Speaking of Joseph Audio Pearls

i wonder how vmps rm40s stack up with these speakers? i got a feeling they are better and priced much better too.

perhaps the speakers you are mentioning have a beter soundstage in some ambient way, but i think the vmps are much more detailed without being bright, and have a more immediate sound. you have a good amp to drive them with.

i was at the ny show too. and i really did enjoy the manley/joseph audio presentation. it ws the best experience i had there. especially the last song on vinyl.

but even after that show experience, vmps rm40s are the speakers i want to get.

if you can spare the room for vandy's 5 than go for it it's an excellent choice for the money.

You can call Jeff Joseph. His phone number is on his web site. If he's not there, leave a message and he'll call you back. At least that's how I did it.
Cheers,
Allen
