hehe, so I've read...but I can't say that VMPS has a bookshelf that I'm really interested in. My system will still be hovering around $10K as I'm mostly upgrading in terms of speakers but going from a full tower to bookshelves...don't have as much to spend on this stuff as I used to.

VMPS has the 626r. Check out the pics: LINK
For FYI's, go to this VMPS forum: VMPS Forum
For VMPS Q&A, email John Casler at: bioforce.inc@gte.net. The guy is really knowledgeable about VMPS products. He's also a dealer that can give great discounts.
Check the 11th and 12th pics down -- RM40 MLS Rosewood and African Ebony. Something hilarious about seeing the VMPS cabinets standing in front of a big stack of Rockets!
MLS does have his hand in just about everything.

Yes. MLS does have his hands in many pots.

Well, I hooked them all up and they all work... plus the Pioneer 1014 works too
I can't turn it up though because it's 3:35am and my sister is working at the zoo today (meaning she has to get up at 4:45am)
I'll crank it today though and see how the 1014 handles things.
I set it to 6ohm mode after downloading the manual and looking it over. I also reset everything to factory default to get rid of whatever crap happened to the settings at Best Buy.
I was having trouble finding the 1014 manual from Pioneer, but then I remembered that it has the same internals as the Elite 52, so I got the manual from that one and everything that's in that one appears to apply to mine.

Congrats on the Rockets! I can't believe I missed this thread.
Break the speakers in for a while before making any judgements. The guys at AV123 are great, they'll help you with any issues you have.

Yeah, I've sent them... let's see... 19 e-mails :shocked:. They've been really great helping me with everything.
I asked Sean about the receiver issue and he said they'd both be great options but the 1014 is probably a slightly better choice.
Are you shocked that you missed it because you have Rockets yourself? I'd love to hear anything you'd have to say about them even though I already bought mine
I don't have rockets but I have been following them since they were first introduced. I have be able to listen to them and they are very nice speakers. I'd love to hear a pair of their reference speakers some day.

Cool.
What are you running now?
I know I've said this before, but I honestly think these speakers are going to last me a long time. I'd have to drop some serious cash to get something significantly better than these (like the reference series)

I don't remember hearing that.
What kind of finish did you get? I'm incredibly happy with the rosewood finish on mine.

Yeah, I've seen a lot of pictures of the reference series and it seems like most people opt for the birdseye. Looks pretty nice, but I don't think it really appeals to me too much. Unless the pictures are way off, I think it's too bright for my tastes.
Thats probably the only complaint I could find about them though
So that's just for music listening for you?
