Default Re: Radio sound quality - some measurements

The RP38A.

This set has a strong reputation for sound quality, and deservedly so. The Elac speaker does a fine job, and I've always enjoyed it.

Looking at the curves, the overall trend is similar to the RP37A, but with less bass extension (not surprising), but still a decent top end. There are dips in similar places, which makes me curious to re-test these units in isolation next time I have cause to remove them from the cabinets.

Basically, +/-4dB from 75Hz to 12kHz. Really very good indeed. Especially given that the Hunter was the "economy" set, so the Elac was presumably cheaper than the Celestion fitted to the more upmarket models...
