Request setup tips from VMPS RM-40 owners.

Aram,

I appreciate your response. I did find a lot of info and started a thread there as well.

Thanks,
Alan

My setup was simple, after one month I carefully boxed the 40s and used a dolly to cart to garage and then placed a for sale ad in Audiogon.

PS If you keep the Bryston, MSB and Kimber you may only make a week before journey to garage.

Dennisj;

This is about the first negative comment I remenber seeing on the RM40S. Could you elaborate on what problems you had, or what you didn't like about them to prompt you to sell.

Thanks,
Alan

I owned the RM2s before I purchased a used pair of 40s locally from a friend. I was expecting far more as to sound quality as they retained the same house sound of the 2s.

Likes......

Great bass extension
Very good imaging and soundstaging.
Very musical in the proper room with proper electronics etc.

Dislikes.....

Big and heavy
Poor craftsmanship for the asking price
Something always needs to be updated $$$$$
Small sweet spot
Way to much tweaking needed to sound decent.
Overall tonality of both are just not to my liking.

IMO the 2 and 40 are great HT speakers and to get the best out of them for two channel you need a brute of a tube amp and everything else downstream better be excellent and a MATCH for the 2 or 40s.

I think a home audition before purchase is mandatory for potential customers. All feedback on the 40s that I have read are positive, so do not condem me for not following suit.

P.S. I actually owned both.

Dennisj,

I appreciate your candor, and would not begin to condem your comments. I am still hoping to really enjoy these, but in all honesty, cannot remember hearing all positive comments on any other product. Looking back through old threads, it seems I read that you at one time had the PSB Golds. I am upgrading from them, and would really like to hear your comments on how they compare, and what you think I could hope to expect, using my fore mentioned components?

Thanks again,
Alan
