Here are my RM30s. I'm moving across country in two weeks, so I'm putting my rig up for sale. I'd prefer a local sale, but might make an exception for an AC member.

Rare VMPS RM2 front channel hybrid ribbon speakers  -  (Seattle, Washington)  $1000

http://www.ebay.com/itm/331378236600






"

For sale… rare out-of-production pair of high end speakers from Veritone Minimum Phase Speakers (VMPS). VMPS, was a loudspeaker manufacture founded in 1977 by speaker designer Brian Cheney. Many VMPS speakers received exceptional reviews from audio critics, such as the RM40, which was awarded Best of CES in the High-End Audio category in 2002.[1] VMPS was in operation for over 35 years, from January 1977 to December 2012, when it closed soon after the death of company owner Brian Cheney on December 7, 2012. The RM2 speakers for sale here are really a spectacular speaker for audiophiles. I used it as the front speakers for a home video system but enjoyed them equally for listening to music ranging from classical to rock. These speakers can be tuned to your specific listening environment. Once tuned, the sound stage is only raveled by speakers 2 or 3 times their price. Slight blemish on one speaker cover and one broken cover tab but does cover attaches without problem. Original purchase price: $2700/pair. Specifications for the RM2:

VMPS QSO-626 Audiophile home theater speakers (5 Speakers with Stands)  -  (St. Louis City)  $275

http://stlouis.craigslist.org/ele/4771452671.html





"Up for sale is a set of 5 VMPS QSO-626 speakers with five speaker stands all for $275.00. These speakers will serve as a great home theater set up that will blow away anything you can get at a local big box retailer. The speakers work perfectly. However, the grill on one of the speakers is broken. There are various scratches and blemishes on the various speakers, but they are cosmetic only. All speakers work perfectly. There are no cracks or rotting of the woofers on any of the speakers."

PRICE DROP  -  $2600

VMPS RM40 Audiophile speakers! rare and sweet sounding. - (Madison, Wisconsin)  $2950

http://madison.craigslist.org/ele/4743832899.html





"If you know the history of this speaker and the company you know that these do not come up for sale very often and even more rare is finding them in the mid-west and there is a reason for that. Most dealers seemed to be more concentrated on the east coast. I recently made a road trip across five states to pick up two pair of these speakers and have decided to sell one pair. It was not an easy decision but I am comforted knowing that I am keeping a pair for myself. This is a big speaker, at 66" high, 12" wide, 17" deep and 240 lbs each, they have big presence physically and sonically. The midrange and upper detail is wonderful. They have 4 ribbons, Fst tweeter, (2) 10" drivers and a down firing 8" passive radiator. They are capable of filling a large room with clean sound given good, clean power, they are some of the best sounding ribbon speakers that I have heard. The finish is Macassan ebony. They will take plenty of power and have adjustable midrange and treble controls located at the rear of the speaker. I am looking for a serious buyer, this is a very nice sounding speaker and well reviewed, they don't make them like this anymore and for the price of what people pay for decent bookshelf speakers you are getting much for your money."

Those are pretty interesting, although they probably weren't actually built by Brian.  They almost look like Tang Band woofers.

Yes, that is correct.  I was going to post that too.

Those "are not" VMPS speakers.

Those are Speakers made from the LRC Cabinet, a Neopanel, and some other woofers and tweeter.

They may be wonderful, but to call them VMPS speakers is not accurate.  They just use a couple VMPS parts.

Again this is not to disparage the performance, as I have no idea what they sound like, but they were not built by VMPS and Brian did not assemble and tune the XO. (unless they are made from an existing VMPS speaker Brian did build with swapped out woofers and tweeter, which would still require a XO change)

VMPS Tower IIR  -  (Florida)  $350

http://www.audioasylumtrader.com/ca/listing/Speakers-Floor-Standing/VMPS/Tower-IIR/122896






"Tower IIR speakers, dual 12" woofers. All woofers and passive radiators were replaced 3-4 years ago. Bought in 1989, but good condition considering their age. New crossovers come with the speakers. Bought from Brian at VMPS before he passed away, but never got around to installing them. They are heavy, so would prefer a local cash sale. Will drive up to 2 hours to meet up. Email me for photos."

Two VMPS 12" subwoofers (don't know if they work)  -  (Greenville, SC)  $60   :o

http://greenville.craigslist.org/ele/4780533417.html





"Two VMPS 12" subs for sale. Can't find anything wrong with them but they're just so old that I have no idea how to hook them up or connect them to anything. So instead they've been used as tables but maybe someone else is a tech wiz or just wants them for show. These just need to go, 60$ firm. (They are extremely heavy as a note of caution, if buying you'll need more than me and you most likely) pick up only!!"

VMPS RM2 Speakers  -  (Nothwest Tucson, AZ)  $850 

http://tucson.craigslist.org/ele/4786962821.html





"Here is a pair of awesome sounding speakers with serial numbers 12709 and 12710. These are VMPS Ribbon Monitors. The company was out of California but the owner passed away suddenly and the family decided not to continue. However you can check many of the music equipment sites via the web and find out these speakers earned great reviews. Audiogon and Audio Karma to name a few. I will audition these before you purchase them. They will sell themselves. These cost over $3000.00 new. The speakers (woofer's, tweeters, etc.) I give 10/10. The cosmetics a 8-9/10. Please respond via Craig's list and give me your phone number if interested. These are 4-8 ohms nominal with recommended amp 20-300 WPC. These can be biamp or biwired if you wish."

 VMPS Super Tower 2 SE speakers -  (Spartanburg/Greenville, SC)  $600

http://greenville.craigslist.org/ele/4796469555.html





"Pair of Awesome VMPS Super Tower II SE speakers. Surrounds need refoamed on passives but all other drivers are good. Grille cloth could use a cleaning and be restretched and attatched a little better but it's all there with no tears. Very nice sounding speakers. Simlar to vandersteens in that they are completley phase correct.

reasonable offers considered."
