$1200.00 Summary:
From my previous experinces with Mission M73 the RC 50's represented a substantial improvement of my system. The main differences in sound was a much wider soundstage and improved depth. I bought the RC 50's with an Energy S10.3 sub, and in the beginning i credited the sub for the improvement in the bass area, but after disconnecting the sub i realized that the RC-50's do an exellent job with music on their own.
Allthough i still use an old Yamaha AV- reciever as amp (not the best stereo amp in the world...) i'm now able to listen to music at low and moderate volumes, and still get a nice punch in the bass and a very good mid-range reproduction.
In norway i was (unfortunately) only able to get these speakers in black ash, but i still think they look great, and the buid quality is top notch.
I have later suplemented the system with the exellent RC-LCR as center , and i now use the old M73's as surroundspeakers. All in all I am very satisfied with my RC speakers, and i really don't think these speakers get the attention they deserve on the net and in the Hi-FI/Home cinema press in general! Strengths:
Exellent price/value ratio.
Undemanding - works well even with unsophistcated amps.
Build quality. Weaknesses:
None, but be aware of substantial improvements during the break-in period. Do not judge these speakers before MINIMUM 30 hours use. After that, they will still improve a lot. Similar Products Used:
