In Reply to: Need recommendation for high quality monitors posted by hukkfinn on March 15, 2007 at 06:21:57:
These monitors, with the ribbon midrange and tweeter and fully tricked out are at the top of your price range but, in a reasonably sized room, offer tremendous sound except for the bottommost octave. And in the 40 to 80hz range these speakers are superior to any monitor I have heard for under $5k.I have compared the VMPS to Diapason Adamantes and AE1 and AE2 Signatures and clearly the VMPS are better - imaging,dynamics and depth of image all win with the VMPS.
The ribbon midrange is remarkable and the ribbon tweeter is one of the least fatiguing high ends I have ever heard. And they are quite amplifier tolerant.
