I recently picked up a set of VMPS speakers that are in remarkable condition. I'm a big fan of older Yamaha equipment and when I hooked the speakers to my newly recapped CR-820 I was absolutely blown away. I need help finding info on them. I think they are Model 2 SE's. The serial numbers and instructions have been covered up by at resonance arrester that has been attached by screws AND adhesive. Trying to get the arrester off will only result in tearing the papers on the back. I'd like to know roughly the year of manufacture and if there might be a manual available. I will be taking them to a fellow that specializes in speakers as soon as he get finished with my JBL's. He will go over them and service them as needed.
Thanks

There were never any models called "2". Perhaps upload a picture, or go to the threads that have old brochures. Regarding rebuildint them.. no offense to your friend, but if he is not familiar with VMPS models, I would not ask him to do anything to them.
Brian Cheney, the designer, used crossovers that were highly unusual. Also, if you were to replace the drivers with anything different, you could substantially change the sound.
Lastly, the "resonance arrestor" that you mentioned does not sound like anything OEM.
