So if Amir didn't like your speakers, would you enjoy them less?

Interesting, so you intentionally allowed an anomaly in the response expecting EQ, given that most systems have EQ these days, to smooth that in a typical setup? Seems counter intuitive, but Amir is saying it works. What about a stereo setup that generally does not employ EQ? They look nice

I wouldn't enjoy them at all if he hated them...they would be burnt of course.

I had a discussion around 8 months ago with Joe from RSL about measurements versus results.....
I replaced the RSL tweeter on my center CG25 with an MB Quart Titanium tweeter. (I just love Mb Quarts)

I told him that god knows what that did to the measured results, but I loved the way it sounded...gave me that extra clarity that's always needed in a center. (Mb Quarts are really "hot")
He told me that RSL walked a fine line between measurements and real world results and that they had many designs that had to be shelved that sounded great, but measured bad.

Reading Amir's review, I now know exactly what he meant...as unorthodox as it is.
The review here on Audioholics is really the definitive review though.

RSL Speaker's recent release of the CG5 and CG25 speakers have raised the eyebrows of audio industry. Did RSL produce a premium higher end product at a more moderate price? Read on to find out.

My sentiments exactly. I have a strong suspicion I would not like those speakers. I certainly would be back to the drawing board if that were one of my designs.

It's funny in a way... it's almost like Amir's review is on a similar basis to the things Shady get's picked on when people complain about the "value" metric of the rating system.
It seems Amir recommends them despite the fact that they are flawed, but clearly perform at a certain level that he was comfortable treating with EQ. *shrugs

Anyway... who's to really say. For pure HT, EQ'd... and for the cost... Sure. I wouldn't choose them, but that doesn't mean that they don't have their place.

Is there any horizontal MTM that you would like?

The port system that RSL uses boosts the bass too much. Other than that, they aren't bad speakers. The good thing is that bass is easy to EQ, so I can see why Amir liked them.

No!

If one is into measurements as the holy bible, and that is what makes them happy, that's all that counts. I kinda prefer Erin's reviews and videos. Then there is the, "Cheapaudioman." On You tube.

Not sure why you'd buy a pair of center channel speakers and run them vertically but all that matters is that YOU like them. They are pretty!

I don't know who Amir is but isn't it more important that you like your speaker?

Apparently , fmw didn't realize that this was a satirical post originally...after 50 years of buying, selling and building speakers of course I don't care who likes what I like or not.

I personally don't care who likes a persons speakers or not. We all buy what our ears and our wallets like not what someone else likes or wants you to like. .

If that were the case, why would people come here to ask which speakers they should buy?

Correct. I was not aware. But it is a relief to read this post of yours.

Just my opinion. Plus the guy already bought the speakers. If he likes them, that's all that should matter.
