I'm about to pick up a good-condition set of RL 60.2s.  I'm thinking of pairing them with my Beosystem 5000 (Beogram 5005/CD50).  I can't find much on these speakers in this forum though.  Anyone have any advice?  Are they known to have any significant problems/issues?  Is it worth spending a couple hundred bucks on these puppies given the decent quality of speaker you can get for that price nowadays?  (For the record, I'm currently running Polk Audio RT4i speakers with the little Beosystem.)

My other option was to pair them with my older Sony STR-6800SD receiver.  I suspect they might be slightly underpowered for that particular piece of equipment, but I haven't had a chance to hear them yet.....

Thanks!

Yeah, I checked out the specs and everything of course.  (I had a pair of RL 60s years ago, but they had some driver issues so I got rid of them pretty quickly.)

I was wondering more about their quality as speakers go (especially compared to the high-quality stuff you can get for a reasonable price nowadays), and any known issues.  These are in great shape with the floor stands. 

They would look fantastic with my Beosystem of course, which I am really looking forward to.  :)

They are really quite good - if one was being critical, the bass is a bit muddy and single note and the top end is less clear than the S type speakers, but they are easy to listen to and go loud! They were actually designed to go with Japanese systems originally.
