Anyone have heard of Tangent RS-8 speakers


Has anyone heard of the topline speaker from Tangent 25 years ago? What's the speaker sensitivity?
Is it musical?
I wonder how this pair compared to the modern speakers.

TIA

I owned a pair . They ran $1600.00 the pair and they were the best dynamic I had ever heard. The RS-8 was the only true three way they made, beautiful rosewood cabinets. One big disadvantage: the woofers were made by Dalesford, a 10"bextrene unit prone to voice coil damage if driven at high levels and no replacements available (or equivalent).Since then I have built my own speakers,and all have turned out superior to them.
