Alright --

Up for grabs is a pretty good shape pair of VMPS Tower IISE...

Has a mark about 1 ft off the floor on one tower, about 1/8" wide, 1.5" long -- does not break veneer. Can be touched up or refinished

Several marks here and there scattered on the top of each...

Grills are in great shape, bases are made of MDF - finished by paint, I'd rate the bases about 6.5/10...

Have brand new PRs...

JM Lab Kevlar Inverted Domes
Raven Ribbon Super Tweeter
VMPS midranges and woofers

Speaker features a midrange with its own enclosure --
Dual 12" active woofers and a 12" PR ----

They are extremely detailed, laid back, not a very forward sound...

Great for small rooms with no room for a subwoofer, as they definitely do not need one --- the detail on the top end is phenominal....

Only reason for selling is -- not quite as good as my Taylos which currently sell for about 4 times the price vs. the VMPS -- so what can you expect

Sold BRAND NEW FOR 3,400 dollars!!!

Will sell for the same price I paid from Early B's friend --

Local Pick Up is preferred, will ship at buyers complete expense, this includes packing materials (roughly $50.00 + in 2" foam -- boxes are free) --- + actual shipping cost + insurance --- garunteed to arrive as described!!

120 pounds (x2) from 28023

Price? $600.00

Would like to point out ---

Cabinets are oak veneer - painted... anyone willing to spend a week or so with some paint thinner and sand paper and is good at finishing can have a FANTASTIC looking pair of speakers!

    Well to be honest with ya.. LOL

    I bought them because Brad said they were better than mine...

    They arn't exactly worse -- they are different, which isnt exactly my kind of sound...

    They are so accurate, to me is almost sounds unreal ---

    they are the BEST speaker I've ever heard for low volumes, late night listening --

    The detail they bring to the table is absolutely unbelieveable, the bass even at low volumes has a kick to it..

    Hard to describe -- it will knock ya out as far as detail and bass goes... pretty good mids to boot

    But those Taylos are my baby's... hahahha

    What kind of info do ya need? :)

    They are flat to about 25hz... if you have any kind of high frequency hearing loss, they will definitely remedy that problem as they present details better than any speaker I've EVER heard.. - period... the Revelator tweeter in my Taylos arnt even as detailed as these speakers

    Use a high quality Focal tweet, and an even higher quality Raven ribbon super tweet

    All surrounds are rubber -- no foam, carbon fiber woven cones on bass and midrange drivers

    Can be bi-wired or full range at the flip of a switch

    They also cook your breakfast!

    Hey lightman --

    Take a trip to Trey's and put a listen on those TII's. Bring your RTA's and compare. I'll bet money you'll walk out with the TII's on your arm.

    Low level listening quality and cooks...!!! I'm sure there's no question against the RTA's.
    Sounds promising. I listen to music at a low to moderate level when reading. Just tired of adjusting the low HZ for the 10's for every CD.

    And Brad, I can't get the fishy smell out of that Denon.

    How 'bout an audition?

    If I was like Russman and had like 20 rigs in my house....

    This would be a definite bedroom/low listening level speaker system type deal...

    In my small room though... ;)

    This offer is good until November 30th, midnight -- and after that it will be back to 550 - non negoiatable and price will be deleted afterwards

    And that is $450 dollars -- no extras, straight speakers

    I refuse to let these speakers sit around to gain dust

    Im going after a set of these in the next year --

    Wont have the room to have the VMPS around ---

    super_rm_lg1.jpg

    I've pretty much decided, after hearing the 1.2TL side by side, the Amazings, the VMPS, the Grande Utopia - etc etc

    There isnt much out there that I am going to like more, maybe parallel -- so why do something different when all I want is right here ---

    These speakers (VMPS) really are good speakers, they just 100% are not my cup of tea...
