NEW

SPEAKER Pedestal for the 626jr and 626R standmounts.

It allows one to fill it with sand or other ballast/damping. and the MSRP will be $289 pr, but if purchased with a pair of VMPS speakers, or if you are a VMPS customer, your price is $199 plus $49 shipping (in US).

The good thing is that it has a solid front to act as a beard for better bass response.

This of course can be used with non-VMPS speakers also, and the Holiday Special price to "non-VMPS" customers is $199 plus shipping.

Almost 8" wide x just under 11" deep

23-24" high

Includes spikes and damping pads for top plate.

Constructed of high density MDF

Satin Black finish only.

While VMPS Subs have always been known for their POWER in the past, to be sure, the HT SUB builders have been busy at work building MONSTER drivers with Earth Shaking output.

While our vision of the perfect sub is STILL the one that is the most musical and lowest in distortions, we also recognize the desire of our customers to want that OMG moment when it is called for in their HT or full Orchestra recordings.

To that end we now have the VMPS OMG Series of Subs which are now available in ALL the following models:

VSS
VLA

These subs will still be exceptionally musical, and accurate, but when the moment calls for it like Viagra, the OMG Series is READY for the test

These Drivers are SO massive and heavy that we cannot ship them installed in the subs. They MUST be shipped separately and they too are in TWO boxes. Then when you receive them you attach the motor to the woofer, then attach the leads to the woofer, and screw the woofer to the cabinet.

This is what the driver looks like:

Here is a youtube that explains how to assemble the driver after you receive it:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1RIMfzCxXM

We will offer the 12" and 15" TC woofers.

This is what the OMG VLA

Here is what it would look like:

The OMG VSS:

They will be offered as OMG Series Packages and will require the Woofer and the new TUNED Big Bump Passive Radiator to accomadate these drivers.

Will the Floorstanding speakers like the 40's be available with TC woofers in them?

Brian Cheney · « **Reply #9 on:** 16 Jan 2012, 10:49 pm »

Yes, contact the factory for pricing. TC has long lead times and is frequently hard to get.

Hello, I sent an e-mail to the address listed: Sales@VMPSaudio.com, but it was returned. Needed to get some additional information. I have the Super Tower/R SE that I need to do a partial replacement/upgrade.
Thanks!

Hello John,
My name is Bob. I just heard about VMPS speakers through an acquaintance of yours , Bob Stark of Plainfield Illinois. He spoke very highly of you. I live near him. He may sell me some Rm30's he has(or he may keep them). Two questions- are there any new ones left from the factory? You seem to know the most about this line of speakers. Secondly, Bob was really enthusiatic about some Sistrum equipment stands he owns. There happens to be one up for sale now on Audiocircle.
I just joined Audiocircle two days ago and I guess it takes a long time for approval for me to do anything. I can't get a hold of the seller. Is it possible you can help me and have the seller contact me about his stands? I know it is asking a lot , but I don't know what to do. Any help would be very much appreciated. My phone # is (708)224-9206- my email is Rarndt15@comcast.net. Thank you very much, Bob Arndt

Hi Bob,

1) No there are no more RM30s (and no factory) so jump on the ones that Bob has since there won't be anymore.

2) I think you need a few posts to be able to do certain things on AC.

I just searched through all the Classifieds and see you made contact.

John Casler,
I hope you are still monitoring this post. Do you still have RM30 midrange drivers for sale, the 2.4 ohm version?
Thanks, Lee
