We loved the Russell K Red 100, but in a way we love the Red 50 even more. It’s a small, easy to listen to, easy to drive, and easy to love two-way standmount loudspeaker, perfect for small houses with big ideas on the way music should sound. The Red 50 is Russell Kauffman’s take on the Linn Kan, as demanded by his speaker builder. The Red 50 shares the same tweeter, the same absence of internal damping, same specially made enclosed field ferrite core inductors, even the same PCB for the crossover, with the Red 100. This makes them close family members, but each with a sound that is unique and uniquely entertaining. These are loudspeakers that are designed by an engineer with a long heritage in audio, but designed to sound fun, too.
In black piano gloss, a pair of Red 50 cost £1,100, but one lucky reader will get a pair for free in our fantastic Russell K competition.
