    I'm here, but this is my first night off in a while, and I'm just relaxing and soaking up some tuneage. I plan to get all the demo threads updated with new demo requests, and get the RTiA5 and VM30's moving tomorrow.

    Cheers,
    Russ

    I wonder how the VM series compares to the LSi series...

    If you're an LSi fan, the VM30's will be a big change. Personally, I like a speaker to stand on it's own. The VM30's require a subwoofer. The LSi's don't.

    I was wondering because they aren't exactly cheap and they look so cool. The size and design would be perfect in my interior.

    I hope they don't sound as nice as the LSi's, because I don't want to upgrade again :D

    Aren't there any reviews about the VM series?

    I'm going to be home a bit in July. I could give them a fair comparison to the RTi's in HT and also in the 2 ch rig.. You can add me to the list for the Demo. After Sami of course.

    Do you folks ever do demos for the Houston area? I would love to be involved as well, but live too far away from DFW... :mad:

    A Houston run wouldn't be out of the question. I'm headed down to Galveston in mid-July. Lets get some posts / participation going, and I'll post a Houston demo thread in a couple weeks. If there is enough interest, I don't see why we can't create a new thread and roll with it.

    You got it broham, Andy the non reviewing Polkie is on the list, I'll buzz his dumbass again and see if he cares to contribute to the greater good (or not) again. Slacker.

    Andy, you ready for a demo finally? Sami? I need to get over to your abode soon.

    Scott, let me know when you get settled and we'll get you hooked up.

    Thanks for the prompt response RuSsMan. I don't know how many other folks in Houston are interested, so I'll create a thread to see if some of the other Houston folks would like to participate. :)

    Russ,

    Construction is supposed to be complete middle to end of October. So, it will be Nov till I could give these a good demo. Hopefully, you will still have the speakers then.

    Looks like a few Houston area folks are interested per the thread I posted at http://www.polkaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?t=69410. I hope that's enough interest for us to proceed... :)

    Wifred, I'm talking with long time Polkie Phuz and the VM30's will be headed south in short order to make some demo rounds. Like I said, not to leave people out - but a 2K pair of speakers aren't going to be dropped off to just anyone - we've got to nail down some sort of plan here. I'm not saying you, or anyone else interested is dishonest, but as a forum whole we need to have all the ducks in a row if that makes sense.

    Stay tuned brother.

    RuSsMaN,

    I understand completely. I would love to demo if I could, but if the fact that I'm a newer member prevents me from doing so I won't complain :cool:.

    Just a bump for this thread. I moved over the 4th of July and am not using these any more. Sor far they are gathering dust in the office at our new house. Wish I had some spare gear to run these things with for an office system.
