I purchased a set of RM7XL's from a guy on here a month or two ago.The loudspeakers i received had a few flaws in the Veneer.Im guessing these were factory seconds,i dont know.
The Veneer on the Joseph's i received dont even match or line up,very disappointed especially considering these are supposed to me Very Well Made in the USA and retail for $2500 bucks!.....at least thats what the nomenclature plate describes on the back panel.
The sound quality is good,but my Energy Veritas 2.2 3 way bookshelf speakers sound every bit as good and seem to be a bit smoother sounding with a fuller bottom end...im talking wee little increments here,not drastic differences.You could easily live with either one of these great sounding loudspeakers.
My little Dynaudio Contour 1.1's have a cabinet and veneer finish that is World class.Maybe i just got a funky factory second from this guy here on Audiogon,i dont really know,i wish the guy would have told me that before i laid down my hard earned money to him.I have seen some of Joseph's other loudspeakers and they looked every bit as good as the Dyns(im speaking of veneer work).I actually modified the RM7XL's allready by installing T nuts in the baffle for woofer and tweeter.
At the price these sell for they should allready be there instead of the much cheaper route of using regular wood screws,attention to detail should be a wee bit higher on the Joseph's for the price your paying,IMO.
