I sold my VMPS RM 40's, never could get them to sound right, no matter what I did. Of course, it is "My Fault", because the "putty wasn't right", etc, etc, etc .... They use a planar magnetic design invented, and abandoned by Eminent Technology. It is SAID that some Dragoslob Dude puts Neo magnets in them. I heard major problems in the VMPS RM 40, like voices coming out of 10 inch woofers. The design has two 10 inch woofers seperated by a LOT of distance. The VMPS midrange driver dont really like to play low, so the top 10" woofer is called on to play midrange. It rolls off up top slower then the bottom woofer, presumably to avoid interference effects ? But when I lowered the midrange level to match this woofers level, voices jumped to the TOP of the soundstage, LOL Like I said, the speakers are long gone, so no one is gonna "hurt" my feelings. IS there problems with these drivers, this speaker, or did I do something wrong. This VMPS adjustable putty/level crap reminds me of a freaking Carnival. The minute you actually WIN a stuffed animal, an excuse is made you cheated. This "adjustability" IMHO allows VMPS to place fault on their poor customers who "did not have the speaker adjusted properly" I am glad they are out of my life.
