I have these speakers for a few weeks, use them with a tube amp then soild state amp, big room and small room, music and movies.I mate these speakers with polk audio sub my opinion is they are fantastic speakers. all around speaker I use them in my small man cave. for music the speakers almost disappear movies do not need rear speakers they are that good thank you very much.

I purchased two CG3 speakers in July of 2017. Now that I've had a little over a year to break them in and get to know these speakers, I'm happy to say that these are indeed in a class by themselves. I am a television editor and listen to expensive studio monitors every day. For the money, I don't think there are ANY other speakers that come anywhere close to these. I have found that they are balanced and while listening to Jazz, Classical, and Rock, voices and instruments are well defined and the sound is clear and never muddy. There is presence and warmth that is surprising for such a small package. Before I purchased them I had several questions so I called and left a message requesting a call back. To my surprise Howard Rodgers himself returned my call. We had a very enjoyable half hour conversation where he explained compression guide technology and talked about the return of RSL. We also reminisced about the original RSL in the 1970s. After he answered my questions, I went ahead and bought the pair to use with my vintage 65 watt per channel Yamaha CA - 810 stereo amplifier that was once connected to RSL 211s - 8" 2 way speakers, I bought from RSL in 1977 or 1978. I loved those speakers! I'm using them with a passive 10" Subwoofer. The crossover hand-off from the CG3s to the Sub is smooth and invisible. My sources are a Teac A-1250S reel to reel tape deck and a Technics SL1800 direct drive manual turntable with Shure M110HE and Ortofon 2M red moving magnet cartridges. I’m excited to own RSL speakers once again! I rate them 5 out of 5 stars. (This is a revised and corrected review)

A friend recommended these speakers to me and after really looking into them, I pulled the trigger and bought them. These speakers live up to the reviews. After the recommended break in period, I put them to the be max and they sound great with zero distortion. Thank you Doug Booth for recommending them and thank you Howard for being so humble. I will be getting more of these speakers.

It has been about 6 months or so since I purchased a pair of CG3 speakers from you and couldn't be happier. As I mentioned when on the phone with Mr. Rodgers, my father owned a pair of RSLs when I was a kid in the 70s there in California and when I discovered the brand had returned nostalgia for the wonderful experiences I remembered from my wouthful exposure to RSL demanded I give them another look. After reading some reviews and speaking with some of your team I made the purchase and am so glad I did. It would not be an exageration at all to say that there have been moments when I have been moved to tears by what I've heard from these wonderful, milk-carton-sized boxes. I have my RSLs hooked up to an inexpensive ($130) Yamaha Bluetooth Receiver at 100 w/ch along with a cheap ($99) Boston Acoustics Sub which is almost off the gain is turned down so low and am presented with an absolutely enveloping wall of sound that has instrumentation and ambience coming at me from all directions--the system is completely transparent. I may not have high-end, exotic equipment (yet), but I still have plenty of imaging, staging, depth, and width--not to mention the profound joy of being able to get lost in the music and forget the system entirely; The music just comes at me from all around me. Fantastic job team! What a privilege it must be to work and create for your brand.

After talking to Joe, and being between a few brands I decided to go with RSL speakers. I came home from work and there was the box containing the CG3 speakers. I picked them up and was struck by how heavy the package was. I opened up the outer box, and they were packed nicely, and double boxed. I then opened up the 2 individual boxes containing the speakers. The first thing I noticed was how beautifully finished they are, beautifully pained and overall pretty to look at. The next thing I noticed was build quality, and the weight of these babies. They are solid, a few knocks on the cabinet and you will know you have solid speakers and tight cabinet without resonance. You know sometimes by the weight of a speaker of what the quality is and these have that quality feel to them. Then I get out some old banana plugs and wire them up to an older Denon receiver I have, just a plain old 2 channel system for now. Now onto the most important part of a speakers true quality, the sound. The movie Castaway happen to be on at the scene of the plane crash into the Pacific ocean. Well the level of detail, and the size of the sound stage was incredible for such little speakers. I heard every single smash, and breakup of the plane hitting the water. Everything, but only what was intended, nothing added, no coloration at all. Back the the sound stage, its so big from such small speakers that you would think you were listening to towers. Honestly I don't know how they did that. Another movie was on, the animated movie "Monster house" and again the detail of the house coming alive was way beyond what I would have expected. The wide sound stage is astounding but in the end its the level of detail, the nuances that really blows me away. So to say the least I'm very impressed, actually blown away by these speakers. RSL knows what they are doing. The testing, over testing, and the engineering really pays off, because you hear it in the speakers. Many thanks to Joe Rodgers who answered more emails of questions I had a right to be answered. Great customer service goes a long, long way and its just about the best here at RSL.
