Review: VMPS RM40 Speaker
I still own a pair of RM40's purchased in April 2005. I find them to sound harsh in the midrange and have not been able to correct this amusicality with putty pinching and L-pad level controls. No fun! Ear bleeding sound with the AVA electronics i... 
Is there an alternate to Martin Logans?
For a great price, try Jim Winey's entry level Magnepan's. They sound best hung up in the air or mounted on top of woofers of your choosing. And they are cheap. $300 bucks for the saran-wrap only model (mylar), or $550 for the saran wrap(mylar) wi... 
OHM Speakers
Really nice of you to offer the 4XO heads for sale. I'm sure these will sound at least very good. I just purchased a pair of VMPS RM40's used for $3000, and another pair of speakers just doesn't fit into my living room. Here's why. I've got a twen...

Magnepan Speakers - Ribbon Replacement
Erider:Call Magnepan. They have very good customer service. If you wreck your Magnepans, they will fix them for a reasonable cost. Even if you do something stupid, like I have done. Remember ex-president Gerald Ford trying to ski? (Ford was presid... 
Anybody heard Martin Logan Summits?
Good luck, you are on the quest we all have.I've got a pair of VMPS RM40's, a pair of Martin Logan Quests, and a Magnepan MMG/NHT1259 combo that continues to knock my socks off. Well, at least some of the time when I'm not bitching about the Magne... 
OHM Speakers
I owned Ohm Walsh 4's from 1985-1995.Great speakers. Great customer service from Ohm. I had a slight problem (one speaker sounded louder than the other); Ohm sent me a new "top" for no charge. The surrounds rotted and the voice coils burned out an... 
Magnepan MMG
Hey that's great! I use a Van Alstine Omega3 in a Hafler 220 chassis, and a Mosfet120 done beautifully by Frank himself. And I've even tri-amped the system (My Maggies are on top of NHT1259 woofers placed in large cabinets). Also have a PSE Studio... 
Magnepan MMG
I think the MMG's tend to sound a bit constricted and bright. I own them and like them a lot. I have mine mounted about 24" high on top of a couple homemade woofer boxes (using NHT1259 woofers, one per MMG). I use an electronic crossover ($500 fro...
