Ahh the good old days when all of the SoCal players had their own house brands, University Stereo, Pacific Stereo, Cal Stereo. The RSL speakers were probably the best of this lot of underachievers though.
It's interesting that, though all of these house brands are very colored, they were designed for very high sensitivity, so they would sound loudest when the salesperson switched them on from the comparitor board. Strangely enough, this makes many of them sound really good with small push-pull and SE tube amps. Go figure.
Another sidelight of the era is that Upscale Audio was the high-end branch of Rogersound Labs.
