VMPS 626 JR

I have read several reviews on these speakers and was wondering if anyone has personal experience with them. I've never owned a ribbon/cone combination and am curious as to how the combination sounds. My music tastes ranges between jazz, swing/big band, vocals, acoustic and some rock. Listening levels are between 60 - 90 dB.
The reviews didn't mention it but the dealer said these speakers sound great and are very detailed when driven at the levels mentioned.
Any personal insight is greatly appreciated.

I borrowed a pair of the 626 JRs and found them uninvolving. They can also sound a tad bright and I didn't think the driver integration was very good. Overall I would grade them a solid "C" for their price.

The speaker to beat under $1K is the x-statik Open Baffle Loudspeaker. Amazing for the price.

I think all of the speakers mentioned in this thread are better than the VMPS.
