I also heard the RM25s and the RM33s at the Stereophile NY
shows several times in the early-mid 2000s and always was
very impressed and thought they were better and more
listenable and balanced and natural than the other similar
midsize floorstanders each time. They are definitely a
speaker I could live with long term, as they have no quirks
and are nice and musical.
(OTOH, I did not like the Pulsars, despite all the hype, as
the vocals were sort of undefined and opaque, even though
the bass was strong and extended.)
Joseph always displays with Cardas cables in the chain, and
I am guessing that with higher end cables they would even be
a lot better, as I have moved on from Cardas (which I do
like) and found much more refined sound (like from Stealth
and Synergistic Research, especially the higher end ones).
