Russell K Red 100 Precision Audio Loudspeaker System
The Red 100 was the first loudspeaker designed by Russel K. and has since then won the hears of many HiFi reviewers and customers.
Alan Sicrom of Hifi+ puts it like this: “I think the reason the Red 100 works so well is it combines the twin demands of both timbre and tempo exquisitely, highly recommended.”

The Red 100 never holds back or lacks detail even though the system is far from the most accurate on the market, which is due to the absence of damping inside and the use of good but not outstanding drivers. Even the crossover could be more refined, but the quality lies in the open sound, large soundstage and the thrilling presentation. The Red 100 is fast, very fast and delivers attack like a machine gun. Live performances give the impression that you’re listening to a decent PA system, voices are lifelike and full of dynamics.
