Description :
The Red Rose Music R3 loudspeaker, the 17-lb R3 is small and is just 17" tall and 7" wide. There's a vented 5" Dynaudio polypropylene woofer, a proprietary ribbon tweeter, and that's it. The drivers are mounted on a sub-baffle attached to the front of the nicely built and finished box; this allows the tweeter to radiate into free air front and back, though its rear output is restricted with a piece of foam. The speaker comes with a full-baffle grille.

This small speaker produced astonishing bass: deep, well-articulated, and properly tuneful once it is fired up. Red Rose claims that this tweeter, designed by veteran Swedish ribbon designer Bo Bengtsson, "has overcome limitations of the past with new patent-applied-for technology that makes Red Rose ribbons completely practical and reliable.
