First of all, Dave never criticised the sound of the VMPS speakers. He was very complimentary. It appears the original issue has been solved which is good because it was getting boring.I doubt Dave is envious of the "ink" VMPS has received. This is a hobby for him and I can say whole heartedly that he makes very little profit on those "little" 6.5 inch speakers. I also take issue with the "value leader" comment. Have you priced the drivers and crossovers? Anyone who has (and has a brain in his head) will tell you that there is NO better value in all of audio. I would bet that the cost of materials for the 1801's is close to the cost of materials in the RM-40's. The cabinet work is also better than anything you will see out of VMPS.
Don't get me wrong, I have listened to VMPS speakers and I like them. Even though I have been critical of the pricing on the upgraded caps, I have been totally complimentary of the speaker performance.
Lastly, I can't imagine ANY speakers would sound good to you. Your head seems to be stuck too far up your ass to hear anything.

Jackman, It looked like Dave was gonna drive his issue into the ground. I have never even heard of Ellis Audio or whatever he calls himself. I seriously doubt his list of materials comes close to the materials in a rm40. Real simple addition man, but maybe its over your head. FYI, i have Logan Aerius that I`m quite happy with. You know the whole thing is this, the optional caps in VMPS speakers is just that, an option. If someone doesnt want em dont get em. There are apparently people who feel they are worth the price of admission. I have seen many people on here who do in fact think VMPS speakers represent one of the best value for dollars in the biz. Now, go wash your mouth out with soap.
Haaaaa! I knew it! Touched a nerve because you have a pair of RM-40's on order (according to your post last week). Thought you were happy with the ML's. You are not only an incompitant boob, you are a liar. Here is your post:Posted by tunz (A) on July 25, 2002 at 20:03:13

It looks like this may be the case. I have 40`s on order with the Auricap upgrade. Think I made a good choice. < <
Yes, I now own m l Aerius, and I have rm40`s on order. The Aerius are nice speaks. Maybe lacking in dynamics a bit, but very pleasent all in all. So where is the lie? I have one speaker and am upgrading to another. You are starting to look like not the sharpest knife in the drawer dude.
You implied that you were happy with your current speaks without mentioning your pending order. No matter. It's over!I admit that I may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer but I know I'm smarter than you. This is similar to a 350 lb. guy looking at a 500 lb. guy and feeling thin...
Jack,not half a dozen posts up in this thread I stated for the world to read that my money was going to VMPS.Ya might wanna check of Hooked on Phonics, dude.
If you say so, I will believe you. I'll even admit that you are right. That's a word a guy like you doesn't hear very often.I'm through posting this BS. If you want to take this off line, feel free to email. If you want to meet in Chicago or wherever you live, please say the word.
Funny how a guy who never heard of Ellis speakers knew enough to insult them and say that they were not a value. I don't know how you can "seriously doubt" anything regarding his product when you supposedly have never heard of it anyway. You don't seem like a guy too concerned with the facts.I guess it makes me a little angry when a jerk (like yourself) questions the integrety of a good guy like Dave Ellis. The questions asked of Brian were legitimate. If a manufacturer makes claims that are not supported by science, people have the right to ask questions. Brian doesn't have to answer questions if he doesn't want to, it's his perogative.
My problem is not with Brian Cheney. He is a hard working guy running what a commercially successful business. His products seem to be well liked by many of the people who have listened to them and who own them. I have listened to two models and have posted positive things about their sound. My problem is with YOU. If you think you are slick, you are sadly mistaken.
If you are ever in the Chicago area, please give me a call. I would really like to talk speakers with you in person.
