NEW! CG23 Monitor / Center Channel

Like the CG3, the NEW CG23 is an audio break through. The CG23 sets a new standard, achieving performance miles beyond its price. Designed to master the stringent demands of two-channel, the CG23’s exceptional clarity, remarkable resolution, and spectacular imaging, provides an experience unparalleled in realism. Never before has such a small, modestly-priced speaker sounded so spacious, three-dimensional, and true-to-life. *The CG23 can be placed vertically or horizontally and provides the subtle presence desired from a center channel. The newly designed CG23 is now available in both white and black!

UNCONVENTIONAL STANDARDS, UNCONVENTIONALLY GOOD SOUND

Its hard to explain our CG3 and 23 speakers without sounding cliché and typically-hyped. But these speakers (inspired by our ground-breaking CG4 line) are truly sensational. So we’re going to give it a shot.

While our speakers often find themselves in home theater applications, RSL speakers are always designed for 2.1 stereo first. As purists, we take this approach because two-channel is the truest test of a speaker and is far more revealing than surround-sound. Its easy to mask a speaker’s imperfections when there are four, or more, additional speakers providing support. Instead of choosing the path of least resistance, we take the opposite approach to design.

Mastering two-channel calls for a greater level of refinement and fine-tuning. Just two speakers and a single sub must be capable of flawlessly re-creating a live performance. Each speaker needs to paint a sonic picture that’s true-to-life in size and depth – with every instrument clearly distinguishable and correctly positioned. Sound should be rich and natural, without a trace of boxiness or coloration. Vocals should emanate from one precise location between the speakers, creating the feel of the singer standing just feet in front of you. The experience is like having tickets to a private show, and you’re sitting in the sweet spot.

Reaching this level of performance requires a greater excellence of parts and construction. As a small, family-run, internet-direct company, we can deliver this kind of quality to our customers for less than larger competing brands. We cut out the middlemen and eliminate the corporate infrastructure; allowing us to provide superior speakers for lower price than our competitors. A price that finally takes the sting out of the term ‘high-end’.

The speakers you’re about to order are a new industry milestone. They’re the finest example of the art and evolution of speaker design. Enjoy the sound audio purists shell out many thousands of dollars for.

The weak link in my system was the center, where I had a Polk CS10, of which the less said the better. The CG23 blends perfectly with my Emotiva T1 mains, small Klipsch surrounds and heights, and BIC America sub. It's got the clarity and range of the T1s, which is a great trick for a much smaller, two-way box again three-way towers.Entirely pleasing.

I upgraded my man cave in February with large tower speakers and a complete surround sound system that was the best I have ever had. After I did that none of my older speakers seemed worth listening to. (Typical story of an audiophile, I guess.) So I decided that I needed to upgrade my living room to a better 2.1 system but large towers were out. I did a lot of research and got really excited when I found RSL and the CG3 series. After several emails with Joe from RSL I decided on two CG23's for a 2.1 system. I can't say enough good things about Joe and his support even though I'm sure this was a small sale for him. Unpacking the two speakers I was struck with the build quality and how much smaller and heavier they were than I expected. After a 20 hour break-in period, I compared them to my larger, more expensive towers and was surprised at how well the little speakers held there own. (My wife preferred the RSL's on 3 of 4 songs I played her and I was about 50/50 after about 20 tracks) The first thing you will notice as they sound much larger than the size and as advertised they disappear. With them sitting on my towers, there were many times I could not be certain which speaker was playing. The vocal qualities are great and with good instrumental detail. They are more laidback than my large towers but not in a bad way. (Joe thinks a speedwoofer will solve that.) I moved them to my living room which is 26x14 and I was immediately impressed with how well they can fill the room with sound. They will take power and put out lots of clear, sound. They absolutely blew away another pair of somewhat lower cost bookshelf speakers with larger drivers that I always liked. They also look much better and are smaller. I am using an older subwoofer right now to fill in the low end but I plan to add a speedwoofer in a couple of months. I would recommend the CG23's to anyone that wants a small nice looking speaker at a good price. Someday I hope to compare these to a set of CG5's (maybe I'll get rid of my towers altogether.)

Me: 56 y/o audiophile/speaker freak since owning the very first Bose 301's to hit the market at 14-yrs.(?) of age, with very discerning ears. Purchase: 2 "new" cg-23's initially for a 2.1 set up. Another one for center channel duty shortly thereafter. I WILL be purchasing another pair and their Speedwoofer 10S to complete a 5.1 system. Impression: Okay.... so there seems to be some kind of wonderful sound physics at work here! I won't bore you with a bunch of technical gobbildy goop. What I will say is my Martinlogan lx-16's and Motion 30 are currently boxed up and heading to storage or eBay(I thought these words would never leave my mouth)!! This is quite a testament to the sound of these speakers! In comparison to the Martinlogan's they provide a fuller, richer sound to my ears, especially in the mid-range and low-end. When I hook up the M.L's there just seems to be something missing. It's kind of hard to explain. You almost have to hear the cg23's for yourself. Suggestion: Buy them, give them sufficient time to break-in(see manufacturer suggested break-in period), and be amazed! Rogersound labs has a great return policy if your not 100% impressed. Although I HIGHLY doubt this will be the case, unless your current setup costs about 3-4 times the price of these, but it's nice to have the option. The ONLY thing I would have liked to receive with them is a Rogersound labs badge on the grilles. These speakers are truly a treat for the ears!! NOTE: THEY SOUND BETTER WITHOUT THE GRILLES. YOU GET A BIT MORE DETAIL. CHECK OUT THE SOUND DEMO VIDEO ON YOUTUBE!!!
