Jim,
What did you read that brought you to this conclusion? Where's this consensus you speak of? I thought the focus of this thread has been people questioning Brian's claim of QA tolerance for his capactitor upgrade. Some questioned his rationale, other's questioned his need to use this as a marketing gimmick. NONE questioned the quality of his speakers.I follow the VMPS threads pretty closely (I'm a RM40 owner). The only person I have seen claim that the any of the VMPS RM series is less than desirable is Nakowala (sp?). Even if we accept his claim, that hardly constitutes a "consensus".
Certainly, for many long-term audiophiles, the name "VMPS" seems to conjure up images of big, bass-heavy, inexpensive brutes of questionable finesse. Some reputations are hard to live down.
However, it seems to me there the only conclusion one can come to relative to any consensus on this board: People who hear Brian's new Ribbon Monitor speakers (particularly the RM40 and the 626R) are favorably impressed by them. Note few qualify this opinion with "for the money".
If it bothers you that some of these folks go overboard in their (our) enthusiasm, that's understandable. Particularly since VMPS is a speaker few have the opportunity to audition. But just because the "VMPS masses" get on your nerves, there's no reason for you to try to "balance out the perspective" unless you have had extended auditions of these speakers, and have found them to be unsatisfactory. Otherwise, it's bad taste to summarize an issue without any data to support it the conclusion.
