VMPS RM-30M Floorstanding Speakers  -  (Los Angeles, CA)  $1695

http://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649294849-vmps-rm30m-floorstanding-speakers/







"This offering is the RM-30M, with the 10" side firing woofer

"The RM 30 is a speaker that can match the dynamic capabilities of competent horns, the immediacy of electrostatics and planar-magnetics, and the fine detailing and imaging of the best dynamic designs." - Positive Feedback



RM30 is 50 cm (20") deep, but can be placed directly against a back wall if needed. The FST, Soundcoat and 10" Megawoofer are all standard. M and C versions are exactly the same except for the M's sidefiring woofers. The large cabinet of the C version provides good quality bass flat to 39 Hz from the four 16 cm WCF woofers. The M version cuts off at 32 Hz. The RM30 uses three 2.4 Ohm midrange panels wired in series. The FST is at the top of the column. The C version is a true line source, the M series is a slight departure with its side-firing woofer. The active 16 cm is a specially developed WCF 16 cm Megawoofer. They offer higher power handling, cleaner sound and have the ability of not bottoming out no matter how hard they are driven.

The RM30's are extremely flexible of placement, including touching the back wall if necessary.

VMPS RM30 M & C versions

This loudspeaker answers the requests from audiophiles since early 2002 for a speaker priced between, & more attractive than the RM2 & RM40. Its premium blending of price, performance, flexibility, & cosmetic beauty promises more than anything currently available.

· Price includes Free Swinging Tweeter & SoundCoat.

· Performance: maximum output just below the RM40 combined w/a new reference in staging, imaging, musicality, nearfield listening, & disappearing qualities.

· Flexibility: the standard C model has bass extension in the high 30s. The M version (additional 10”side firing MW, same cabinet) extends to the high 20s & has a feature to minimize bass modes. Details on both versions below.

· Cosmetic Beauty: at 20cm wide it’s the narrowest VMPS ever & 5 cm narrower than the 626R standmount. At 122 cm it’s only 8 cm above the RM2 and a perfect match for video monitors. Depth is a moderate 50 cm.

Driver Array: the sequence below matches the driver positions on the baffle, from the top down.

1. Standard FST tweeter, previously standard only at the RMX.
2. 3 vertical Neo mids.
3. Dual active 16 cm, the ideal diameter in the critical transition range, w/punchy, quick midbass.

Passive Radiators: tunable, down firing, slot & mass loaded (classic VMPS). The ultra-slim baffle requires dual 16 cm PRs (a VMPS first), mounted inline front to back. Mass adjustments are performed on both or only one PR (the front), providing finer & smoother tuning increments.

Woofer Options: apartment dwellers, persons with 1st octave room modes, persons desiring moderate bass extension, &/or persons already possessing a quality subwoofer will be pleased w/the C model’s high 30 Hz cutoff. The M model’s side-firing 25cm 80oz-magnet Megawoofer extends to the high 20 Hz range. The mirror-imaged L-R speakers are reversible, allowing the 25cm basses to fire either inward or outward to maximize the averaging of room modes, a'la RM/X. We generally recommend:

AWESOME Home Theater!!!  -  (Meridian, Mississippi)  $1500

http://meridian.craigslist.org/ele/5814986844.html









And,



"Selling our home theater system. It is an incredible VMPS surround sound system. It will rock your house and your world when you watch movies or listen to music. Crystal clear sound with the ribbon tweeters, and awesome bass with 10" subs and a 12" sub pointed at the floor.

One of the front speakers new goes for $1200 by itself!!! The rears can be hung on the walls or sat on tables. They are dual sided for awesome rear sound.

The receiver supports the Bi-Amp configuration of the front speakers. Bi-Amp is two sets of cables per front speaker. The HDMI out port on the receiver did quit though so it can only be used to run the speakers and not video out to the TV. Honestly though, the price is extremely fair even if the receiver wasn't included."

Vintage VMPS smaller subwoofers sub  -  (Inland Empire, CA)  $250

http://inlandempire.craigslist.org/ele/5842512263.html





"I have for sale a pair of VMPS passive subwoofers. These are in great condition and sound terrific. This is a 12" diameter 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 cabinets.

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. These will take just about all the power you can throw at it (up to 250 watts rms) and the bass is really tight.

I had all the drivers (main and passive radiators) refoamed a few years ago by VMPS themselves. I removed the speakers from the cabinets and shipped them. The passive radiators are mounted in a "slot" at the bottom of the speaker cabinet. VMPS informed me that the bottom of the cabinet needed to be knocked off to access them, then screwed back on when replaced. I've shown the bottom with the screws in the pictures.

Asking $250

If the listing is up they are still available."
