Staring after my college days--those speakers then were not at all high end. Couldn’t afford much.
Allison Ones 1976-1988
Paradigm 7 1988-1990
Vortex Screens 1991-2007 Von Schweikert’s early effort.
Heard about Audiogon and other sites to buy used.
Emerald Physics CS-2 2006 Didn’t like the veiled highs.
VMPS 626R 2007-2011 First speaker I loved.
added VMPS 215 VSS sub 2007-2010
Asked Brian Cheney it I could become a demonstrator/agent. Did this until his death and the end of VMPS speakers.
VMPS RM40 2011
VMPS RM30 2011-2012
added ACI Maestro sub 2011 The VSS sub spoiled me.
VMPS RM40 BCSE MLS 2012-2014 sold them--big mistake
Green Mountain Audio Continuum 3HX 2013-2017 Rarely used.
Selah Tempesta 2014-2016 Looking for something smaller but good.
bought back same pair of VMPS RM40 BCSE MLS 2015-present
Vapor Audio Joule/Cirrus hybrid 2018-present
Bottom line--I really like the sound of VMPS speakers, but not the size (260 lbs. each).
As a VMPS demo-agent, I had opportunity to own several models and also to trade up to better ones because owners would call me and ask if I was interested. For me, VMPS is tough to beat in sound--the clarity of 40" of ribbon drivers and the authority of the bass.
