Rega RS5 Floorstanding Speaker
Rega's RS5 is the bigger sibling of the well-regarded RS3 loudspeaker. It is a floorstanding tower which utilizes the same cabinet technology designed for the RS3. It boasts a sealed midsection and a comb filter working together with a precisely tuned port. This gives an exceptional bass, midrange and high frequency output. The result is a larger, more defined sound when compared to the RS3.
"This is a speaker that, from the first notes, tells you it's got something special to offer," reports Wayne Garcia in The Absolute Sound magazine for October 6, 2009. "The Rega RS5 opened up a large window to the sound that, while focused and grounded, seemed at the same time to blossom beyond the boundaries of the cabinet."
Hand-Assembled Drive Units
All Rega bass and mid/bass units are hand assembled in house to Rega's exact specifications. The RS5 uses the company's renowned RR125 Bass/Mid drive unit, which has excellent damping of cone resonances, resulting in a smooth midrange response. The RR125 uses a 3.5" paper cone with 5.5" cast-alloy chassis.
The RS5 also benefits from a new eight-layer voice coil on the side firing 7" driver. This voice coil design eradicates any crossover components for this driver. The bass unit seamlessly integrates with the mid/bass unit and with exceptional timing. This is without compromising any of the midrange and treble performance which Rega is renowned for.
The RS5 also uses Rega's new HF20-ZRR high frequency unit which is uniquely designed by Rega. By removing unwanted rear reflection the design of the ZRR tweeter helps maintain a distortion free response. This is a .75" fabric dome tweeter driven from a .75" voice coil.
Sound and Set-up
The drive units in the RS5 have been designed with great care. The crossover needs no additional filter networks to work with the drive units. Unlike most manufacturers who boast about the complexity of their crossovers, Rega is proud of its simplicity. This simplicity means that bi-wiring will offer no advantage. However, bi-amping will improve the performance of both mid/bass and tweeter units.
Because the RS5 also has a front firing port, it can be placed against a wall if required. The RS5 is suitable for all room environments due to its design of a side firing system. This system can offer improved sound stage and dynamics. It also allows the RS range of speakers to cope well in difficult rooms.
Cabinet Design
Rega's styling complements the speaker's sound quality. However, the design of the RS5 is radical and quite a departure from accepted norms. Its sleek lines are subtle, its dimensions inoffensive and slim. It will stand modestly rather than make a bold statement in a modern environment.
Rega RS1 Bookshelf Speaker for Surround Channels
Rega's RS1 loudspeaker offers exceptional sound quality and value for money. Its accurate low frequency and very even extended high quality treble generate a well balanced and enjoyable performance. These attributes set the RS1 apart from the competition, producing an extremely versatile, dynamic and musical sound.
Hi-fi Choice magazine for April 2009 awarded the RS1 "Best Buy" honors and praised it as "a beautifully coherent and exceptionally informative speaker… the RS1's bottom end is very clean and agile, delivering an impressive amount of musical detail."
Hand-Assembled Driver Units
The RS1 uses a cast-alloy chassis 5.5" unit with a solid central phase plug and a 3.5" paper cone, driven from a .75" voice coil. This unit offers excellent damping of resonances, and a unique paper cone. The RR125 has a smooth response, which aids seamless bass driver integration and exceptional timing.
The driver is hand assembled, in house, to Rega's exact specifications. This gives the company enormous flexibility in design and ensures Rega speakers produce a unique sound compared to OEM drivers purchased 'off the shelf.'
The RS1 also uses Rega's new HF20-ZRR high frequency unit which is uniquely designed by Rega. By removing unwanted rear reflection the design of the ZRR tweeter helps maintain a distortion free response. This is a .75" fabric dome tweeter driven from a .75" voice coil.
Pride in Simplicity
The drive units in the RS5 have been designed with great care. The crossover needs no additional filter networks to work with the drive units. Unlike most manufacturers who boast about the complexity of their crossovers, Rega is proud of its simplicity.
The RS1 has an unusually even bass response for a small loudspeaker. It allows them to be mounted directly onto the wall, or alternatively to be placed on shelves or stands. This allows the user greater flexibility in positioning than is normal.
Superior Cabinet Design
With emphasis on sound quality and dynamics, the real wood veneer compliments the overall construction of this high quality cabinet. It has sleek and subtle appearance presenting a modern stylish and affordable design.
Rega RS Vox Center Channel Speaker
The superior acoustic design and advanced proprietary drive units make Rega's RS Vox the natural choice for a center channel loudspeaker to match the critically acclaimed RS series loudspeakers.
The RS Vox offers unusually even tonal balance throughout the full frequency range and gives unrivalled reproduction of the human voice, essential for accurate dialog reproduction. It also excels with music and effects, making it a versatile all-around performer in either a home theater or multi-channel hi-fi system.

MartinLogan Dynamo 700 Powered Subwoofer
Building on the success of the original Dynamo powered subwoofer, MartinLogan's designers went on to create the compact, powerful Dynamo 700.
Featuring a high-current 300-watt RMS, 600-watt peak amplifier and 10" cone driver, the Dynamo 700 delivers deep, tight, effortless bass for home theater or stereo music. Its standard down-firing configuration quickly converts into a front-firing setup for folks who prefer a “hidden” installation.
The finishing touch is Dynamo's built in wireless receiver wireless receiver (for use with the addition of the SWT-1 wireless transmitter, sold separately). This great features is just the ticket for bass aficionados who want a clean, minimalist look in the room with no cables in sight
Affordable Low-Bass Muscle
MartinLogan never lets up! Thanks to the high-end loudspeaker manufacturer's ceaseless research into driver, amplifier, cabinet, and control technologies, it has developed a highly affordable solution for enthusiasts of deep bass. The new family of Dynamo powered subwoofers delivers the low frequency muscle that today's movies and music requires, with an emphasis on highly accurate reproduction.
Front-Firing or Down-Firing Flexibility
Dynamo is user-configurable for either front- or down-firing operation. Just pick up the sub, flip it over 90 degrees on the included stand, and you've changed front front-firing to down-firing, or vice versa. Whether in a corner, behind furniture, or installed in a cabinet, your Dynamo will sound superb.
Inverse Mathematical Equalization
An IME (inverse mathematical equalization) filter is derived from the inverse of the unfiltered driver response. Precision IME filtering yields extremely accurate low-frequency response – far superior to that provided by the simple second-order, high-Q filters typical of competitively priced subwoofers.
Seamless System Integration
Dynamo's connections and controls are designed to enable easy, seamless integration with any stereo music or multi-channel home theater system. It's main left/right line-level inputs feed into a precision low-pass filter. For systems in which a surround processor supplies the crossover, Dynamo provides an LFE input that completely bypasses its internal filters.
This capability together with flexible crossover controls ensures that Dynamo can deliver excellent bass from any location in your room. No other subwoofer in its class offers Dynamo's combination of bass extension, power, and detail.
MiniETC™ (Energy Transfer Coupler) Spikes
The Dynamo is supplied with sturdy, 1/4-20 MiniETC™ spikes, which can be used in place of the standard feet to enhance stability on thick carpets or to create tighter coupling between speaker and floor.
Portless Enclosure
Although ports are a convenient and cost-effective way of increasing low-frequency output, they rely on resonant energy in a way that impairs bass quality. A good sealed system will exhibit less transient-blurring group delay while maintaining smooth, consistent response regardless of output level or voice-coil temperature. Listen carefully to the sound of a bass drum, and you'll hear the difference.
Kimber Kable KWIK-12 Speaker Cable
Dual-gauge configuration KWIK-12 from Kimber Kable boasts a large-gauge and small-gauge conductor for each channel, or four spiraled conductors in all. This unique 12-awg strand design, along with Kimber's special-recipe dielectric, adds up to one of the best sounding bulk cables for home theater and distributed sound you're ever likely to hear. The slippery PVC outer jacket pulls easily through walls. |
