Strangely enough, I have been searching for a speaker line to replace VMPS (virtually impossible task) and I have come across one here that has the same design as you used.They use a driver similar to the HEIL Air Motion Transformer (only bigger and with a horn) in a two way. Haven't heard them yet, but they might have a chance.

For surrounds on a 7.1 system would you go with a VMPS dipole for the side surrounds and 626's for the rears or just 626's for all 4 surrounds?
The original ESS AMT-1 design uses a 12" flat passive disk, rear mounted. I decided to change that and emulate the Supertowers by moving it to the bottom and slot loading. Made the base tall enough to get my hand in there and add or remove putty. The woofer is 4 ohms to match the original design. This is also to stay in line with the crossover which is designed for a 4 ohm woofer. The intended crossover to the Heil is around 800 Hz.I have not done any putty pinching so haven't tuned the bass but so far things sound pretty good. One of my main goals for this center channel was very clean midrange and vocals and the Heil has already achieved it.Ed
