I am not that familiar with the Classics, though I have been very impressed with the other Red Rose speakers. The JM Lab Mezzos (or are you referrring to the Alto Be?) are terrific and the company is one that should be around for a long time (though, one can never can tell these days). I would opt for the Altos over the Mezzos if possible as they are quite an improvement IMO. I would suggest adding a few other contenders that are also very good: Genesis 501s (alot less expensive than the Altos and right up there sound-wise); Meadowlark Blue Herron II (I have not heard these but understand from a friend with better ears than me that they are fabulous) and lastly, the Linkwitz Orion (a DIY speaker designed by former Audio Artistry designer Sigfried Linkwitz, www.linkwitzlab.com). The Orion is the least expensive of the speakers mentioned and IMO arguably the best. Supporting electronics needn't be expensive with the Orions and you can have them made for you in any finish you'd like for under 6K. If you up the ante price-wise, I'd check out the Ascendo System Z and the Aerial 20Ts (I am in the process of trying these out now). Good luck.
JM Lab Mezzo or Red Rose classic??
hi all, this is my first post ever.
i am thinking of buying either one of these two, has any got any comment? my room is about 6meters wide and 3.5 meters deep. i am about 2.5 meter away from the speakers position. the JM LAB is more expensive but i like the look more and it make in France whereas the red rose are made in china!
