Hey Scott ...

I responded to your post over on planar ...

Regarding VMPS 30's, these were one of the first speakers I considered to replace my 2.5's. I contacted the VMPS European distributor (in Croatia, of all places ...) and explained to him what I was looking for. His answer seemed quite honest and frank, and convinced me not to pursue the 30's. Plus, they are designed to be used with a sub, and this wasn't the route I wanted to go. I think you will find placing these a challenge in your room.

The distributor suggested the 40's are more what I was looking for. However, these are very, very heavy floor standers, and expensive. If I lived on the ground floor, and never move house again, I would seriously consider these, but such is not my case ... Again placement in your room could be a problem with the 40's, as they need some distance from the rear wall.

As I mentioned in my post on Planar, look into Harbeth, Spendor and JM Reynaud. These 3 speakers all have 'disappearing' capabilities, excellent musical presentation, easy to drive, and are relatively room/placement friendly. Each have their own 'flavour', so take your time.

Cheers Brian
