Any fans of this old early 70's RS classic? I have 4 and they are great. I'd like to hear from other owners but I've done a search and I see nothing on the site. Back in the day audiophile friends of mine drove these with Phase Linear 700B's and they were (still are!) awesome. I love mine, and I have listened to many speakers over the years.
Any other owners out there?

RS Optimus 7s are great!
I have had a pair of these speakers since they first came out. I play them hard just about everyday and have since in the 70's I have a top of the line Onkyo receiver that puts out quite a bit of power. Even cranking it way up they have been flawless for all those years. I like listening to theater pipe organ music (Mighty Wurlitzer) and these speakers do the best job of making the recordings sound real. I think they might be just a little short in the high Hz end.

early 1970's? an oz of gold buys a lot more speaker today
mine the tweeters bottom/clatter aganist motor assembly at much over 80 dB SPL at listening position in a small room
likey have 1st order "crossover" - means tweeter bottoming driven by frequency content way below XO frequency
but they can be listened to
