Request setup tips from VMPS RM-40 owners.

I just ordered a pair of RM-40s with FST tweeter upgrade from John Casler in Los Angeles. (Nice Guy) Any initial setup tips would be appreciated. I will be using these in a 27' by 19' room with vaulted ceiling. Due to WAF they MUST be placed on the short wall about 11' apart, and my listening point is about 17' away.
These replace my PSB Stratus Golds, and I plan to retain my Kimber 8tc biwire cables, and existing components. Bryston 4bst, Rogue 66 Magnum preamp, Msb dac with p1000 PS, etc.
Would appreciate anyones comments.

Thanks,
Alan

Nice choice..RM40 is an excellent speaker..I congratulate you for your choice..I would suggest you to ask this question on audiocircle.com..they have a forum there and I am sure there will be lots of people willing to help you..the other thing I will suggest you is to change your speaker cables..I think RM40 deserves better cables than Kimber 8TC..anyway I hope you enjoy your new speakers..

Aram,

My setup was simple, after one month I carefully boxed the 40s and used a dolly to cart to garage and then placed a for sale ad in Audiogon.

PS If you keep the Bryston, MSB and Kimber you may only make a week before journey to garage.

Dennisj;

This is about the first negative comment I remenber seeing on the RM40S. Could you elaborate on what problems you had, or what you didn't like about them to prompt you to sell.

Thanks,
Alan
