Danny, VMPS stands for Veritone Minimun Phase Speakers.
They pride themselves on their speakers being IN PHASE.
I went to the link for the stratus mini, and see a very flat response.
So, the drivers cant be that bad.I have YEARS of experience playing with equalizers.
NOT to use them permanently, but to see what peaks and dips in different frequencies sounds like.
I have noticed that a thinness in the 100 to 600 hz range makes speakers image all over the place, and provide a SUPER detailed sound.
Unfortunately, it don't sound like music.
I hear a HOLE in the VMPS RM 40's.
I see a flawed speaker design.
To FIX the VMPS RM 40's, here is what I WAS going to do.
I was going to use two different 10 inch woofers to fit the "alignment", if you want to call it that, LOL
Then, I was gonna use a Rane 24 db electric crossover.
The vertical separation on the RM 40's two 10 inch woofers IS a PROBLEM.
I think we calculated comb filtering above 250 hz ?
I was gonna try experimenting with the crossover frequency, and steep slopes.
I WAS talking about this when I got banned from VMPS Forums.
Like they say Danny, "If you can't convince them with brilliance, baffle them with BS, and SUPRESS the truth"
