Selah Chalcedony & VMPS RM-30 - Any others?
« on: 2 Jun 2004, 07:25 pm »
My mind is pretty much made up already, but thought I would just throw this out anyway.  I'm looking for my next set of speakers including mains, center and surrounds.  The two companies I've focusing on are VMPS and Selah Audio.

I have pretty much decided on Selah Chalcedony mains, Sardonyx center, and RM3R (with Seas drivers) as surrounds.

The other option would be VMPS RM-30 mains, LRC center, and LRC for surrounds.

I like how both sets can be tuned to taste.  The Chalcedony 12" woofers are powered by plate amps so each can be adjusted separately.  VMPS has mid and treble adjustments.  the center channel is very important to me also.

VMPS is more expensive and the amount of upgrades and options turns me off a bit.  Knowing me, I just wouldn't be happy unless I got every option possible.  That would be pretty expensive.  If they really are that good, it's worth it though.

There is really no info about the Selah speakers mentioned above which makes it a tougher decision.  At least ther's a return policy.

I would be running them with Odyssey monos for L,R,C, Tempest with AV bypass, Cary 303/200 CDP, Denon 4800 receiver, and Pioneer DV47A.

Does anybody have an opinion or comparisons about these two choices?  I would especially like to hear from people that have tried one or the other or both.

Thanks

How about the Linkwitz Orions and the GR Research Alpha LS.
