my new speakers are ordered
« on: March 19, 2005, 04:45:28 PM »


I finally made up my mind.  The picture above is basically what they are.  I ordered them with upgraded piano black finish, auricaps in the crossovers, midwoofer upgrade, front side tweeter upgrade, and my favortie option of all, they are being fully wired internally with Bolder Nitro wire to match my speaker cables.  They are being built from scratch as Wayne is sending Brian at http://www.vmpsaudio.com some nitro for the wiring.  My bank account hates me, but damn am I excited!

The model is VMPS audio 626r "Daryan edition" as they are pretty much one of a kind. 


Cheers!

Quick, change to black ash!  Piano black is so hard to keep clean and scratch free!  I have found the microfiber cloth to work best.

The choices for the upgrade and piano black, african ebony abds that was about it.  I can't keep anything clean, so I am not sure if that is much of a consideration.  Wayne told me the African Ebony doesn't match, as in the grains aren't the same.  HMMM

I'm not a stickler for book-matched grain between speakers.  I'd go for the wood.

What amp are you pairing them with?  Beware bright-sounding solid-state amps!  I would imagine the tweeter and midrange drivers are extremely revealing.

Where is the bass gonna come from? ;D  It's hard to tell from the photo what the scale of the whole thing is.  Are those 4" mid / woofers?

For the moment, and this changes frequently, I am pairing them with a fully modified bolder cable panasonic xr-45.  This is Wayne's refrence system out in Colorado, and I imagine the detail is just incredible.  Digital amps are extremely bright sounding until the mods IMHO.  If it sucks, I will simply sell the panny and go tube perhaps, we will see.  They best pair well for 2600 clams!

More info, albeit the website sucks, is at http://www.vmpsaudio.com

$2600 for those?  They look like a bookshelf speaker?  I'm sure they're kick ass but for $2600 I'd want something more like this  ;D  :
