Know before you buy
The CG23M speakers are designed for versatility. They perform exceptionally well in near-field setups like a desktop, but they also have the output capability to serve as the front stage in a dedicated home theater or a high-fidelity vinyl listening room.
The Speedwoofer handles the low-frequency reproduction, allowing the CG23M speakers to focus exclusively on the midrange and high frequencies. This division of labor results in a cleaner, more detailed soundstage and significantly less distortion at higher volumes.
The enclosures are constructed from CARB 2–compliant MDF. This material is chosen for its acoustic inertness, which helps minimize cabinet resonance and ensures the sound you hear is clear and free from unwanted coloration.
The CG23M speakers are covered by a 5-year warranty. The amplifier inside the Speedwoofer 10S MKII is covered by a 2-year warranty.
Yes, RSL offers a 30-day in-home trial. This allows you to evaluate how the system performs with your specific room acoustics and equipment before finalizing your decision.
