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.

Hi,

Why did you replace the tweeter and did you make crossover adjustments for the G2's different parameters?

Thanks.

The original spiral ribbon tweeter went bad, the ribbon foil broke and was coming de-laminated from the face. I did not make the crossover change, I had planned to along with flush mounting the tweeter but never got around to it. I feel I have reflected this in the price since most of the recent LRC sold went for between $550-$650.

I am presently using an RM2 as a vertical center and plan on buying or building and RM40 to replace that. As stated above, the only reason for the sale is that the wife want to downsize the living room system from a 5.1 to a 2.1 system. This is not an issue with me since my main system is now in the basement where I built a new HT.
