is a rsl a rogers speaker?

Probably not - Rogers Sound Lab was a retail chain in California many years back. They made a proprietary line of speakers, many of which were very good. But the sound is a lot more old school JBL then traditional British

No. Rogersound Labs was a Southern California based speaker manufacturer that manufactured pretty good mid-fi speakers. They then got into equipment sales, expanded too fast, took on too much debt and went under. They were not related to Rogers.

No it isn't. Rogers Sound Labs was a small chain of stores in so. cal a few years back. I remember them selling a lot of refurbished items.

You could probably find just those units on eBay, Grant. Why not? See if you can get the satisfaction back!

I think a lot of us are searching for a sound we once had with much more modest systems. On the other hand, as they say, things aren't as good as they used to be...and they never were. :-)

Dan, I get more satisfaction from my wife than any loudspeaker.

You wouldn't be saying that if you had a pair of Zu's!

Macrojack appeared in my dreams last night. When I woke this morning, there was a large pod by the bed, a pair of Druids in the living room, and Warrenh was fixing me a breakfast of scrambled tympanics.

Jut kidding, fellas!

I just got a pair of vintage RSL 3300, and they are as good as Tvad says!!!
I'm running them with an Accuphase stack. They're bitchin!

Bought the 3600s, a good JBL4311 copy. Dome tweeter, level controls, ported with typical midbass bump.
Reasonably sensitive, easy on amps and would play pretty loud.

If I found some today, in good shape, they make fine speakers in the '2nd string system'....with a Vintage Sansui amp and a Dual TT........

I'm not getting any mid bass hump with the 3300's and the Accuphase combo. I like that I can turn down the mids too.

I've ordered a Dayton 30watt T-amp their $99 winsome mouse type amp, I'm excited to hear it with the RSL speakers.

They're not the end all be all, but there good, I think way better than the JBL 100's I had, more balanced and detailed.

They might like a good tube pre too.

Fun speakers.

All ported speakers have a double hump.

I once had an equalizer with cal'd mic and a warble tone generator. Had to turn down either the 60 or 125hz with my 3600s and it helped a LOT.

Room has bunches to do with what you hear, of course. If you got lucky and have a room and a listening postion which eats that frequency, so much the better. I was never quite so lucky.
