I have always wanted to own a pair,I just recently purchased my first pair used.
I got super tower 3s i believe.
Thanks to John for helping with the overhaul , which has so far been the 12 inch mid bass and 15 inch woofers.
I did experince my fisrt time catching the ribbon tweeters on fire ,the glow blue then went up in flames when I tried to bi amp . added a cap in series with heils to try to prevent that in future.
I replace the smoked tweeters with HEIL tweeters I had laying around due to smoke test.
I am a budget audiophile,I was on the Orion board of advisors for several years,I began in this hobby with audiomart the 1 every 10 classified add in the mail,I do ebay and audiogon, I have owned over 50 amps preamps,a few cd players and other stuff,in the end what I have the least money in I keep unless the difference is way above and beyond in the price.
I live in Texas and work in Colorado.

VMPS tower 3s 1980's vintage I think
very pleased so far with sound will be refoaming the pr's and vitrifying them and resealing all drivers and binding post cups with silicone.
Thank you Brian for getting my replacement woofer shipped out before the holidays I know you had to be busy.
Thank you John for your help with the overhaul.
I favor extremely tight bass so any suggestions from the forum would be appreciated in tweeking the VMPS's.
