Hello HFG,
and welcome to the VMPS circle.
We have a couple opera singers who have elected to go VMPS in their speaker choice.
As far as the upgrades, in the RM30/40 series the TRTs. the FST, and the the Silver Wiring options are great options and each adds those small subtle layers of detail and resolution we all crave.
It is hard to go wrong with either speaker since in their "stock" form they are world class price/performance champions, but by selecting the options mentioned above you move into a "high performance" arena that has to be heard to truly be appreciated.
With a good front end and a little set up and tweaking, you can enjoy some operatic performances that are truly incredible.
While not an opera buff myself, I have had several clients in to listen, who brought along various opera cuts that are truly lifelike and incredible in their soundstaging.
In some operas I found that sitting in the sweet spot, you could actually hear how each performer moved around the stage and in some cases even which way they were facing as they sang.
Maybe "SoundGuy3" will drop in and mention how he is doing with his RM40s (another Opera Singer who Brian actually visited and heard in New York ---was it at the Met???)
