VMPS Ribbon Monitor RM-40 in Ebony Maccasar - $1900
« on: 26 Nov 2017, 10:45 pm »
Selling due to a move. Great pair of sequential serial numbers RM-40s in excellent condition, can demo, sound great. Finish is Maccasar Ebony, these were ordered from the factory with the optional upgraded crossovers, internal wiring, and wool filling. Dimensions are 66"H x 13"W x 17"D, the weight about 250 lbs each. I am the third owner. I estimate they were made in 2004. Minor scratches here and there - they are hard to notice. Included in the sale are a set of spare ribbon tweeters and the original passive radiators (currently using CSS APR-12 adjustable passive radiators, they face down at the bottom of the speakers, slot-loaded, cannot be seen in pics). Grills were re-done less than a year ago and the fabric looks new (but these speakers are best used with the grills off!). These cannot be shipped - not easily anyway - so this is a local pickup sale, item located in Pittsburgh PA zip 15317 (you can also organize your own shipping). Message me if you have questions.

Hey - thanks for the lowball, still appreciated.  I would rather continue to listen to them sing for that price,  so will pass.   I do drive to Philly frequently for work,  maybe I could deliver,  but that number is not even close to the ballpark!  Happy New Year!

Beautiful speakers and good luck with the sale.  Just wanted to let you know that you listed them in the car speakers category on Ebay.  You might want to move or relist them in the home audio speakers section.

Regards,
Gary

This turned into a major challenge with Ebay tech support.  I used an old VMPS speaker posting that was listed under Ebay Motors AND in a different country,  and trying to change it to the right category in Consumer Electronics was not easy.  Apparently, Ebay Motors is very different from regular Ebay (and the fees way higher, so Gary  may have saved me some money by pointing this out - I may owe you a beer!). I ended up having to create a new listing from scratch.  This may be destiny's way of slapping me for selling the best speakers I have owned (sorry destiny, still selling them as moving 540 pounds 3000 miles to my new house is not part of the plan   :nono:).
