So I actually landed a couple of RL 7000s today for about 60 euros. Just waiting for them to be delivered... Now I need to find a receiver to match 🙂
Vintage speaker choice
If you like the warm sound, I can't help thinking about Beovox Penta.
Quite different design but some of the most beautiful speakers ever designed in my opinion, and they sound warm, pleasant and not wearing on the ears.
RL140 or RL7000 are the best alternatives, though a bit bass heavy depending on placement.
Pentas will need attention to the midrange drivers (four in each tower), RL140s will need attention to the woofers (two in each cabinet).
All will need fresh capacitors to the crossover filters (readymade kits are available - PM or email me) - and that includes RL7000.
RL60.2 well... yes and no. They are good speakers in their own right, but I think you want to go a little further than average,
Beovox S45 and S45.2 (Types 6302 and 6312 only) are surprisingly good and balanced speakers for their size and age, - but not quite as powerful as
RL140s and Pentas.

I Use them with stands and don't think they're bass heavy. 38 liters with two 16,5 woofers is not a bass heavy contruction.
They're too big to be used only on props...
Do you use the redlines with loudness or without?
It's quite a big difference, isn't it...
It depends how loud the Beomaster is
