These were built by fredT300b. He is well known for making nice speakers.
I have owned them for about 5 years, I got them directly from Fred, who told me
They were the Houston audio society reference speakers for a long time.
They are super well made, double thick front baffle, and heavy. They are rear ported.
There used to be a great website , I think from the original designer, but its gone.
Not too much more about these on the net. They are supposed to have a flat
Response, and tube friendly impedance curve too.
I have used them with both tube and solid state amps, and they always sound great.

They are DIY so they are not perfect, and they look to be spray painted black.
But they are smooth with round edges. They are solid and heavy.
This is for local sale in the Portland area. There are more pics in my gallery.

P.s. I believe the drivers are higher end units, and no longer made.
(If anyone's knows more about them please chime in.)

Looking for XXX now $250 obo. 
Thanks, David

  I built a pair of the VSS Eros about five (5) years ago for my son. Excellent sounding speakers from top to bottom. The Vifa / ScanSpeak drivers work very well together. Bass response is clean, deep, and well defined. Midrange and treble are very smooth and detailed. The selling price of $250.00 for these speakers is a true bargain.

Any chance you might ship the drivers and crossovers?  Howard

Thanks, David

Well, that's a plus!

I've never heard these speakers, so I'm going in 'deaf'. I read their description in the link you provided, so I'm interested enough to want to listen to them. However, thanks to WAF issues in our family room (HT setup) any speakers must be placed fairly close to the front wall. With their rear port, I worry they may suffer boominess  if placed close to the wall. (I'm trying to be as upfront as possible with you.)

I'll follow with a pm shortly.

Well Mike,
   I guess it depends on your room too. Mine were pretty close the wall,
(About 6-8") I never noticed any boominess, but that could just be me.
I'd be happy to demo them for you.  Unfortunately it would have to be in my
Garage.  I moved into an apartment, and don't have room for them.
   They are a steal and will give huge bang for your buck ,for $250. I promise!
If I was in a house I'd keep them.
Anyway let me know if you'd like to hear em?
David
