Title: My VMPS Larger is for sale.
Post by: audiomagnate on 15 Nov 2012, 12:19 am
I recently acquired a set of big Infinities, RS 2.5s and after some mods and active biamping, feel I don't really need the sub any more. I upgraded the 15 in July to the megawoofer status, and it looks and sounds great.

Hi,

I'm very interested in your vmps larger.

Though I have a AudioCircle login ("skippersit"), I've never been active here. However, I have a strong positive history
on the Audiogon site (also under the login "skippersit").

If you wish to speak directly, my name is Fenton & my email is "fent.chaney@gmail.com".

Thanks,

Fenton (aka skippersit)

That's not possible, I tried buying Pez's pair of Larger's and you can only ship them via freight because they are so heavy,  which was something like $900-$1000, some ridiculous amount, from Colorado to Washington state. Not terribly far. Regular shipping rates do not apply, has to be freight rate.

I just bought new VMPS larger; they can ship UPS Freight, which while it is a little more expensive than regular UPS is nowhere near what you quote.  Bay Area to Reno (~250 mi) was just over $100 for  what turned out to be overnight delivery, and about $50 of that was "liftgate" which is the same regardless of distance.

Not only is it possible, it's real. I have 2 bids for around $120 to the Denver area, 250 miles from here. That is living room to living room "white glove" service, no packing required. They wrap it in blankets and round out incomplete moving loads. The estimate for New Jersey is $200 to $500

SOLD. Shipping from Grand Junction to the Denver area (250 miles) was $134 via uship.

That actually pisses me off a little. If I'd know about that service I'd have two VMPS largers in my room right now.

My Usher cp6371 are 150lbs packed each and it was only $120 UPS inured freight 2 years ago, Wisconsin to NC. Yes longer distances are more but not that much. At $500 or more you might as well pick up.  Fed Ex does freight too.

Try some powered TBI subs...much smaller and very fast.

No, I'm very happy with the sub I've chosen, although I don't doubt you about the TBI sub.
