Question; wouldn't this be more of a VMPS 215 sub, than a Larger?  And what's with removing the 12" woofer, and sealing the opening?  Was that a mod offered by Brian, for some reason?  Just curious!


VMPS Larger Sub  -  (Winter Park, FL)  $500

http://app.audiogon.com/listings/subwoofers-vmps-largersub-2015-06-20-home-theater-32789-winter-park-fl--2









"I"m selling my VMPS larger sub. This sub has the upgraded 15" Ultra Woofer with an upgraded passive radiator and the Parts Express 1000w amp. This sub sounds great and can play to 17Hz. I also have all the original woofers and passive radiator if someone wants to match it to an existing VMPS sub for a pair. Asking price is $500 but I will accept reasonable offers I and prefer local pickup because this thing is a beast."

Isn’t it just a larger in low boy configuration?  As far as the plugged 12” woofer opening, who knows?  I seem to recall discussion of the larger performing well with the high excursion TC Sounds 15” (what Brian called the OMG) and the 12” opening getting plugged, but the 15 in that cabinet sure doesn’t look a TC Sounds driver.  And maybe I’m just not remembering any of this correctly.

Anyway, it does have the much better CSS passive and 1,000 watt Parts Express amp, so $500 seems like a good price, if you have the room for something that large.

Brian offered the UltraMega 15" and you could remove and plug the 12" cut out if you only wanted/needed Lower Bass.

This one does have the matching UltraMega Passive Radiator, so it is a STEAL at $500.

John, was the UltraMega an Eminence, like maybe a copy of the Dayton DVC15?

There was both a 12" and a 15" UltraMega, and I believe both were EMINENCE drivers, which were also offered by Dayton later, so he eventually used both (even though they were the same, but with different names on them)

I do not know what the Dayton model number was however so I cannot say with any certainty.

REPOST & PRICE CHANGE

6 Foot VMPS Super Tower III (actually SuperTower IIa/R) Speakers - (Albuquerque, New Mexico) $1300








6 Foot VMPS SuperTower IIa/R Speakers  - (New Mexico - Albuquerque)  $1000

http://albuquerque.craigslist.org/ele/5025690410.html






"I've got some very powerful, 6 foot tall home audio speakers. They are originally priced at $12,000. The reason the price is reduced so much is some of the speakers are blown and need replacing. I don't have the time or the money to replace them so I'm hoping to leave them in the hands of someone who would like them and would be willing to experience the awesomeness these speakers are capable of. Each box has 4 subwoofers (3-10" subs & 1-15" sub). No Paypal please, cash only."

The RM2 is one of B's best speakers IMO.  That's a killer deal if in good shape. 

Somebody offer the person $55/pr for his awful condition $2k new 70s STIIa/R advertised as "$12k STIII" (most costly STIII was about $4400).

I have a pair of VMPS Original Subwoofers for sale. I am the original owner and have refoamed the passive radiators on both recently. I am selling because of a move. The top veneer on both are not great to be honest, hence the fair price offering.

If interested, please reply and I will be happy to get detailed pictures. Will sell separately.

FS: VMPS RM40 speakers - (Madison Wisconsin)  $2500.00

http://www.avsforum.com/forum/209-audio-gear/2062874-fs-vmps-rm40-speakers-2500-00-a.html








"This is a feeler post to see if there is any interest in these great speakers. I didn't intend to sell them at all however I have made so many other recent audio purchases that I need to thin the herd. If there is no interest then I'm ok with that as well as I really love the sound of these speakers. I cannot ship these, they are 230 lbs each and are 66" tall. The finish is macassar ebony and include the megawoofer upgrade, TNT caps and boulder wiring. I have included the picture of the largest scratch that I could find and I personally think it looks worse in the picture than it really is. I am located in Madison Wisconsin. Price is $2500.00.

12 inch VMPS Bass Subwoofer Speaker - $295 (Clear Lake, MN)

http://stcloud.craigslist.org/ele/4187398811.html





"This is a 12" diameter in-home non-powered subwoofer with a 12" active radiator in front and a 12" passive radiator in bottom. VMPS calls it their "Smaller Subwoofer." It measures 16" wide, 16" deep and 27" tall with a nice walnut top.


VMPS has been known for making outstanding sub woofers and speakers for nearly 3 decades. The subwoofer is rated at 8 ohms and the frequency range is 28-150Hz.


This unit will take just about all the power you can throw at it (up to 250 watts rms) and the bass really "rocks the house." "
