Koetsu Rosewood Sig. v Koetsu Rosewood SigPlat

Can anyone comment on whether there is any real difference in a revealing system? I think there is a $1500 price difference.

The RSP perform very well at the frecuency extremes: LF/HF, where the RS is not a top contender. If this characteristics are important to you, then pay for it, you will be satisfied. Regards and enjoy the music. Raul.

The 90X it has a better tonal balance than the RSP. Which is better?, that depends of your music/sound reproduction priorities and the signature of your audio system. If your audio system is on the " warm " side then maybe it will be better the 90X and if your system is on the " bright " side the RSP will mates better. Now, if your audio system is a " full range " one then the 90X will mates better than the RSP. There is no a single answer for it. If you can share with us your priorities and your audio system then I'm sure we can give you a more specific advise. Regards and enjoy the music. Raul.
