far, I am very pleased with the Micro 90x's. I was immediately impressed with the shear weight of these little speakers, a full 6 lbs each due to the pure die-cast aluminum enclosure. Definitely 5 stars for build quality.
The sound has been excellent for a surround of this size. The speakers have the same aluminum dome tweeter as the Lynnfield VR series, so the highs are just as incredible as with my VR950's. The bass could be stronger, but given the size I think it's adequate. Suprisingly, the 90x's serve well as front speakers when used with a subwoofer.
The only downside to these wonderful performers is that they are a bit costly--the $400 price tag seemed a lot for such small speakers. But looks can be deceiving. Overall, these are an excellent set of speakers that I would recommend to any home theater enthusiast, particularly if you have Boston Acoustics Lynnfield VR front speakers. Strengths: Clean, strong highs, small size, build quality. Weaknesses: Somewhat pricey for surrounds. Similar Products Used: VRS surrounds
