VMPS Original Subwoofer (x2) - (Ilwaco, WA)  $500

http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/ele/4917913996.html


NO PICTURES

"Two (2) VMPS Original Subwoofers in the original floor space saving tall format (vs. low boy). These are the subwoofers created by Brian Cheney that caught everyone's attention, filling in the low end to his highly regarded speakers. NASA even bought some of these VMPS subs for the low distortion performance according to the brochures.

This pair has received the Megawoofer upgrade, which means the original poly cone woofers have been replaced with the improved real woven carbon-fiber cone 12" woofer with wood phase plug. This makes for better performance and, well, looks pretty cool. (These were the same woofers used in the very TOTL VMPS speakers including the "Best of CES 2003: High End Audio" finalist RM/X.) They can be used crossed over unusually high to add low end to minimonitors and still sound great. These are the as sold purely passive variant intended to be used with an external crossover (one set of binding posts) negating the need to bypass old crossover components inside. (My preference since active solutions these days are superior to the old passive approach some of these subs came with.) Condition would be near to excellent except for one from-the-factory veneer issue on the top of one sub where a paperback book sized area is slightly raised. (They'd probably be rated a 7-8 by most standards.)

Original specifications from the brochure, performance (distortion, frequency response, power handling, etc) has been improved with the Megawoofers:

VMPS Subwoofer
-Frequency Response: +0,-3dB, 19Hz-600Hz
-THD no more than 0.5%, 22Hz-600Hz with 1W drive
-Sensitivity: 94dB/1W/1m
-Maximum undistorted output: 126dB/1m for 5% THD
-Driver Complement: bottom-firing, mass-loaded, slot-loaded 15" passive radiator, front-firing 12" polypropylene cone woofer
-Recommended crossover range: 60Hz-300Hz
-Impedance: 8 Ohms
-Power Requirements 20W rms min, 250W rms max
-Dimensions: 27 1/2"H x 21 1/2"W x 17"D, Weight: 90lbs
-Internal wiring: Powerline speaker cable

Price is for both together, which is about what the drivers on their own sell for. Will not separate; these are audiophile subs that excel with music and stereo bass is the only way to go with that. Offers considered, but trade for other audio gear with my adding in extra cash for something I'm looking for would be my preference. Will deliver to Seattle area for a small fee to help with gas or gratis if a trade is involved."

VMPS (ST II)  6 12'' subs with highs and mids separate connections for both - (Leesburg\Ocala FL)  $250

http://ocala.craigslist.org/ele/4884735005.html


EMAILED FOR PICS





"Has two front facing 12s and one underneath. Highs and mids screen. Separate hook ups for both highs and subs. Love them but moving and there's no way I can have them there."

UPDATE

"I got these from an elderly man who passed away few months ago. He never used them. I took the one speaker out the bottom because it was not even a speaker so I installed another 12 in the bottom of each one. I've had them about a month and have had them hooked up to my receiver. They need to have a power amp to really make them rock. But just hooked to the receiver it shook my windows and the neighbors."

VMPS Supertower IIa/R Speakers - (Dover, DE)  $575

http://delaware.craigslist.org/ele/4887632834.html





"For Sale: Pair of classic and rare VMPS Supertower IIa/R speakers circa 1985. Tremendous sound with true bass below 20 Hz ! These are among the largest speakers ever made, and stand over 6 feet tall and weigh over 200 lbs. each. 13 active drivers and one slot loaded 15 inch passive radiator create a massive wall of articulate sound at any loudness you can stand. Retailed for $3,000 a pair back then. Well reviewed by Stereophile magazine, search the web for the article. Simply amazing speakers with no equal if you have room for them. Watch your friends gasp when they see and hear them. All foam recently replaced, as well as new grill cloth. Otherwise all original, no mods. The oak veneer is acceptable, but is not fine furniture, and could use refinishing. Obviously cash and carry, no shipping or delivery given their size. Don't miss out, I guarantee you will never see another pair available locally again if you pass these up. I will only respond to e-mails showing serious interest."

These speakers have the FST ribbon tweeters, Neo Panel midrange, 12” Carbon Fiber cone woofer and a 12” down firing passive radiator. Two sets of binding posts allow for Bi-wiring or Bi-amping and include L pads to adjust treble and midrange output. Since the passing of Brian Cheney, VMPS has gone out of business and these speakers are no longer available but the last list price for a set like this was over $3,000.

Specifications
Bass- 30cm (12") woven carbon fiber, 30cm (12") Passive Radiator
Mid:- two rectangular 10 x 20 cm (4 x 8") Neo ribbons, 280 Hz - 6.9 kHz

Output levels and distortion:- max. 1% THD fullrange/1 W, max. 112+ dB SPL / 1 m

I have 5 sets of VMPS speakers plus a LRC and a Larger Sub. The only reason for this sale is to downsize my living room system from a 5.1 to a 2.1 system.

Speakers are too big and too heavy to ship so local pickup only. I can deliver these speakers in the Milwaukee/Chicago area with upfront payment and if you cover the gas costs. $1,200

VMPS LRC (Large Ribbon Center) for Sale  -  (Kenosha, WI)

http://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649164640-vmps-lrc-large-ribbon-center-for-sale/





"I have a VMPS LRC for sale. It is Cherry in color with a black cloth grill. It is in fair condition. This speaker originally came with a spiral ribbon tweeter which I replaced with a FST ribbon tweeters (Aurum Cantus G2 Ribbon Tweeter, $192 at Parts Express) It has a single Neo Panel midrange and (2) 6” Carbon Fiber cone woofers. These are the upgraded 40oz Mega woofers VMPS offered as an upgrade. The speaker includes two L pads to adjust treble and midrange output. Since the passing of Brian Cheney, VMPS has gone out of business and these speakers are no longer available but the last list price for a set like this was over $1,100.


Specifications
Bass: - 2x 16 cm (6") WCF megawoofer, front reflex loaded
Mid: - rectangular 10 x 20 cm (4 x 8") Neo ribbon, 280 Hz - 6.9 kHz
Treble: - FST, 6.9kHz - 30kHz
Impedance & Sensitivity: - 4 Ohm (3.6 min.) 90 dB/1W/1m
Power handling: - 250 W rms / 4 Ohms, 20 W min.
Frequency response: - 35 Hz - 25 kHz +0/-3 dB
Dimensions & Weight: - 27H x 82W x 33Dcm, 23 kg (10,5"H x 32"W x 13"D, 50 lbs)
Output levels and distortion: - max. 1%THD fullrange/1W, max. 110+ dB SPL / 1 m

The reason I rate this speakers as fair is the cabinet has one scratch on the end. I also replaced the plastic grill guides that broke when it was shipped to me with magnetic grill fasteners. When I mounted the FST, I did not mount it flush. All drivers work perfectly and none of the above effect the way the speaker sounds. You will be hard pressed to find a better sounding center channel at any price.

I have 5 sets of VMPS speakers plus a LRC and a Larger Sub. The only reason for this sale is to downsize my living room system from a 5.1 to a 2.1 system.

The speaker is too big and too heavy to ship so local pickup only. I can deliver these speakers in the Milwaukee/Chicago area with upfront payment and if you cover the gas costs.
This is a stock photo, I will replace with photos of the actual speakers once I have time."

Vintage VMPS smaller subwoofers sub - (Walnut - Inland Empire, CA)  $450

http://inlandempire.craigslist.org/ele/4900543721.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 each or both for $450

If the listing is up they are still available."
