Some things sound too good to be true. Don't know if Vapor is one of those things or not. But you have to ask why or how they are able to do what they do and then why not others? Doug's article explains a lot about as well as anything I have read or heard. If you are comfortable dealing with a "boutique" like product that you like, then I'd say go for it. But just be aware there is usually no free lunch. Always +s and -s no matter what you buy, where you go.
Vapor Sound Audio/tons of Value for $$$$
I've spoken to Ryan a few times and he has always been upfront and very nice to me. What I find with his speakers is he doesn't do what many others do. Example Stiff Breeze..speaker cost somewhere around 2400 and he has spent on parts close to half of that which is insanely good for the customer. Typically, speaker companies spend 600 for that same 2400 speaker. He doesn't cut corners and from a business point of view, isn't as profitable as he should be. He puts too much into speakers and doesn't charge enough. He also is a custom shop, he will add things depending upon what you want and listening tastes. I purchased the lsa statements and they are good speaker..then Terry London did a review on Stiff Breeze and it was quite better then my Lsa's. I am selling my LSA"s and was and still am leaning ref 3 a mm de capo's..but Ryan and is insane value he offers has me in a tug of war. If you want a great speaker in the 1700-5K range I'd strongly recommend you contact him to discuss options.
