R50 musings
I'm giving my R50's to my daughter to use in her HT, so I hooked them up one last time to see how they sounded.
I bought these a couple of years ago, for about $200.00 shipped from Fry's, when I decided to upgrade my 6 year old cobbled together home theater.
I am still impressed at how good these speakers sound for what I paid for them.
With decent amplification 150WPc, these sounded closer in quality to my RTI8's than I remembered, certainly not on a par with the 8's, but very good.
Bang for the buck, what I paid for the R50s compared to what I paid for the RTI8's the 50's easily have the edge.
Looking back, buying these was a blessing and a curse.
A blessing because it reminded me how good audio can sound: Enjoyment.
A curse because it reminded how good audio can sound: Had to upgrade for even better sound and more enjoyment.(still upgrading:) )
