The first pair of speakers I bought after slaving away at the ITT factory in Sidcup in 1978. Purchased at Billy Vee after doing several days of comparative demos vs Bose 301, RAM, Swallow, and the other Tangent brothers (TM1, RS2).
They survived every upgrade starting with Michel Focus 1/GH228/Sonus Blue/A60E all the way through 42/Hicap/135 and even when the 135 were replaced with an Audio Research D70mk2. The final iteration with LP12/Ittok/Asak, 42/Hicap/D70mk2 until this day was one of the most satisfying system I have heard.
I home demoed many speakers next to them including Kans, Gale 401, Maggie SMG, Saras, Celestion SL600 and in every case I preferred the RS4 by a wide margin.
Any other afficionados out there?
