I know that pair of RM-30s and they "SOUND" excellent.

Seller will be unhappy after they are gone.  New buyer will be the winner.

Last I heard them, they were glorious.   :thumb:

 Hello John, Do those RM-30's still have the TALL bases as pictured, if so did they enhance the sound any? What was the height added? Thanks Ken                                                                 

A to B normal Base. B to C added height

They do not, but it is easy to improvise to create a TALL BOY RM-30

Stereo speakers, VMPS Speakers, awesome sound!  -  (SW Portland, OR)  $700

https://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/ele/6076198336.html






"I am selling my pair of VMPS speakers. They are in the custom oak finish. These are true audiophile speakers with excellent mid range, sparkling detailed highs and good, tight powerful bass. These great speakers have 2 large 12" woofers and one 12" down firing passive woofer, for this reason the bass is excellent. For the highs there is a tweeter and a ribbon tweeter which means sparkling, clear highs.

A search on the internet will provide more details.

Hard to find such a great, true high end audiophile speaker for such a low price.  I love the speakers, but I no longer need them.  Asking $700 obo.

I just received this email from a friend of mine.  A very good seller too!  Here's his contact info (with permission):

rdotjones@comcast.net

One Pair of RM-626 Speakers For Sale  -  (Seattle, Washington)  $675.00






"Hey Stewart,
 
You said to let you know if I decide to sell a pair of my 626s, and I have made that decision. They have that good VMPS sound, but the cabinet work was/is substandard, so I’m going to ask $675 for them. I’ll attach pictures so that you know what I’m saying about the cabinet finish work. I will pay the PayPal fee, but buyer pays shipping, which could be an issue depending on where the buyer lives, as I’m in the Seattle area. Anyway, if you know of anyone, or run across anyone who loves these speakers like we do, please send them my way.
 
Thanks,
Randy"

I have the FF1, which is pretty much the same speaker with 12" woofers instead of tens and bigger cabinets. My mids and tweets were upgraded before I got mine, but I'm sure the Dynapleat/Emit-R combo works great, and they will work in normally sized rooms, unlike mine. A DCX 2496 and three amps would make these sound incredible IMO.

"Sorry will have more pictures this evening

Nice pair of VMPS Tower II Special Editions dark black oak.

All the upgrades available at the time.  (2) 12" carbon fiber woofers with phase plugs and rubber surrounds, 12" passive radiator, phase plugged carbon fiber mid-range, inverted soft dome tweeter (FOCAL I believe) and ribbon super tweeter.

Very clean sound from 22-20khz.

They are useable and all factory. as is they sit they are are projects that get used. the only speakers that are missing are not ribbon or super tweeters. All the super tweeters and carbon fiber speakers are in there not blown I have the downward passive radiators but need recone. The factory cabinets are all there I would say 4 foot tall and over 100 pounds each without speakers. The ribbon speakers would be more than my asking and pick up only"
