VMPS MiniTower-IIa 5-way speakers

Up for offer are one pair of VMPS MiniTower IIa 5-way speakers in black stained oak cabinets.  Each speaker contains:
- 5" polypropylene cone isolated midrange
- 10" low-bass driver with 40oz magnet
- 10" high-compliance, mass loaded, downward-firing, slot-loaded passive radiator subwoofer
- Focal Superdome inverted harddome tweeters (upgrade)
- Ribbon supertweeter driver (upgrade). 
- 20 years old

These are low distortion, high efficiency speakers that don't require a lot of power to operate.

Dimensions: 39" X 12" X 15".  About 75 lbs each.

Everything is in VG condition and works great.

---Asking $550---

PM if interested.

I am in zipcode 94030 (SF Bay Area).  Buyers should probably be somewhat local to me to eliminate extra shipping costs.

Those mids appear to be Brian's own design, one of the two best of all the cone mids he ever sold.  Your dome is the Philips, which I much preferred over the earlier Morel MDT-29 (Brian might have sold more 29s than anyone else on earth...we went through foam trays of 29s daily).

I have a spare 10" woofer from that model for $20.
