That made me even madder!

VMPS certainly is not gonna tell the truth about these POS speakers, so WHO else but an ex VMPS owner, or perhaps a competitor who has familiarity with these drivers.
The thread started off asking about the VMPS drivers.
I wondered if THEY were the problem ?

Let's be real Fred, the people here are unlikely to buy ANYTHING.
They are builders and hobby people.

If you are worried about "stepping on the toes" of commercial interests, SHUT the place down.

I have been in this hobby 30 years, and almost ANY commercial product is considered a POS and fair game by some DIY guys.

No matter how good value a product is, a DIY guy can always do it "better for less".

An Audiophile will say "A Wilson is an awesome speaker"
A DIY guy will say "The Wilson is a cheap POS that uses a 14 dollar Vifa metal dome"

This IS a DIY forum, and I admire commercial guys for hanging out here like Danny Ritchie and Rick Craig.

And, I WISH you didn't live in Texas Fred, or I would have bought your needles array, Vifa drivers and all.
