RM40
"One of the best speakers in the world has just gotten better. This is a Component of Exceptional Merit." |
|
|
|
|
RM30
"A speaker that can match the dynamic capabilities of competent horns, the immediacy of electrostatics and planar-magnetics, and the fine detailing and imaging of the best dynamic designs." |
|
|
|
RM2
"Stunning dynamics and incredible bass response alone are enough to make me want them. They are at or near the top of this group in virtually every category of music and sound reproduction, and haven't a single glaring weak point." |

QSO
626R
"I’ve owned more expensive speakers than the VMPS Signature Edition 626R monitors, but nothing has bettered them. They are now my reference for top-quality sound in a monitor design." |

Subwoofers
"Beautiful tight articulate bass with no noticeable distortion. Will play at 115 dB or more at the 20Hz range without breaking a sweat." |

"About the LRC bass being powerful and extended, I was more than pleasantly surprised - shocked is more like it. How you do that?" |

Small size and wide range of Neo ribbon midrange made
it possible to build a smaller three way speaker than
our acclaimed big SuperTower or FF models.
Ribbon Monitors 2 and 1
were born. Next development, RM40 became the
2002 CES winner in high-end audio category only a few months after
its introduction.
Every VMPS loudspeaker has controls for level adjustment of every driver (or group of drivers), other than bass. Every floorstander features tuneable slot-loaded passive radiator. Soundcoated cabinets are standard from RM2 upwards.
RM/X
"Elixir", among many
innovations, was the first VMPS to use new FST
tweeter, later available in
all models. Later addition in RM range
is RM30, which in
some instances can be considered as a compact version of RM/X. RM30 introduced new 16cm WCF
Megawoofers, later optional on 626R.
In
2007, RM family is further extended with unique RM
V60 loudspeaker. RM V60 + VLA
subwoofers then represented top of the
line system.
Previous top of the line Super Tower III/SRE
used
Raven R2 ribbon
tweeter and Neo midrange drivers, nine per side.
There are five subwoofers.
Biggest is the Very
Large Array, following are Very
Solid Sub and Larger Subwoofer,
then 215
and Dedicated
Subwoofer. Passive crossovers
in subwoofers are optional. Every subwoofer features tuneable slot-loaded passive radiator.
VMPS
Neo ribbon loudspeakers based home-theater setup
can be completed with a Large
Ribbon Center or RM30
C as center speakers, and Dipole
Surround as rear or effect speakers.
In 2008 VMPS offered "SDE"
versions of existing models. SDE stands for Special
Digital Edition, meaning these speakers are
prepared for operation with digital active
crossovers and bi-amping which is a significant step
forward in sound quality.
Last achievement - RM50 Dual Line Source Bipolar Array is
a full-range speaker that can reproduce a big ensemble of players and singers in a large space for a substantial audience without strain or distortion.
You can upgrade most VMPS models with deluxe components and high quality finishes.
Crossovers in all our systems are executed at the high quality level, with
Teflon silverplate
wiring, Erse “Super Q” coils, and
Axon and custom polypropylene capacitors. We can think of only one way to improve on these parts: superpremium capacitors from
Audience (Auricap) and TRT, parts too expensive for use in many of the costliest high end competitors including, unbelievably, those retailing in the six figure range.
1. The Auricap upgrade gives you some of the most highly reviewed crossover capacitors available, providing a significant and audible improvement in the quality of the signal throughpath. There is a lot of literature available on the Audience website, including magazine and webzine articles. Suffice to say this is a highly recommended option for any of our ribbon speakers. |
|
2. Some music lovers are not content with less than the very best, however, regardless of cost. To those demanding few we now offer the TRT
Dynamicaps, “naked” (unwrapped) handmade caps which the factory hand-peeled to the exact value required for each of our models. While the Auricaps are very good, we feel the TRT’s go to another level.
The TRT’s are not cheap, but they are very worthwhile. |

3.
New 16cm WCF Megawoofer for QSO 626R. This

4. Completely new cabinets, called
MLS are available for RM40, RM30, 626R and
LRC. Gorgeous finishes, and even better
construction with more mass and internal braces.
Choice of genuine wood veneers include rosewood,
african ebony, maple, walnut and piano black.
5.
Constant Directivity
WaveGuide upgrade for all loudspeakers. CDWG
gives even off axis response for all VMPS
loudspeakers which reflects as huge improvement in
sound. From the outside CDWG looks exactly the
same as regular grilles. As an upgrade, it is also
required to upgrade existing passive radiator for
those suited for operation with CDWG. Currently only
available for RM40, for other models expected app.
