Omnidirectional speakers. The future?
Sorry I'm in LA, but there are a couple dealers in Chicago and Wisc.The reason I sell RM40s (since you brought it up) is their limited dispersion.But let me continue to say, I love the sound of many speakers, systems, and rooms. I trust no one fel... 
Omnidirectional speakers. The future?

Omnidirectional speakers. The future?

Best Speaker Match for JC-1's : VMPS or Von S.?
As a VMPS dealer I think you can guess where my reccomendation might lie. But I have heard "both" speakers and they both are incredible and each have their own sonic personalities.I really like the VS and would also say that in a well treated room...

Seeking $15,000.00 speaker to replace Quad 988's
Hi Hammy,Somewhere I missed the original poster saying that the new system had to pass the "wife committee". : )Although all my girlfriends seem to like the stacked Sub set up. I guess it is all in how it is presented.The sound is truly "HUGE, Rea...

What did you replace your DQ-10's with?
Legacy Sig IIIs then VMPS RM40s (But I still have the DQ10s and occasionally drag them out for some listening, and they still sound absolutley astonishing)But if you want the ultimate step up, the RM40 is the ticket. I liked em so much I became a ...

Room Treatments added, with negative effects..
Hey Aging Attorney! No hard feelings and my intention was not to be so agressive in my responses (must be those new testosterone stimulating vitamins and herbs, I've been taking)I too have been around the block a few times and I'm sure I'm years o...
