VMPS RM30 Speakers

68.110.226.229

I bought a pair of RM30Ms about 2-3 months ago. I agree with pretty much everything you've said.

I had been considering a variety of new speakers, from Quads to Audio Physic to yet another pair of maggies. I was especially tempted by Salk HT-3s which are incredibly good looking. But when Big B introduced the CDWG it seemed that a number of the typical problems with ribbons had been solved. The rosewood cabs were not available so I went with piano black. The rosewoods are gorgeous. I went with auricaps and SR-71, too.

I went with the Ms because I wanted to get rid of my sub and have a (mainly) full range speaker. Brian did a really nice job of integrating the 3 bass drives and 2 PRs operating below 280 Hz. Despite only going down to ~32 the bass is firm and clean. In the end, my spousal unit decided that SHE was going to keep my Strata III for the HT system (which is "hers").

If I had a bigger listening room, the non-M version with a 215 or larger sub would have been my choice.

You're completely correct - Brian got it very right on this speaker, and at an incredible bargain.
