When did the Boston Acoustics CR speakers come out?
I was the Director of Home Audio Product Development at Boston Acoustics from 1992-2003, so I can tell you something about these speakers. The original CR series (Compact Reference) was introduced in Dec 1994, as the replacement to the HD series. That first CR family consisted of the CR6 (5 ¼” 2-way), CR7 (6 ½”), CR8 (7”) and CR9 (8”).
Which is the best speaker in the CR series?
The CR7 was a favorite of BA’s president, Andy Kotsatos. For an inexpensive speaker using pretty ordinary components, it sounded truly excellent, with great balance and a very smooth FR. My favorite in the line was the CR8, which really did do the “where’s the sub” trick pretty well, especially for a 7” woofer.
Which is the smallest model of Boston Acoustics speakers?
Boston Acoustics speakers have always been a favorite of mine, so that’s where I headed first. The CR57’s were the smallest of the series, with the CR67’s the next step up (the CR67 is the newer year’s model of the CR65, same specs).

Excellent bass for a four inch. Highly recommended. PSB alpha B1 is better but a little less organic a bit more mechanical.
