Infinity Renaissance 90 -VS- VMPS RM 30 OR RM 40.

Hi,
I am very interested in speakers that use planar mids and ribbon tweeters. I have heard and read alot of really good things about the classic Infinity Rennaissance 90's as well as the VMPS ribbon monitors.
Has anyone out there heard or owned both the Infinity Renaissance 90, and the VMPS RM 30 or VMPS RM 40 loudspeakers and/or compared them?
If so, how do the VMPS and the Infinitys compare sonically head-to-head?
Which has the best highs and top-end?
Which has the best mids?
Bass?
Which is the most detailed and transparent?
Any comments would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

VMPS does not license from ET. Sonigistix, the OEM for the panels used now by VMPS was a lisencee of Eminent Tech. When Sonigistix closed shop VMPS bought these planar drivers in large quantities.

Speaking from personal experience ET's are some of the fastest speakers around, with exceedingly low distortion figures (for the LFT VI <.04% HD, 100 Hz - 20KHz, 90 db, 1 meter) as well as some of the select few that can pass a square wave (read they 're transient perfect). And yes they can sound a bit thin at the low end depending on system and set up of course, but nothing that a good sealed sub can't fix.

Well the VMPS RM40s once heard will not be forgotten.
I've owned a pair for a few years now and must say they are amazing. They do it all better than any speaker I've heard, with the exception of the somewhat narrow sweet spot. I'm running mine with a newly aquired DK Design VS.1 integrated amp (this amp is the best sounding amp I've had on my RM40s).
If you can accomadate them, they may do for you what they've done for me.... blow u away!!!

I wonder how the RM40's would stack up against ESS Rock Monitors...
