russell K red 120 floorstanding loudspeakers
The Red 120 builds upon its smaller sibling, offering extended bass.

The Russell K Red 120 is a slimline floorstabding loudspeaker ideal for small to medium size spaces, producing an expansive soundstage with an evenly balanced frequency response.
Russell K's approach is to keep things simple. The crossover consists of a coil for the mid/bass driver, and a single capacitor for the tweeter, rather than the complex, component laden crossovers that tend to zap sound quality.
The cabinets contain no internal damping, which can dull the sound with a loss of 'liveness'. The result is a speaker that produces a nicely balanced frequency response, sounds as good at low volumes as it does louder volumes, and produces a soundstage that doesn't sound feasible from such a small cabinet.
One thing the little audio company doesn't like in a small speaker is when it tries to dig too deep in the bass, which usually ends up with all sorts of odd bass notes as well as strained ones. The Red K produces the bass you'd expect it to for its size, but doesn't try to step outside of its comfort zone, resulting in a natural, effortless delivery.

The drive units of the Red 120 are a 25mm soft dome HF unit, and two 5" paper based mid/bass drivers. Each driver has only one component in its signal path.
The spikes inset into the base are set midway rather than at the corners, making it much easier to set correctly or add a 'lean back' angle if that's your preference.
As with most loudspeakers, the Red 120s are designed to sound their best without grilles, therefore, grilles are an optional extra.
All cabinet panels are constructed of 16mm MDF except for the front panel, which is 19mm.
Three 'bracing shelves' placed below the HF unit contains multiple apertures allowing bass through to the reflex port, which is purposely offset to the driver to ensure only bass reaches the port, not midrange energy.
At only 860mm high, the Red 120 aren't imposing, and the front firing port, which is tuned to 24Hz, allows closer placement to walls without the negative effects a typical port would introduce.
The Red 120 is available in Oak White Baffle, Black Oak Off-Black Baffle, and a Rich Oak Off-Black Baffle finishes.
