Until yesterday I believed the greatest first-time experiences in one's life are the first time you went sailing and the first time you had sex (not necessarily in that order). Yesterday I realized there's a third great first-time life-experience, the first time you hear a pair of RM/X's. I was a member of a group from the Houston Audio Society that had the privilege of visiting Julian's listening room at Sedona Sky Sound outside Austin, where we heard his RM/X pair bi amped with four Ampzillas. WOW! I'm curretly a Magnepan owner and my expectations for quality-of-sound versus price are high. Within that context the RM/X is an unbelievably good value. If I won the lottery and my wife said, "OK, you can have one more speaker, but that's it for the rest of your life", it would be the RM/X. Thanks Julian and Emily for your hospitality.
