Having gone through some fairly extensive equipment changes, additions and subtractions over the past four years, I have come to the conclusion that a few of the Boston Acoustics offerings suit my tastes quite well. I'm currently running VR3s and a VR12 in my main HT setup, CR65s and a VR10 in my secondary setup and I'm in the process of competing my bedroom set consisting of CR55s, a CRC and Boston Bravos. Apparently I'm fairly fond of the sonic signature that BA provides with the VR and CR lines of speakers...
Similar to Sholling's sentiment above, I felt that the VR3 towers are some of the best 'bang for the buck' speakers available. While their retail prices aren't great, you can find these in the $650-$850 range. I have found these to be quite accurate for highs and mids as well as deep down to the low 30s (Hz-wise), allowing you to save up for a solid sub if you don't have one. They're extremely sensitive allowing you to drive them quite loudly w/very little power, pretty attractive for a vinyl finish and offer a wide soundstage to boot.
While the VR2s are good performers in their own right, I would strongly recommend any listener that is pleased w/the VR2s performance to take a lengthy listening to the VR3s and consider saving for them. If you can find the VR2s for a good price, though, I think you'd be pretty pleased with their performance as they have many of the same characteristics of the VR3s.
I considered the VRC when scoping out my center options, however I held off and purchased a VR920 for some time and was quite pleased with it, then upgraded to a VR12 that has performed even better and seems to be more suited to match the VR3s than the 920 was. While the VRC looks fairly capable, most folk's feedback I've seen that have compared the VRC with the older VRs (VR920, VR10 & VR12) lean strongly towards the older lines... -TD
