Looking to audition VMPS speakers?

I'm starting my speaker search by lining up some stores to go listen to various brands/models. I want to hear the RM-40, any chance there are members here in the SF Bay Area that have this speaker and wouldn't mind a visit from a fellow audiophile

You could try that Big B guy that lives in the East Bay

Yep that's right Brian is just across the bridge in El Sobrante.

Give him a call at 510-222-4276.

Just ask for "Big B"

The Big "B" guy you think....I must admit to being a little hesitant about that idea, I hear big B was not in the best of moods at CES. Ah well, no pain no gain right

just bring some food for him to eat while you listen

I've been to Brian's on more than one occassion to audition his speakers, and everytime he's been EXTREMELY accomodating and very, very friendly.

It also doesn't hurt that he has a very good, accoustically treated listening room and a bunch of models to compare.

I wouldn't hesitate to call up Brian and check out his speakers if I were you.

I want to thank the AudioCircle member who was kind enough to invite me over to hear his RM40's this coming Monday. I'm really looking forward to this first time ribbon speaker experience. I wonder how wife friendly these speakers are going to be

ah well, if I get hooked she'll understand....hopefully

Judging by your AVATAR, it doesn't look like she's too fussy about how things look

My dentist tells me he can work wonders if I'd give him my stereo system in payment.

I'll give you a call tomorrow Brian, maybe we can set something up for Saturday. I've heard food helps a lot with the mood swings...I'll call the caterers before I come, have them whip up a veritable feast I will!

I'll eat anything that doesn't eat me first...
