That is really cool you get the wife involved!
This keeps you objective I think.

I WAS going to build an array, but a "DEAL" came uo locally on these used VMPS RM 40's.

I have had them over a year, and I just can't seem to make them sound right.

Yeah, I can get em to sound decent on SOME stuff, but then they change radically on other stuff.

I also own 14 other pairs of speakers, including B&W 801's Von Schweikert VR 4 JR's, and JBL L 7's.

All these speakers seem to sound decent, if not good, on most material.

The VMPS are not like that, when you set their levels for one recording, other recordings sound bad.

I REFUSE to believe that they are simply "more revealing".

I have owned Electrostats for many years, and never had this problem.

Plus,, I owned Magnepan MG 3A's with long ribon tweeter,a most revealing speaker, and they did not sound like this.
