Thanks for the positive review. I've been receiving some requests for a floorstanding version of the RC3R. This is possible and the width and depth are the same so the cabinet would be 38" x 9" x 12.5" (HWD).
I also just finished a larger version which will be in a floorstanding cabinet of the same height but 11" wide and 14" deep. This is a 8" 3-way with the Seas
Excel magnesium cone woofer, Morel dome midrange, and Fountek ribbon
tweeter. The sound is esentially an extension of the RC3R but with better lower midrange and upper bass detail / resolution. The larger woofer also provides
greater bass extension and dynamics. From the midrange on up the sound is
basically the same but I changed the voicing a little based on feedback received
from those that have listened to the RC3R.
How good is it? Well, I'm considering using this in my 5.1 MC SACD/DVD-A system.
Rick, i got this quote from a review of the rc3r which you built many years ago
with an 8 inch seas woofer. You have mentioned a major ingredient that im
looking from a monitor that i see from alot of review overlook which is the
upper bass lower midrange. I see that the current rc3r and tranzanite are only
available with a 7 in woofer. Which of these two versions and other monitors of
yours offer better resolution/detail in the upper bass lower midrange area? Is this area of the frequency response better achived from a sealed or ported box? Also, do you offer high gloss mirror finish on custom veneers?
Thanks
