Subwoofers and the bass they reproduce play an important role in your enjoyment of movies and music. Having a subwoofer doesn’t mean you’ll be getting the bass you desire. The way in which your room distributes bass has a lot to do with how your subwoofer will perform. If a room has even bass distribution,
It's a safe bet you enjoy good bass response in your music and movies. As audiophiles, we've discovered long ago that bass reproduced by most speakers or a subwoofer is usually not very accurate or lifelike. This is still true today. So, how can you tell if the bass from the speakers is accurate? Here’s
The importance of your listening room’s acoustics cannot be overstated. It can make or break the sound quality of your system, even if you’re using high-end equipment. Here’s a quick way to get an idea of what you’re dealing with acoustically in your listening room. Walk into the middle of your room and clap
A few months ago, we did a blog titled: Power Ratings and the Games People Play. This is an important topic, because many consumers choose their Audio/Video Receivers based upon the number of watts per channel published by the manufacturer. Unfortunately, as they say, "power corrupts" and a number of manufacturers are manipulating their
When it comes to audio, one of the most abused and misleading specifications is the wattage rating of amplifiers and audio/video receivers.

This past Thanksgiving, the audio industry lost a gentle giant; Leon Kuby. Lee was an important part of Harman Kardon during it's early days. He was largely responsible for the Citation line of audio components that are still cherished by audiophiles today. After his tenure at HK, he worked with Infinity (a Harman company) helping
When you purchase music on iTunes, it comes compressed, where some of the musical information is eliminated in order to save data space (there are however some lossless compressed formats that retain all of the data). Somewhat similar to MP3s, Apple has their own format called AAC. Purchased tunes usually have a bit rate of
These days, great sounding speakers seem to becoming smaller yet, the sound quality is better than ever(shameless self plug),. So, I was pondering the question: "How good was Hi-Fi in the late 50's and 60's when stereo first became popular?" Let’s go back to 1961. If you weren’t here, pretend you were. I’ll
People's ideas of how large their speakers should be have sure changed over the years. During the 1970's, our most popular model, the RSL Studio Monitor was a 12" 3 way system. It was 25" tall, 14 1/2" wide, and 12" deep. Our customers would put these in their living rooms or dens in bookshelves

Dear RSL Customers,
Please see below for current updates:
Speedwoofer update:
Due to COVID, we’re running into a number of logistical issues and limited parts availability. We’re shooting for a late February ETA, but we may be pushed back to early March. We know you’re all waiting patiently and we sincerely thank you! Please know that your Speedwoofers are our highest priority and we’re working diligently to minimize your wait.
Blemish Sale update:
Our blemish sale CG5s and CG25s are almost gone. The sale has been incredibly popular and we wish we could keep it going. If you’re considering these, please don’t wait. Remember we can always hold an order for you if you need to wait before receiving the speakers.
Domestic Shipping:
The shipping carriers are facing much higher than normal volume across the board. While most orders are arriving within the usual time frame, delays are not uncommon. Please keep this in mind in case you are working within a certain time frame.
Years of crafting, refinement, and unwillingness to compromise have lead to this moment. The CG5 and CG25 are a masterful blend of artistry and science.
