Boston Acoustics Bravo
Boston Acoustics Bravo bookshelf speaker derived from the VR range, designed for discreet room-corner placement, in horizontal or vertical position.
Description
The Bravo is a bookshelf speaker from Boston Acoustics, designed using the technical principles developed for the American brand's audiophile VR range. It stands out for its primary purpose: blending discreetly into an interior while retaining a carefully judged sound, without imposing the usual presence of a traditional speaker.
Its architecture has been specifically optimised for use in a room corner. The speaker can be installed horizontally, flush with the ceiling, or vertically, tucked into a corner of the room. This particular positioning is not merely a matter of aesthetics: the design takes advantage of the adjacent walls to shape the frequency response, a technical choice that directly influences the acoustic behaviour of the speaker once installed in its corner.
The model exists in two variants. The Bravo speaker version is the standard variant, intended for use as a main or secondary speaker. The Bravo Center version uses the same design but adds magnetic shielding, allowing it to be placed directly on top of a television for use as a centre channel, without risk of interference with the picture.
This speaker is aimed at users looking to reconcile music listening with decorating constraints, particularly in rooms where installing conventional speakers would pose a problem of bulk or aesthetics. The corner format is particularly suited to setups where floor or furniture space is limited, or for those wanting a discreet integration into the living room.
What to check before buying used
The veneer and cabinet corners deserve close inspection, as knocks are common on this format designed to sit in a room corner. Check the flexibility of the driver surrounds, which can harden or split over time and affect the bass response. On the Center version, check that the magnetic shielding has not been damaged from prolonged placement on a television. A test at moderate volume will help detect any unwanted noise or distortion indicating a worn component.
