“An unqualified bargain”
A "Best Sound" Winner You Can Actually Afford To Call Your Own -- The RM25XL Is the First $4399 Speaker To Be Voted into the Top Five!
When the votes were counted at HiFi 98, the RM25si not only placed on the "Best Sound At Show" list, but also became the first $4399 speakers ever to place within the Top Five! Proof positive that you shouldn't just compare the RM25XL to other $4-5000 speakers! Compare them instead to the most ambitious models you can find. Many of the world’s most demanding audiophiles did just that at HiFi 98, and the results speak for themselves. Dual Metal cone woofers flank a chamber back sonatex dome tweeter. The upper woofer actively reinforces the deepest bass, while the lower woofer continues playing up through the midrange.
“The first thing that struck me upon listening to the Joseph Audio RM25XL Special Edition loudspeaker was its overwhelming neutrality and sense of balance.” - John Acton , Positive Feedback

•Metal cone woofers - Aluminum cones are extremely rigid, resulting in very clear dynamic sound free from the common midrange resonances that mar the performance of conventional plastic or paper cones. This woofer is equipped with an extended pole piece that acts as a "phase plug" extending the usable dispersion of the woofer at the top end of its range, and displacing any resonances that could form inside the cavity of a conventional dustcap.
“The RM25XL's bass performance sublimely juxtaposed extension and control. There was absolutely no overhang, bloat or unnatural emphasis in the upper or mid-bass regions, but when called upon to do so, the Joseph Audio speaker could shock with its ability to plumb the deeps.” - John Acton, Positive Feedback
-
•Sonatex dome tweeter - These latest generation dual section dome tweeters offer sweet smooth extended highs, without any of the "oil-can" resonances found in metal domes. The result is a natural sounding treble range that reveals all the detail and beauty of the music.
“The new tweeter in the Joseph Audio RM25XL was responsible for some of the airiest and most transparent highs I've heard from any speaker in my listening room. “ - John Acton, Positive Feedback
-
•Asymmetrical Infinite Slope crossover - the patented Infinite Slope Crossover carefully controls the interactions between the drivers, reducing the acoustical wave interference and greatly broadening the listening window.
“There was an unquantifiable and almost ineffable level of musical involvement and immediacy that transcended the speaker's already outstanding technical performance. This gestalt musicality consistently drew me into recording after recording, immersing me utterly and completely in the performance. At its price, the RM25XL represents an outstanding loudspeaker and an unqualified bargain. Recommended without reservation. “ - John Acton, Positive Feedback
• Sand fillable Silent Box enclosure
The RM25XL is also very easy to live with, the sand fillable enclosure is only 8.5" wide and 11.5" deep, with a very small footprint, and its clean classic lines fit in with a wide range of decors without dominating the room. Available from $4399 in Black, Natural Cherry, and Maple finish.
