Have you ever heard a home theater system that made a movie sound so real you wanted to take cover during a shootout, but the price made you cringe or walk away? Instead of telling yourself “Maybe someday…” check out what RSL speakers can do.
We have broken the price barrier on high-end home theater speakers, making realistic surround sound more affordable than ever before. How we did it is simple:
First, we used our exclusive Compression Guide Technology (C.G.T.). C.G.T. is an advance in modern speaker tuning, that literally pulls sound out of the speakers and brings it to life all around you. Second is our direct pricing. We have no expensive stores and by eliminating dealer and middlemen profit, the savings to you are enormous. Third, is our 40-year reputation for designing and manufacturing great-sounding speakers that are built to last.
Expensive 5.1 ht systems are available just about everywhere, from large chains to pricey home theater boutiques. Making 5 high-end speakers and a quality sub sell for an affordable price is always a challenge. Common practice is to replace the speakers’ high end parts with lower cost alternatives. Most competitors feel with 5 speakers operating at once, it’s much harder to distinguish the reduction in individual sound quality. We do not share this approach. Our C.G.T. provides higher quality sound at a low price so that each speaker in our system is considered top-of the line with the highest quality parts. This is why we believe our home theater systems to be the best value and we’re willing to guarantee it.
Our 5.1 home theater system includes 5 small easily placeable speakers that provide a sound field that’s larger than that of most floor-standing speakers. C.G.T. results in clearer imaging, making each sound realistic and distinguishable. The bass is handled by our Speedwoofer 10, which blends perfectly with the other speakers picking up precisely where they leave off. Its C.G.T. produces smoother, faster bass with plenty of available power. You’ll never be able to tell that there’s a separate subwoofer.
Our goal in designing this home theater system was to “take you there” like no other comparably priced system can. With movies, you’ll hear every detail as well as experience the intense, but highly accurate bass capabilities of our Speedwoofer 10. With concerts, you’ll actually feel that the sound approaches that of being their live.

RSL 5.1 Theater Speaker System
Compact Speaker Reviews
“The RSL CG4 and CG24 made a gratifying first impression that never wavered as they journeyed through content with the unflappability of an experienced traveler. They were coherent from top to bottom”
“The balance among midbass, midrange, upper midrange, and high frequencies was everything one could hope for.”
“Bass integration between satellites and sub was seamless.”
“…..the RSL system delivered the goods with as little listening fatigue as I’ve ever had with any high-resolution speakers delivering a noisy movie.”
“It was hard to believe I was listening to loudspeakers driven by an amplifier.”
“I fell in love with it from the first moments I listened to it.”
“…a product can achieve a five-star performance rating only if it is “reference quality.” This speaker handily qualifies.”
“It got the best out of everything I used to audition it. Wow, wow, and wow again.”
“…the price/performance ration for these compact speakers sold direct on the Internet is through the roof.”
Tested: RSL Speaker Systems 5.1 Theater System
The SoCal speaker kings are back — and performing above their size and price point once again
“The RSL sats sounded tight and honest.”
“The CG4 was accurate and well defined on voices and instruments, without any distinct coloration or bias. I found its sound to be open, crisp, and perhaps just the tiniest shade “forward” over the top octaves, but still even and unforced, making for an airy, detailed presentation.”
“I was halfway through Harry Brown’s credits before I realized that the RSL system had simply delivered the cinema-sound goods, left, right, and center (and surround).”
“Whatever I played, the system continued to deliver clarity and unforced detail.”
“Listening to the Corigliano (and other music) in surround proved satisfying, too. The surround-channel CG4s did not “flashlight” ambient sounds, while the front pair locked up with the center CG24 to form a truly seamless front stage.”
“RSL has a very, very good small speaker system here. …..it performs, without fuss, at a level higher than most at this price point. disregard physical size; for this kind of performance, it’s a bargain.”
PRODUCT REVIEW: RSL COMPRESSION GUIDE SPEAKERS
AFTER TWO DECADES, THE NEW RSL CG SPEAKERS COME WITH A SURPRISE IN EVERY BOX
“I was able to pick up subtleties I had not previously heard. If speakers are windows into the music, these windows were squeaky-clean.”
“James Taylor was present in the room with his characteristic vocal insinuations, accents and humor intact... outside the box.”
“with the RSL CG24 Studio Monitor, the ground rules of performance versus price are about to change.”
“At no time was the sound fatiguing nor was there any smear or lack of definition among all those layered sounds coming from the CG system.”
“All in all, this was pretty amazing performance from a $750 subwoofer (RSL Speedwoofer 10).”
“The system imaged wider than anyone had a right to expect, including vertically.”
“the Rogersound Labs Compression Guide speakers represent the same outstanding value and performance that they did decades earlier.”
Hands On: RSL Compression Guide Speakers
An old speaker company is reborn.
“The RSLs created a very rich, three-dimensional soundstage that seemed larger than such small speakers should be able produce.”
“On movie soundtracks, the system also performed well. Once again I was impressed with the fullness of the presentation.”
“After spending a couple of weeks tossing a wide variety of music and movies through the speakers, I packed them up very impressed with what a $2,075 sub/sat system could deliver.”
Rogersound Labs
Compression Guide (CG) Stereo System
"The first thing I noticed when I sat down for serious listening was that the speakers completely disappeared. This fundamental and sought-after characteristic of all music systems is hard to achieve, especially at this price range and often at much higher price ranges.”
“The speakers threw a wide and deep image with great definition throughout the soundstage. This has always been an advantage of small satellites but often falls apart when the subwoofer is added. Not so with the RSLs.”
“Vocal music, both male and female, was full with plenty of midrange detail.”
“I played some big symphony works and they sounded wonderful from the deepest bass to the highest highs. The system was especially good at portraying hall acoustics faithfully. I was very conscious of the acoustics in the silent spaces between cuts or movements.”
“But the best thing about this speaker system is the way music literally leapt out of the speakers. Its not that they had an exaggerated front and center perspective but the timing and pace of the music were so palpable it was hard to sit still. I found myself playing the RSLs much louder than I usually listen because the music just didn't want to stay inside the speakers. It wanted to come outside and boogie. At the same time slow and quiet songs and movements drew you inside to enjoy the terrific detail.”
“I really believe the star of the RSL CG system is the Speedwoofer™ 10. Once properly set up it delivered strong, deep and dynamic bass with truly excellent detail. In my main system I use a subwoofer that costs 3 times the RSL yet does not go as deep with the same level of detail.”
“RSL gets "it", that listening to music should be fun and you will have fun with these speakers.”
“Even if you are willing to spend twice as much you should listen to the CG Stereo System.”
“You are sure to enjoy all your old recordings more than ever before.”
