I have had opportunities to own RF speakers. I have Elba II and Siena in my system. I used to have Certaldo that I traded in for what were going to be Voltera II. But talking with Skip back and forth, I decided to upgrade to Siena for my main stereo system. I have good size room (22*20*8 ft3) and am very glad that I upgraded to Siena. They fill the room very easily. The super tweeter does some crazy magic to the soundstage, especially listening to live music tracks. I tend to listen to jazz, female vocal, and some bollywood music. Both Siena and Elba II are gem to have. They do not color the music. They put out soundstage that is very natural and wide. The look great as well. The finishing work that RF does is equally as great as how these speakers perform. And when paired with "correct" match of cables, things just keep getting better and better. I have had them paired with both tube preamp as well as SS pre amp, and in both cases, they just knocked things out of park for me. I have been listening to them for about a year (well, for about 6 months for Elba II), and would gladly say that neither Siena nor Elba II are going anywhere for a long time to come. They do feel like "end game" speakers for me. I would never hesitate in recommending RF speakers. Elba II especially at that price point are a steal in my opinion considering how they sound. You will not go wrong with the RF speakers.
