RM25si Signature Mk2
A "Best Sound" Winner You Can Actually Afford To Call Your Own -- The RM25si Is the First $3499 Speaker To Crack the Top Five!
Yep, here we go again. 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 $3499 speakers ever to place within the Top Five! Proof postive that you shouldn't just compare the RM25si to other $3-4000 speakers! Compare them instead to the most ambitious models you can find. Many of the worlds most demanding audiophiles did just that at Hifi 98, and the results speak for themselves. Dual Metal cone woofers flank a chamber back silk dome tweeter. The upper woofer actively reinforces the deepest bass, while the lower woofer continues playing up to the tweeter's 2 khz crossover.
- 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.
- Silk dome tweeter - These latest generation silk/fabric 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.
- Infinite Slope crossover - the patented Infinite Slope Crossover virtually eliminates the interactions between the drivers, so the sound that comes from the woofer is separate and distinct from that of the tweeter. It also optimizes the sound of each the drivers, permitting the use of such exotic materials as aluminum cones, while effectively silencing the ringing that such drivers can exhibit in conventional implementations.
- Sand fillable Silent Box enclosure
The RM25si 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 $3499 in Oak, Black, Cherry (shown) and Rosewood finish.
