In Reply to: VMPS how do your speakers measure?? posted by nakolawala on July 31, 2002 at 05:34:37:
and my 3 meter measurements, averaged over a 36 inch listening window, looked pretty similar in shape and magnitude to the on-axis response in these measurements from aout 300 hz. and up (except for the dip at 12K-I found no sign of that). These were third-octave, taken by RS meter, and corrected. I find these measurements to be quite adequately accurate. My Revel M20s are produced with a +-0.75 db tolerance, and while they might be "smoother", the VMPS are clearly more detailed and accurate. I don't know how the "in room" response curves taken by Dennis Murphy were done, but neither those curves nor the owner's description of the sound on the site bear any resemblance to how mine measure or sound. I suspect bass mistuning is an issue here, or possibly out of spec units.
Follow Ups:
The 626R is a completely different design and should not be compared with RM1. We are talking about a floorstander v/s minimonitor totally different design but using the same drivers.
It could be mistuned but at any setting the response was similar.
What is the point of owning a spks if it cannot be tuned OR can never achieve optimum setting in his/her room.
and they have expressed that there is great similarity of sound. Since VMPS has a 30 day return policy, why did you keep them if they are so bad?
I assume you have tried different room placements. Have you tried lifting them off the ground 10 or 12 inches?
