Hello,
some people claim both speakers are pretty similar, but that's not the way it is!
The redline 140 features a passiv radiator and a high quality Seas tweeter.
The rl 7000 has a port and a cheap phillips tweeter and a different crossover.
The woofers of the redline 140 use rubber, the rl 7000 use foam.
Has anyone ever compared the speakers soundwise?
How big is the difference? I think the rl 140 has the better bass.
Any Ideas?
Thank you very much.
Regards Chris
I don't recall any facts about the tweeters but I have seen numerous examples of RL140 with foam rot in the woofers, or was it rubber rot!!

This is the Phillips tweeter in my rl 7000.

DMacri:My RL-140 had two foam surround woofers and no passive radiator. The tweeter looks similar to the one in the Beolab Pentas. A SEAS unit, I believe.
So did both pairs of my RL-140 speakers
