I have heard these two speakers at different times in my room but the gear was slightly different. I thought the LS90s were pretty open but a little wooly sounding with big bass that let me know there was a port. The RTA 15TL seemed less open and more laidback with a smaller stage. Has anyone compared these two. Thoughts are welcome. Thanks,keith

    I have not compared but the SL3000 in the RTA15TL can be rather "in your face". Based on me RTA11TL mod (which is similar to the RTA15TL), they really open up with an XO upgrade and replace the SL3000 with the RDO-198.
