I was also blown away by Vapor speakers two years running at RMAF, and took a serious interest in the company.  Too bad they couldn't keep it together.

Some of my favorite speakers!  I heard them a few years back wt RMAF and they sounded amazing!

I think, I remember when you bought these..
I was impressed then and I’m still impressed, that is one heck of a system congratulations on your current setup..
Aren’t you the owner of Empirical Audio,..?
We’ve had a couple of conversations, and I’m still interested in your equipment.

That room looks only 10' wide, or so. That's an awful lot of speaker for the space. It must ROCK.
