Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Common guys, it's hard to question VMPS prices...

While I may be just as curious about the tolerance of caps in VMPS crossovers, as well as the actual measured performance of some of the VMPS drivers, it doesn't seem fair to question the pricing on Brian's products. For example, in a pair of RM1's you get a pair of large solid floor standing cabinets with real wood veneer, nice spiral ribbon tweeters similar to the ones at e-speakers ($35/ea), neo ribbon mids similar to the B-G's at PE ($60/ea) and 2 decent 8" woofers per side. And even the standard caps Brian uses in his crossovers are probably better than what most hi-end commercial mfrs use.

I would think if you just had the cabinets made by a decent cabinet maker it would probably eat up most of the list price for a pair of RM1's. So even if there are some questions of the sonic value of what Brian is doing with cap tolerances, it's pretty silly to try to question his prices.
