[@buffal0bilious]

I love the Speedwoofer. It's the best sub I've heard under $500. I've heard both the Speedwoofer and the SB-1000 Pro, not back to back unfortunately, but I was more impressed with the RSL. Audioholics provides good sub measurements, and despite the manufacturer ratings, their measurements showed stronger sub-bass from the Speedwoofer than the SB1000, which does line up with what I heard (in a similar, if not the same, room). A.H.'s tests showed the Speedwoofer outputting 97db at 20hz and the SB-1000 Pro outputting 88db at 20hz "before heavy distortion sets in." RSL claims 22hz FR for the Speedwoofer, and SVS claims 20hz FR for the SB1000 Pro. RSL's willing to look worse on paper to be as scrupulously honest with their customers as possible. I think that says a lot.

[@corkydukeII5898]

Yeah I can't believe you didn't get 'em sooner either....you're gonna LOVE their Speedwoofer Sub!

[@johntonini7880]

I first discovered RSL back before they started back up with the new stuff. I found an old pair of cg6 speakers for $20.00. When I got them I was amazed by the build quality, I started looking for any and all models I could find. I have since built a collection of 21 different models. I have gotten to know Howard and his son Joe over the years and they are both great people with a love for music, it’s reproduction and their customers. RSL is a stand up company with awesome products at very reasonable prices. Don’t be reluctant to try them out, the return policy is solid and there is no BS if you decide they are not for you. My 2 cents!

[@NosEL34]

👍

[@everydayaudiophile]

I found some CG6As at a goodwill in Hollywood a few years back and had the same expereince, I have a 4.1 CG6A system in my bedroom with a CG25 as a center channel and a Speedwoofer 10S MKII as the sub. Its cool how well those speakers were made back in the day and being able to see that level of quality continued through the modern CG25/Speedwoofer.

[@isolar8001]

The real beauty of RSL products is the quality of the drivers used and the cabinet construction (besides the sound!). This new line forgoes the beautiful gloss cabinets of past models to lower the cost......simply put, you will never (and I mean never) get more for your money than you do from RSL.

[@dennisbohner6876]

RSL is a family concern and they are concerned about YOU. Best experience I've had on an internet purchase. And the product was great!

[@boristahmasian9604]

They are a great company. When I was ordering my 5.1 set ups from them, I spoke to the dad and the son. They were both extremely friendly and helpful.

[@TheMNbassHunter]

I just purchased my first real home theater system a couple of months ago. After much research, I ended up getting RSL speakers with an Onkyo TX-RZ50. I got two Speedwoofer MkII subs, went with five CG23M for my ear levels, and four CG3M for my height channels. I've been very pleased with this setup. Movies sound great! Music sounds great! I really like the immersive music experience I can get from this setup. Even listening to 2-ch music through the left and right CG23M's sounds pretty good. The whole setup including the receiver was just over $3k during the holiday sale. Very affordable for a nice home theater setup.

[@NosEL34]

Yeah that's a lot of quality gear for a little over 3k. I would say you definitely got your money's worth..good deal

[@gregjones2472]

Nice, sounds like setup would be awesome

[@mindhead1]

Great to see RSL getting some love. I have a 2.2 setup with 2 Speedwoofers and 2 CG25s. All driven by my Cambridge Audio CXA81. It’s a killer system. The RSL speakers are built like tanks and look great. I went to the RSL website looking for a subwoofer. Left ordering a Speedwoofer and the CG25. I figured I could return them if I didn’t like them. I kept them. About 6 months later I added another Speedwoofer and it was the best audio upgrade I ever made. 2.2 FTW.

[@russpatstone5525]

Thank you for being so down to earth. Thank you for telling it how it is. Glad you are going to review these subs. I am also just getting into these subs having bought two of the last "batch" they just sent out. Haven't set them up yet. Glad I came across your site a while back!

[@NeilBlanchard]

The speakers and the subwoofer are essentially versions of a transmission line cabinet. Which is a good thing! The slots look like ports, but there's another diagonal baffle inside the cabinet that sets up the TL. The subwoofer driver and the amp are very impressive.

[@Simon_Hawkshaw]

Many thanks for your perspectives Neil. Very helpful.

[@Pentenfi]

I am not sure if that is correct. I mean that with no disrespect, I actually wanted to figure out what their "compression guide technology" means. The canal is way to short to be a TL, especially for the subwoofer. They are all bass reflex designs, but there are constructions where separate chambers are connected via slots serving as bassreflex ports. This induces multi chamber bass reflex boxes. The most common being dual chamber bass reflex. I have seen that in the DIY community here and there. But I don't think that's quite what they are doing...

[@NeilBlanchard]

@@Pentenfi There's a lot of variations, and overlap in designs. I have designed several transmission line speakers, and the "modern" way these are done looks very much like the RSL speakers. The closed end being a bit away from the center of the driver "folds" the effective length is increased. The terminus opening is the full width of the TL, so it mass loads that air, and actually moves in and out; rather than just being a Helmholtz resonator.

[@myaudioquest]

@@NeilBlanchard Thanks for sharing your perspective on the subject! I would be curious on what types of loudspeakers you have owned or recommend? My newest pair that I currently own has blown me away from all others, especially for the price....Acoustic Energy 100MkII's. They also deserve good electronics to know what they are capable of and adding a sub-woofer is a must...I'm using 2 REL's. My two cents!

[@jakedavis2838]

Bought my first CD player at Rogers Sound Lab in Torrance, CA circa 1989 or so. I remember drooling over all their speakers and equipment there. Always wanted their speakers but could not afford them at the time. Glad their speaker business is going strong.

[@corkydukeII5898]

Yeah I used to LOVE that store in Torrance. I was 1st introduced to RSL speakers about 1981, when my buddy in High School showed me his/those RSL speakers he had in his bedroom, and I knew immediately they were quality stuff. Although I never purchased that Brand back then (was too young, only 15 at the time), I had always wanted to, but they were just too out-of-reach...price wise (However, I DO now own the RSL Speedwoofer...very pleased!)

[@RdandTrk1]

Randy, your old videos are awesome! In fact, I kind of miss the lower production of the older videos!

[@cheapaudioman]

ha. well many still think they are of the lowest production...

[@thunderpooch]

​@cheapaudioman the production level is indeed sub par. Keep it up 🙂

[@davdidit6]

The production value of your older videos might not have been high but the information in every video of yours that I have watched has been top notch. I for one prefer a review that tells me what I want to know more that is just fluff with a lot of eye candy. Thank you again for all your work. So far I have been really happy with everything I got that you recommended.

[@cheapaudioman]

Wow, thanks!

[@sdtx1112]

FINALLY. Very underrated company with a great story. I've had the MK II 10s sub and a pair of CG5's for a while. My experience with them is they are excellent. That sub is going to blow you away dude.

[@marcmccord5085]

I got the mk II when they first came out, to replace an aging 12” M&K sub. Very surprised that a 10” can do what it does. Pleasingly musical when paired with my Forte 1’s, and enough impact to make a nice difference with movies. If you take the time to set it up and place it properly (instead of just sticking it in a corner) you will be very impressed. An insane value at that price. When they get more in stock I will be adding a second one.

[@ytj22]

The sub really is one of the good value items in life.

[@scottmckenrick]

I love my RSL speakers. My media room has 3 CG25s up front, CG3 as side and rear surrounds, and C34E as my height. They sound fantastic and are a great value. Joe from RSL was a huge help in ordering and answering all my questions.

[@NosEL34]

Very nice 👍

[@paulmalan6932]

Paul from South Africa here. I've contacted RSL for an order for a Speedwoofer 10E directly from RSL. I have to say that it is a breath of fresh air corresponding with Bernie from RSL. Saving up for the shipping cost to Johannesburg, South Africa, then I'm placing my order asap.

[@colinohenson]

I have a couple of the original RSL Speedwoofers in my home theater setup and they have worked great. If I remember correctly, the wireless receivers are built into the subs and it’s a nice option. I ended up placing them close enough to the receiver to just wire them up but I like having the option to place them anywhere near a power outlet.

[@superduperstepdad]

Had mine since around Thanksgiving 2022. Added it to a simple 2.1 system with an Arcam SA20 and a pair of Paradigm Premier 200B bookshelf speakers. Just using the RCA pre-out from the Arcam into the RCA inputs of the Speeedwoofer. Adjusted the volume level to mix in just right with the bookshelves and I am very happy!

[@davidargent0628]

The Speedwoofer ...musical AND it kicks LFE...best bang for the buck. Two of them for most folks in a small to medium enclosed room... impressive.

[@Fdmartinez419]

I am very much anticipating the release of your review. Rsl is coming out with a 12” version very soon too

[@bespey]

I have the speedwoofer and elac towers - all the bass and clarity you could ever want. Simply sublime

[@NimrodTod]

I've had the Speedwoofer 10s MKII Sub for a while now, and it is an absolute beast, and I love it. I've recommended it several times as I figured others would love it too.

[@raulgarcia1718]

Good to see these are finally on your docket. The base layer of my HT setup is an RSL 5.1 with cg5’s up front and the Speedwoofer 10s mk1 sub. I use the 3g’s as my surrounds. As good as the speakers are, it was their customer service that won me over. Hope your test sessions go well and I look forward to hearing your thoughts on these.

[@jasonmichaels4791]

Randy love your content! if these are half as good as RSL used to be they'll sound great. Back in the late 1980's i bought my first hifi system at the RSL shop in Los Angeles. I was super skeptical when the staff keep steering me towards their own speakers vs the brand name products which they stocked too (JBL, JAMO, Infinity, Cerwin Vega, Etc.). When i listened to them i immediately purchased the RSL speakers. They sounded and looked better at less than half the price. Glad to see theyre back.

[@brandonhall4429]

The RSL in-ceiling speakers are widely regarded as the best value option in that segment

[@SoonerPride777]

I just put together a home theater (well, 80% music room with an occasional movie) using an RSL Speedwoofer mkII paired to Focal Chora fronts. Coming from a pretty decent Bic sub to the RSL I was blown away by what I’d been missing. I knew bass was important, and I knew there was more to it than just volume and extension, but good grief did the RSL make a believer out of me. And at $450 it may not be years before I can afford to add a second sub and really take it to another level.

[@Ratboy1]

I have a Speedwoofer 10S anchoring my 5.1 setup. It's a fantastic sounding speaker with solid low frequency extension. What a value! I love it. ❤️

[@charlemagno]

Hey I love your old videos with that table. They got me hooked on your channel.

[@cheapaudioman]

I loved it too. it will continue to make a appearance every now and again

[@t.michaelkeza7205]

Have a set of RSL CG 5.2 towers I’ve had for over 20 years and still going strong. Have had lots of other speakers over the years and the RSL’s are still my favs. Great company with excellent customer service.

[@FeelMeGuilty]

Love my MKII sub in my 2.1 setup...paired it with some Polk R200s and a Emo PT1 + BasX A2....really cannot complain with this setup and it is serving me well. I think next will be Mini DSP DDRC-24 to tighten everything up....Also, RSL support is fantastic and responsive...so good i'm considering a 2nd sub for the setup!

[@NosEL34]

Yeah that sounds like a nice "budget" setup. Some type of dsp for your sub will make a difference. I had a pair of the R200's with a regular style sub and it was good, but when I matched it with a sub with dsp capabilities it made a good difference. With my room the 40hz frequencies were about 15db louder than 30 & 50hz areas. Being able to control that and get everything a little flatter makes a better soundstage. I even used Dirac for a little while with the Polk's, the Polk's don't really need much help, pretty flat frequency response, but these DSP's can really help with all types of subs.

[@ufarkingicehole]

You are definitely doing the "budget system" right. Buying the mini dsp is smart!

[@markchun]

I've had 2 RSL tower v8 speakers for probably 10 years. Still running great! I use primarily for home theater, adding 2 new Definitive D11's soon for surround on 7.1 Atmos system.

[@JMang101]

I took a leap of faith and purchased the new rsl speedwoofer 10s mkii to pair with my Emotiva b1+. This sub is absolutely fantastic in my near field 2.1 setup. Highly recommended.

[@TheDarius1968]

[@mattmccarthy2323]

My RSL CG5’s and Speedwoofer 2.1 music setup is insanely good. If you get a chance, grab the CG5’s. Unreal for the price.

[@Blackmamba-ce3nb]

I’ve got a speedwoofer 10s, thing is an absolute beast and makes music sound incredible. I didn’t really understand what it meant for bass to be “fast” before hearing it. It hits real low and I never need to put the gain above 20% to match my speakers. It’s got a ton of power

[@PaulRLight]

RSL are FANTASTIC! Their customer service is great as well as the speakers. I've had a RSL Speedwoofer 10S, 2 pairs is C34E in ceiling for Dolby Atmos and CG25's for LCR.

[@arthurwatts1680]

The RSL is the Oz equivalent of your American Legion and prior to the war in Afghanistan, the clubs were a haunt for aging boomers, veterans and others. They courted a younger audience with poker machines and cheap drinks but it was still seen as a fairly daggy option. Rogersound Labs has obviously settled on the acronym for the US market - thanks for the vid.

[@JessicaBurke-vt5xb]

You are going to love those. I'm squarely in the cult- bought a few for my home theater front LCR, then replaced everything else I had within the next 6 months with a blend of cg25's, cg5's, cg23's and cg34's. Can't wait to see the review!

[@Simon_Hawkshaw]

[@rickbrookes9491]

I love Randy. “They make other things…that are in boxes.” 😂

[@ount252]

I upgraded from a Dayton Sub-1000 to the RSL Speedwoofer 10s last year. Much tighter and cleaner bass. Granted, I would expect that going from a $150 sub to a $400 sub. The thing with RSL subs is they release them in production batches, so when they open a batch for sale you have to get in quick to get yours. I only had to wait like 3 weeks before I could reserve one, but that was a year ago. I don't know what the batch release schedule is like now.

[@visualanimal5634]

I’m just dying to get my hands on the new SpeedWoofer 12”! I have also been very interested in getting some RSL LCR, to test out. RSL seems to be one one of the best value brands out there. Great video, like usual my friend!

[@richardmancini959]

My first sub-sat system was an M&K set with their 1B sats and 2B Volkswoofer, which was fabulous. Now I have three CG23's up front with four CG3's as surrounds, along with both generations of the Speedwoofer---all in recently-discontinued white because The Decorator declared that it must be so. And it all sounds fantastic! The bass is clean and tight---and LOW! And yes, their customer service is legendary. Can't wait to hear what you think!

[@randomtube8226]

The port looks like it's going to chuf at low frequencies. Play a 20hz test tone. If you hear any kind of turbulence. It's not good. Sometimes this can be not as noticeable with distance or with a higher set crossover. I had an older Polk powered sub that had a very similar box design. Any time on movies and music that hit a low note. You could hear that thing breathing away. No distortion though. It was very musical with the higher bass notes. But it sounded terrible with lack of low bass and didn't pressurize the room at all for movies. Oh believe me I did the sub crawl. That thing just didn't like it low. It was a single 12 with 300 watt RMS amp. I don't recall the model. Can't wait for your review of this RSL sub. It has high level speaker inputs! That's becoming a rarity these days.

[@gregmoore1661]

I have this sub, got it last year under $400 I think and have been really happy with it. I was working while listening and didn't catch any thoughts on how they sound. I assume a future video is forthcoming with an actual review. Look forward to that.

Initially I had an RX-V385 and they sounded pretty great with that, but upgraded to an RX-A4A and wow the difference was massive, they really sing with some power.

[@robertcaya8888]

Yes, I have been loving my speedwoofer. Made for a great upgrade from my old HSU. Happy to see you feature RSL. Between them and Ascend Acoustics, direct to consumer market is super affordable for great sound. The wireless transmitter is completely worth the small extra when buying the sub.

[@aworminmybook8234]

i have an unusual rsl 2.1 desktop system that they made briefly after they restarted the company about 15 years ago. it was a real bargain. it's great and i still use it in my bedroom today. not super revealing but very well balanced with a wide frequency range and zero listener fatigue. perfect for listening at low levels while taking a nap or doing some paperwork.

Looking forward to this review. Might be an ideal subwoofer to anchor the bass in a powered speaker 2.1 music setup where I'm feeding them from a DAC such as the Topping DX3 Pro+ headphone dac/amp where you can select output from Topping's back panel RCA's to the RSL's line-in and then line out to the two active satellites and still use the Toppings remote for volume levels. A High Pass Filter would be very desirable. Other subs that offers similar connectivity and a High Pass Filter are the Emotiva Airmotiv SE8 and the SE12. .

I have 2 of these subs. Easily the best subwoofer at its price point.

Quite nicely done. Sometime back I saw your review of car speakers used in a room environment put in a proper speaker box, that got me thinking... it is more or less the same architecture used to make in wall and in ceiling speakers, so requesting a review of some ceiling or in wall speakers.

That Leatherman Freestyle is the best box opener ever!!

[@cheapaudioman]

you'd have thought I would have actually used the box opener included in it... instead I used the knife. I'm often times quite dense

Can't wait for the review.

Love to see the Snells

Thank you for the video. I was wondering why you had not talked about RSL before. Glad you got to know their products and share it with the rest of us. I would be curious to know how you like the sound quality. We have had their 10S Mark I subwoofer for about four years in a 5.1 set up. I initially bought their CG23 speakers for my L/R/C and a pair of the ceiling speakers. About two or so years ago I upgraded my L/R/C to their latest CG25 speakers and totally happy with the set up. We listen to music a lot and most of the time I do not even turn the subwoofer on as the CG25 speakers have plenty of bas already. SVS was my first choice for "reasonably priced" speaker system. However, they cost quite a bit more than the RSL equivalents. I think I have the best of both worlds, excellent sounding speakers at a very reasonable cost. I particularly love the wireless function built into their subs. All you have to do is to buy the wireless sender dongle unit and attach it to your receiver's sub output. The receiver part is already built into the subwoofer. This allows total freedom for sub placement. I had an issue with the sub when I got it first. It died on me after a week or so of use. I called their customer service and they offered to exchange it for me. They also asked if I would be willing to swap the board in the back so we don't have to send speakers back and forth. I opted for the swap. They sent me a new board in a few days and the swapping took no more than 15 minutes. I have had no issues with the sub since then.

I've had the original 10s for a while now and love it. It replaced an nht classic 10 subwoofer that barely worked in the same room. If I had the space, I would buy a second one.

The driver looks familiar because its highly likely, not same size driver but same manufacturer, as Airmotiv's Lf driver, so different sizes same materials; perhaps you just didnt want to mention them during this video either. Thats why the Lf driver is recognizable though, a nice unit. Some quality products for sure. *thumbsup*

[@everydayaudiophile]

similar looking drivers but neither Emotiva or RSL do off the shelf parts. Both companies make their own driver, motor structure, frames, etc. The only similarity is the physical appearance of the cone material. I had a pair of B1s that I took apart to verify this against my CG3s

[@mikehinterschied]

Seems like we are in the golden age of cheap speakers! Randy, would you consider reviewing the Mission Lx-3 Mk II? They are just $299 on Amazon for a big bookshelf with a 6 1/2” midbass and a beefy looking 4th-order crossover.

[@scottmestan5387]

Cheapaudioman, enjoying your content. I am an audio novice and hoping you can give some advice. I am looking at a Fosi Audio amp BT30D based on your review. I have some Paradigm speakers that the specs say "compatible with 8 ohms". I want to know if the Fosi that says 4 ohms can work with the Paradigm speakers?

[@dalemansukh]

I have cg3 surrounds and the inceiling. Love how they throw sound out wide.

[@danashay]

Great video, very nicely done!

[@jonathanreich6360]

Don't know the speakers but I have the Speedwoofer 10s mkii and I can tell you that it's a daisy.

[@Sammy-wz9jy]

I have a pair of RSL 10s subs to go along with my Polk r700's. I really like them but feel they are a bit sloppy for music with the Polks. They matched my Linton 85th really well. Even with Dirac/REW and properly time aligned and crossed-over they feel pretty slow just for music. For movies, they sound VERY good. I recently plugged the ports (I dont think this will hurt them as I have the gain at less than 15%) which made a big difference. Yes I lost some low end but it really tightened them up. For the price, I think they are phenomenal, but I will be moving to something else when I am able. Please note, there is wireless lag I asked them about it and it was between 12-20 ms, Apologies, I cannot remember.

[@jonosono]

I'm a n00b to all of this, so please bear 🐻 with this question: Why is phase control important? Like why would I want the bass to sound like it's coming from my speakers versus the subwoofer? Wouldn't that scare me to think I'm over driving the speakers?

[@Happyland_Motel_Gamer_Cat]

I liked the polar opposite intros :D LOL

[@AllboroLCD]

That Snell box back there has me a bit excited, are we gonna get a review video?? Please do!

[@-loki-7727]

I suggested those to you last week!! Please try the cgm23 as fronts. You can also use them as a center channel. Looking forward to the review!!

[@stonefree1911]

Price competes with the ELAC 4.1's how do they compare?

[@PeterMMMMM]

That is the $90 question.

[@joseyneighbors5230]

We need a garage tour
