Bound for Sound:

VMPS has taken what I consider to be one of the finest speakers on the market, and made it better! The first RM40 was groundbreaking in its ability to combine imaging, bass response and dynamic capabilities into a single package that sold for $4,200 - $5,400 (depending on the options chosen). At that time, it easily outdistanced the ultra-hype speakers touted in so many magazines and cyber web places. There is a reason that many of the speakers considered the darlings of the glossy press don't show up here - they don't sound good; at least not when compared to the VMPS RM40 or, for that matter, the Gallo Reference MkIII. This latest version of the RM40 is better yet. With what was already an exceptional speaker, they have taken the next step musically. They have improved it by refining it in meaningful ways, ways that most speaker manufacturers apparently don't recognize, or a least can't duplicate. One of the best speakers in the world has just gotten better. This is a Component of Exceptional Merit.
