    Nah... these are the Minis... the one's I was thinking of testing out were the RSL II.

    These Minis are $1500 and should be of decent quality. My local audio buddy is getting these in a few weeks. I will report back what I hear.

    I thought it looks very nice, do let us know what your thoughts after listening to your bud's, even better if you could compare it with LSi15. Craftmanship looks superior, compared to the LSis.
    I am sorry, I have no opinion on the matter. I am sure you do. So, don't mind me, I just want to talk audio and pie.

    It should be a good speaker... but it's going to be real real difficult to do A/B comparison with other speakers as I am not able to lug a pair of 15s there. Doing it by memory is like a shot in the dark...

    I cant even lug my Summits to his place to do an A/B.

    Ahh... I guess we're going to have to trust my audio memory and my sense of audio.

    Yup... it's time to bring the A-Game going.

    Mark makes it clear that EVERY product he has is the end-all of whatever price segment it belongs to. Personally, I'm sick and tired of hearing that... and when I listen to the speaker itself and I remind myself of the hype he puts around said speaker, I just try to keep myself from puking.

    Ok... maybe it's not that harsh, but still.

    The Mini should be a solid speaker, but end-all at that price point? I doubt it.

    Hugs go to you Sean!

    Anyway, they always insinuate it if anything. We'll see. If the Minis are truly that good, then I'll eat my words. :p
