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.
