Joseph Audio RM22XL

I've heard them a few times. I don't have enough experience with them for a full review, but I did find the HF's to be a little bright.

I'v not heard the RM22XL, but I heard the Rm25xl at the Stereophile show in 2007 on the Moscode 402P hybrid integrated amplifier.
This was one of the best sounds at the show.
The Rm25xl had a really nice articulate sound and the bass was really good.
The Moscode used a passive volume control in the hybrid integrated amplifier.
I remember asking the guy at Joseph Audio about the 7 inch drivers he used in the Rm25xl speakers.
I really liked the way these drivers sounded.
He was telling me they were modified Seas drivers.
Another speaker i liked at the show was the Dali Grand speakers.

Great speakers. They image like crazy and completely disappear as a sound source as do all JA speakers. I heard the original versions and almost bought them. Ultimately went with something else because they had a bit more heft in lower mids and bass. I'd recommend saving up for the RM25s or maybe buy the 22s and add a sub or two later if lower-octave punch is a priority. Best of luck.

Therefore your conclusion is s Sub is necessary with these speakers?
The 22's are to big for my 12x20 room

How would you describe the character
Neutral or somewhat bright?
