I had the VM-2s which used the same drivers in a smaller cabinet, and only one woofer instead of 2. The imaging was excellent and the speaker was well balanced and provided very good vocal reproduction with a fair amount of fine detail. Of course it would only play so loud and with only one 5.25" woofer per speaker the bass quality was good but bass dynamics and extension were wanting. With two woofers per speaker, the VM-3 might be a more serious contender and if I could find a set of those at a good price I wouldn't hesitate to buy them (even if I used them in conjunction with a subwoofer).
