VMPS RM30C & M Versions

We predict this latest speaker in the VMPS Neo loudspeaker line will make a greater impact in the high end than that of the award-winning, breakthrough RM40 & RMX. It answers the requests from audiophiles since early 2002 for a speaker priced between, & more attractive than the RM2 & RM40. Its premium blending of price, performance, f ...

Woofer Options: apartment dwellers, persons with 1st octave room modes, persons desiring moderate bass extension, &/or persons already possessing a quality subwoofer will be pleased w/the C model’s high 30Hz cutoff. The M model’s side-firing 10” 80oz-magnet Megawoofer extends to the high 20Hz range. The mirror-imaged L-R speakers are reversible, allowing the 10s to fire either inward or outward to maximize the averaging of room modes, ala RMX. We generally recommend:

· Smaller rooms &/or short sidewall spacing = 10s face inward
· Larger rooms &/or long sidewall spacing = 10s face outward

Notes: for customers using a separate subwoofer & desiring maximum transient accuracy we recommend blocking the RM30 PR’s to convert it to a sealed cabinet. Email me for directions. Converting a C model to M specifications would require modifications to the PR’s & crossovers, & a 9” hole cut in opposing side panels of each cabinet.


I would like more information on the flexibility mentioned in "Woofer Options" section above, especially in conversion to a sealed cabinet. I find it amazing that the same cabinet internal volume could accomodate all the options mentioned. I have been using sealed speakers with twin subs for several years and have found that the combination produces very good integration without alot of fuss. Is the sealed cabinet really going to be an authorized option or is this just speculation at this point?
