Anyone heard of RSL monitor speakers?


I recently spotted a pair of these 4 ohm floor-standing speakers. They look a lot like Vandersteens, though the body is solid. (Same wraparound black cloth with wood top/bottom.) They appear to have a ribbon tweeter and 2 drivers. Is anyone familiar with this manufacturer? They are made in California, the model is #4200b. Any information is greatly appreciated.

Jonarts is right on; Roger Sound Labs was a studio monitor speaker manufacturer based in the San Fernando Valley that started as a manufacturer and later became a manufacturer/retailer, principally of its own speakers. They were apparently based heavily on the old JBL studio monitor series in appearance and sound design, and were a pretty good buy. I'm not sure what transpired, although I suspect that they got too far afield from their expertise as manufacturers, but they went bankrupt probably 7 or 8 years ago. I'm guessing that what you saw must be a pretty old speaker. With all the good, affordable brands available, you may want to look at PSB (e.g. their "Alpha") instead of buying something old. Good luck.
