They offer one of the best values in the market today when considering build quality and bang for the buck, and they were compelling enough for fellow reviewer Vince Hanada to purchase my review samples. If you prefer a smooth-sounding speaker that leans on the warmer side of neutral with a healthy bottom end, then I recommend going with the RX8s. I wanted to get a few recommendations and then travel to demo.īoth the RX8 and GX300 are terrific speakers. I hate to ask two such broad questions, but there are not many places to demo these. I would probably use an integrated amp and could use a recommendation for Yamaha vs. I prefer to stay under $4000 a pair but would buy the matching center and maybe the sub. I plan to use for movies (two-thirds) and music (one-third). The RX8 I liked very much, and I have not heard the GX300 or any Focal. I did hear a pair of RX8s and liked them much better than the B&W CM9.įor sound and value for the dollar, how would you compare the RX8, GX300, Focal 836 V and Focal 836 W? I have kind of ruled out B&W. I am interested in a pair but there are none available to demo around me in Michigan. I read your review on the Monitor Audio Gold GX300. 2018-2019 EISA Awards Video Introduction.
