Rectilinears did not have great treble because they used lousy cone tweeters, but the rest of the spectrum was typically very good with great dynamics. And when you see who worked at Rectilinear, it's a whose who of well know audio designers- James Bongiorno (GAS)Marty Gersten (Ohm), Jon Dahlquist (Dahlquist) Richard Shihinian (Shahinian)were all at one time or another at Rectilinear. My brother in law has Rectilinear III's, which are quite large speakers.
Believe it or not, there was a review by Julian Hirsch comparing the III's very favorably to the Quad ESL57. I would not go nearly that far in praise of Rectilinear!
