Looks like the compensation did not work at your listening position ?
The best I have ever got mine sounding required turning my panels down, way down.
This made the woofers play louder, and filled in the hole, But caused efficiency problems,.
It also made the images "jump out" of the top woofer.
They use a staggered roll off of the two 10 inch woofers.
The top woofer is really the one going up in frequency to meet the ribbons.
Problem is, at 6 feet tall, this places you about 50 degrees off it's vertical axis!
I have went to using two of the same drivers in my RM 40's.
I need to know about possible interference patterns in my choice of a crossover point.
I have an electronic crossover that is 24 db fixed slop, but adjustable.
My RM 40 has the TRT capacitors in it.
My instincts tell me the only hope for these is to bypass the VMPS crossover, including the TRT's, and use the 24 DB one.
But, I am limited in my crossover choices because of the RM 40 design.
It is what it is, and it is what I have.
The reason I am over here is seeking help!
I want to know IF it is feasible to make these work, or if this is just a bad design that will never sound like I want it to.
The VMPS forum has not been much help, just everyone telling me I need this or that, or don't have this, etc, etc.
This WAS the Flagship design, and one would presume it was SUPPOSED to be right once/
Now, it's "wrong" and now I gotta have some new midwoofer, or CD Wavegude, etc, etc, etc to make it sound right.
What excuse will there be once I invest money in all the stuff I now "need"
"Oh, but you don't have the right wire, your DAC is shit, your putty isn't right, your room isn't treated, your music is poorly recorded, you NEED this amp, etc, etc, etc.
No thanks!
