At RSL Speakers we’ve been building speakers of all sizes since 1970 including giant monitor speakers. Regardless of size, the CG Stereo system is the finest sounding stereo speaker system RSL has ever produced.
There are 3 reasons you’ll find our speaker values unbeatable: Our exclusive Compression Guide Technology (CGT) results in affordable speakers being able to produce the clarity and distortion-free sound associated with the costliest high end designs. Second, you buy directly from us, eliminating dealer and middleman’s profit, which typically saves you half, and finally we use the highest quality parts.
In designing the ultimate stereo speaker system, we chose the 2.1 approach using a separate subwoofer. It offers many advantages over traditional floor-standing speakers. Our patented (CGT) enables our small CG4 speakers to produce a sound stage and image that’s larger than other speakers that can take up half your room. It also allows our subwoofer to perfectly match our satellite speakers, so there is no gap between them. You can place the subwoofer virtually anywhere in your room so that you achieve best bass distribution. This is a big advantage over the big speakers that have everything in one cabinet. Also, unlike them, you can dial in the exact amount of bass for your taste by our wireless remote control.
Our CG Stereo System includes 2 RSL CG4 satellite speakers and the RSL Speedwoofer 10.
All speakers feature the finest parts including stylish, high-gloss black piano finish enclosures.

THE ACE UP OUR SLEEVE
STANDARD SPEAKERSÂ &Â SUBS
Standard hollow cabinets do not address cabinet resonance. Resonance adds distortion which reduces sound quality. Speakers sound boxy and unnatural. Subwoofers are slower, prone to slop, and lack articulation.
RSLÂ SPEAKERS & SPEEDWOOFERS
Compression Guide reduces cabinet resonance. Sound remains pure and unaltered. Speakers sound natural and life-like. Subwoofers become drastically faster and more articulate. Bass stays tight and clean at all frequencies.
Compression Guide technology is the difference between RSL speakers and all other speakers. It’s the secret behind our award-winning sound. It’s why RSL speakers sound so clear and incredibly realistic. Watch the video below to learn more.

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS
BY THE MOST DISCERNING AUDIOPHILES
OMG OMG. The sound is on and IT IS INCREDIBLE!!!! It’s the rich, deep sound I love and have enjoyed all these years—but somehow better. More clarity? Your son was so right: I can feel the presence and position of the musicians!! Listening to Yo Yo Ma. In heaven:)))
Wow, this adds so much to my life:). Thank you thank you for your support; almost returned it—gasp. I can’t believe the clarity.
Glad to see you back!! Great products were a mainstay since day one. It is nice to see CG Technology carried over to their products with a great fast result (for old Schooler). Their monitors had great air and space, rich, but not over done soundstage. (Posted on 6/4/11)
Excellent sound reproduction, especially at the price. (Posted on 6/15/11)
I've been using the RSL Speaker system for 2 weeks in a recording studio setting. I have a pair of the CG24s along with the Speedwoofer 10, which I listen to at higher levels and I give these a 5-star rating. In the past I've never used a sub in my studio for mixing, as I usually get an inaccurate bass transmission when I take the product out of my studio, but with this speaker system it's nice to have the extra bottom when needed. I find it easy and accurate to build my stereo image while mixing and it gives me a very natural listening environment - not over hyped and I'm able to do long hours without ear fatigue. I would also like to add that the remote that comes with the sub controls is very convenient. (Posted on 8/16/11)
I ordered my speakers and subwoofer on 12/22 and had them set up and working the following evening. The level of customer service was as outstanding as I remember from the old days. Having used my old 3600 studio monitors and Elans for the last 30 years or so as my primary speakers, I was blown over when I found that RSL was back. And indeed....with a vengeance!!! My new CG24s and subwoofer are amazing!!! The sound is simply fabulous!!! I will be purchasing the rest of my system in a couple months and can't wait!! I'm thrilled Howard and his team are back and look forward to a very long and healthy relationship with RSL. I would ask anyone who buys these speakers and is happy to spread the word........RSL is back!!! (Posted on 12/30/11)
So far, I'm clearly impressed with what I'm starting to hear. Although, I'm still breaking in the monitors, the frequency response seems exceptional. I'm working on a mix that I was producing prior to receiving the CG24's. After spending some time with the monitors, I remixed the song to demo for translation purposes. I can already hear that frequency balance and quality is much improved. Plus, I am hearing performances with much more clarity, as tonal qualities are much more true. Voices, Acoustic instruments, and other mid range parts are present and transparent... I'm enjoying working with them! (Posted on 1/18/12)
I really like this setup with the two CG24's and the Speed Woofer. Its easily my favorite way to listen to music because of an open sound quality with great mid detail and smooth highs, but with the bass to back it up. And if you have to watch a movie in 2ch, it can rock that too!
This setup reminds me, sound quality wise, of my old favorite Sennheiser open ear headphones, because of the openness and clarity of the CG24's but with way more power bass with the speed woofer. Love it!
Just wanted to let you know that the system is up and playing and sounds just great! It was a wonderful surprise to to talk
to you and do business with you. I will be telling all my friends that there is hope in sound system business and try to steer
them towards Rogersound Labs systems.
Outstanding Value!
I wanted to get back to you with my listening observations after having used the PrimaLuna DiaLogue Premium Integrated Amplifier with my RSL speakers for a couple of months now. Let me say that I have been very pleased with the PrimaLuna; it definitely brings out the best in my RSL speakers. All sources of music have improved in clarity, dynamics and detail. I listen to vinyl on a Rega RP3 with stock cartridge; albums sound very natural with what I consider to be little coloration. My digital source, the Sony HAP-Z1ES, sounds great as well, playing everything from mp3 files, standard CD resolution files, as well as HD music files, including DSD. I also occasionally stream music from Amazon and iTunes through the PrimaLuna; the sound is certainly acceptable, though not up to the quality of other sources. I use the 8 ohm taps on the amp which seem to work fine with my RSLs.
All in all, I am very satisfied with the PrimaLuna/RSL combination. Both products seem to complement each other. I could not imagine a better sounding system for the money, though some may laugh at my modest system.
Thanks again for turning me on to the PrimaLuna amp and RSL loudspeakers at The Show in Newport. Your loudspeakers and my new amp have brought me numerous hours of great listening pleasure. By the way, I listen to 60s/70s rock; New Age music; some jazz; some classical and some folk. Having the RSL sub provides the deep bass on all types of music, but surprisingly on the New Age which has some very deep synthetic bass. For a real treat, take a listen to Flight of the Cosmic Hippo by Bela Fleck on CD of the same name. There is some very deep bass which is a great demo track for any speaker system.
