In Reply to: REVIEW: VMPS RM30 Speakers posted by jonbee on December 3, 2006 at 12:22:53:
Hey Jonbee,
Could you email about your VMPS speakers.
I have some questions for you and am interested in these speakers as I am having to sell my Maggies.
Follow Ups:
if you didn't get it, let me know.
I responded to your post over on planar ...Regarding VMPS 30's, these were one of the first speakers I considered to replace my 2.5's. I contacted the VMPS European distributor (in Croatia, of all places ...) and explained to him what I was looking for. His answer seemed quite honest and frank, and convinced me not to pursue the 30's. Plus, they are designed to be used with a sub, and this wasn't the route I wanted to go. I think you will find placing these a challenge in your room.
The distributor suggested the 40's are more what I was looking for. However, these are very, very heavy floor standers, and expensive. If I lived on the ground floor, and never move house again, I would seriously consider these, but such is not my case ... Again placement in your room could be a problem with the 40's, as they need some distance from the rear wall.
As I mentioned in my post on Planar, look into Harbeth, Spendor and JM Reynaud. These 3 speakers all have 'disappearing' capabilities, excellent musical presentation, easy to drive, and are relatively room/placement friendly. Each have their own 'flavour', so take your time.
Cheers Brian
Hello Brian,
I'm glad you feel I was frank in my answering, but I'd like to point out that explanation I wrote to you regarding comparisons of RM30, RM40 and large dipolar planar speakers is somewhat more complex than how it is presented in your answer to Scott.Therefore, please feel free to fully quote the e-mail I sent to you here at AA, perhaps together with a gist of your question. I think that among other answers it would also be helpful in clearing Scott's dilemmas, but of course, it's not appropriate for me to do it.
