For sale are a pair of VMPS RM/X Elixer speakers. These are beautiful speakers and can fill a room with great sound.
I'm the original owner of these special speakers. The speakers include the full upgrades, including the FST tweeters and TRT capacitors. We have enjoyed listening to these speakers very much for music and movies in our living room.
These VMPS RM/X speakers are in great condition. There are very few if any scratches. The one exception is a hairline crack at one of the speaker's base. The crack does not affect the mobility or sound of the speaker in any way. You need to be close up to the speaker to see the blemish. Because of this single blemish, I'm rating the speakers as a 7/10, but they are visually more like a 8/9 out of 10 otherwise. The operational/sonic aspect of the speakers are like new and well cared for.
I've taken several photos to communicate the beautiful condition and finish of each speaker. The grills have remained on the speakers at all times in a clean, non-smoking living environment.
Each speaker contains 7 layers of automotive black lacquer, so they present like a grand piano finish in the living room. Of course the sound is very pleasing with a large soundstage.
