VMPS RM-40 - Anyone Heard


Has anyone heard (or seen) the new VMPS RM-40, which apparently won a "Best in Show" award at the recent CES? I've seen a couple of photos of it and the specs sound interesting, but who knows without listening...Also, I've heard some negatives about VMPS QC and cabinetry in the past and wonder if VMPS has improved with this new offering.

With speakers in most cases bigger is usually better - Soundlabs, Quad 989 - RM 40 . I ordered the 40's and Mr. Shacter already has his. I will let you know how they sound in a week or two.
I have not heard the Cabasse - I auditioned the RM 40 at a friends - I have not heard the RM 1. The 40's do weigh 240 lbs but are 66" tall so they shouldn't be too bad to handle. I already have the Eggleston Andras and they weigh close to that and are only 39" high - that is one hard baby to move.
Are there any sites with a picture of the RM 40. What are its dimensions and array, weight, etc?
I have to agree with Bookner in many areas concerning the RM 40's. I heard them today and was really impressed. There are many great and good sounding speakers and most cost more than 4600. The RM 40 draws you in - I wouldn't exactly say jawdropping but more realistic and refined than that. I have never heard better midrange or transparency than the Whisper(mids) and Quad 989 (transparency) but the RM 40 brings both of these traits together in a better way. I too am impressed and of all the speakers out there now these are the ones I want and I wouldn't doubt that I will soon have a pair in my main system.
Tweekerman I see you are still at this. Your brain must be really fried by now. I just ordered a pair of VMPS RM 40's which ship out to me next Wednesday . I will let you know how they sound in my system. When did the Cabasse come into play?
