Hello,
I bought my first pair of VMPS speakers back in 1981. In fact, I just found the receipt! I bought them from The Long Ear, a stereo shop in Big Bear Lake, CA.
I was 20 yrs old, and saved up for a year to pay $1000 for a pair of Super Towers in kit form. Man, did we rock the neighborhood back then.
Anyway, I still have them as my main speakers in my system, they've been upgraded once since then. Brian charged me a bargain price of $300 back in 1991 for new Passive Radiators, new woofers and new midranges. The surrounds had pretty much disintegrated on them. Then, I found the JVC leaf ribbon tweeters at a local wholesale speaker/electronics store for $17 each.
About 10 yrs ago I bought a QSO 626 (not the ribbon one) that I use for my center channel.
I also just came across some of the instructions and schematics from back then. Is there a section I can upload them to on the forum so everybody can enjoy them?
Also, wondering if there are any upgrades I can do to them with either the drivers or the crossovers. All the surrounds on the drivers are still in good shape if you can believe it.
Here's a picture...dusty, but still in good shape. He must have changed the cabinet as some point, because I don't remember coming across ones that looked like mine.
