Price Paid:  $45000.00 from 5/6/01

Summary:
At first it was an elegant speaker. The presentation was wonderful, but it was very misleading. After placing the R1 in my 20x15 room things took a turn for the worst. Bass was absent and felt like it was comming from another room. The mids while clean, lacked dynamics and the highs took on an echoing characteristic in my room. Overall, it was a big disapointment.

Strengths:
Nice looks.

Weaknesses:
Heavly dependant upon the room. I''ve yet to find one it sound up to par in (other than show room that first attracted me to it).
