Joseph Audio RM7XL

I own a pair. They are among the best monitors available, IMO and I have owned many monitors. They work well in any room, with most any gear.
Jeff Joseph "gets it", he knows how to make a great speaker.

I would get the Salk HT1-TL before I got the RM7XL speakers. They are small floor standers that would take up the same amount of floor space. You wouldn’t have to buy a stand. They are superior in every way. That being said, you can’t go wrong in buying a Joseph Audio speaker!

Thanks guys!

The Salk may be good but it is $3200. I also don't like the black front plastic around the drivers. If I ordered a pair in full veneer not only would it cost even more I also would not be able to return them to Salk then because its a special order. Thanks for the advice though Rsimms.

I like the size and the look of the Joseph and will probably stick to bookshelf size for now.

Actually, the front area around the drivers is anodized aluminum, but that is the obsolete model. They now come standard with an upgraded RAAL tweeter. Full veneer is standard.

Yes at $3.2k they are a little bit more but you save the price of the stand and you get a Pulsar level speaker.

Regretfully the monitor HT1 version is bigger than the RM7XL which is why I didn’t suggest it.
