I have to be honest! I didn't know anything about RSL Speaker Systems until Gene DellaSala told me about its existence. After following them for some time, I have to admit that I've become a fan. This company doesn't have an ultra wide variety of products like many other companies do, but they do have a high standard when it comes to their products and that deserves to be mentioned and recognized. Believe me, I wouldn't be saying this if it wasn't true. As far as I know, they only have 6 speakers and all of their systems consist of different combinations between them depending on their purpose. For example, lets talk about their Studio Monitor System. (See picture below)

This system is the latest edition of their 41st year of legacy. The Studio Monitor consists of two of their awesome CG24 speakers (which can be used either horizontally or vertically), and the Speedwoofer 10 subwoofer. The Speedwoofer 10 is controlled via a wireless remote control and features an external receiver box. The receiver box can allows you to use the remote even when the sub is hidden.

This speaker system uses their exclusive Compression Guide Technology (CGT) which was developed back in the early 80s and refined for even better performance in this series of products.

Check out the following picture to learn more about their CGT and how it works! Don't forget to share your thoughts about this technology.

I don't know about you, but I like RSL's built quality and how their speakers look. What do you think?

I don't understand all the tech of the speakers I just know they sound awesome. I chose RSL based on an interview I heard with Howard & Joe on HT Guys podcast and the enthusiastic review here and else where. I called a few of the ID companies and when I talked with Joe (the co-owner) he was very knowledgable and helpful. He has also been very helpful post sales answer questions even ones there is no money in it for him. Once these speakers where broken in they sound so awesome!!!

If your in the market for new speakers do yourself a favor and at least check out RSLspeakers.com
