so what do you think?
Thanks for any input.

The classic Clements RT-7 is going to be re-introduced in updated form in Fall, 2003, according to Custom Audio of New York City. My own pair date from the late 1980's.
Stupendous pitch accurate, deep bass from the transmission line variant bass design coupled to musical, accurate mid and high frequency performance with the special ribbon tweeter. Transients are crystal clear. The demanding human voice and piano sound very natural, but drums, bass, guitar, brass and percussion are always stunning to jazz fans.
This can even be driven by well designed tube amps with modest forty watts per channel such as Cary SLA-70 Signature model, itself an oldie, but goodie. Contemporary Aronov 60 watts per channel tube amp is even more dynamic sounding.
The loudspeakers currently in the line are high value. Talk to Custom Audio of NYC or Audio Essence of Georgia, dealers with whom I have had some contact and who really know Clements as true audiophiles, not just sales men.
This speaker designer is quite talented.
Klimek99, Interesting how you used your Little D's as a platform to experiment. I saw a pair at Stereo Exchange in NYC sometime in the late 80's when I listened to my RT-7's. And again, in Toronto suburb, when a tourist. So there are at least two of your model known to have been in existence.
By the time I heard your model, the Little D's (I think this is a reverse allusion to Big D, or Dallas, Texas, a big deal place in the 1980's) I had become accustomed to giant transmission line variation bass in my Clements RT-7, and no longer able to scale down my expectations in the bass department. I recall the treble was fine, but I can seen that $200 is a lot more than $70 to get your tweeters working, in 2004.
Mattsquier, Thanks for the information. Fascinating that the equivalent of the previous large size, floor standing, RT-7 (which still positively surprises my audio visitors after all these years) is now re-incarnated as an in-wall speaker.
