Actually there are two 10" woofers and a tunable passive radiator in the RM-40. Cones do the work only below 166 hz, the rest is ribbons. There's apparently even a kit form available, and a money back guarantee. By a large margin these speakers at $4600 a pair are the best speaker bargin in high end audio, IMHO.
How good are VMPS RM-40?
This is the description:

It's interesting that they actually state "1%" distortion. I've never heard speaker mfr list that. They seem like very dynamic speakers which I like. Also much deeper bass (24 hz). So spec-wise they look really good. They also won Best in Show at 2002 CES.
Right now I have Nautilus 804 and haven't heard anything I like better. Triangle Celius was good but seemed to have less dynamics and needed tubes (I prefered the Unison SET)Well, I guess the best speaker is always the new speaker you haven't heard that everyone's raving about.
Has anyone heard any VMPS brand of speaker? I don't think there are any stores that demo them and I cannot seem to get a reply to my e-mails to VMPS - very frustrating.
