About this deal

With two speakers rather than one, you get a much more immersive, three-dimensional sound. KEF’s Uni-Q speaker technology combines with their Music Integrity Engine for superb sonic precision, pinpoint accuracy and the least distortion possible. For music files up to 24-bit/48kHz, you don’t even have to physically link the speakers, making them wireless in every respect (a linking cable is supplied for listening to Hi-Res music files). Others may need soldering. So only choose this type if you are prepared to break out a soldering iron. On the acoustical side of things my main concern with a small speaker is that when a guitar note is played, so often do you only hear the top half of the note, the decay can be missed, the note sounds too sharp and the instruments cabinet resonance is non existent. Russell K’s Red 50 do not suffer from this issue, yes it can be done more effectively with a speaker of a larger scale but from a cabinet of this size and again I reflect on the price tag, the Red 50 holds it head up high without a smug grin, just a look of confidence in their abilities to outperform some of the serious competition in today’s extremely competitive market. After positioning the speakers into a position where I would usually seat a speaker of this size I played various pop music. Russell and I had previously talked about how suitable the genre is in initially testing speakers and drivers alike. We both agreed that the wide range of instruments, vocals and frequencies gives a great impression of how a speaker may behave with further listening. My standout impressions with these initial listening tests were that the little Red 50s had great bounce and enthusiasm with a terrifically stable soundstage. There is no effect if you reverse the positive and negative wires for a single speaker. Negative to positive and positive to negative from the amplifier to a single speaker.

The first option, bare wire, doesn’t require any connector at all. Connecting Speakers with Bare Wire The spade connector can either be angled or straight. It shouldn’t matter too much which one you buy. But, in some circumstances, one may be easier to fit than the other. The Red 50’s are the smallest of the Standmount speakers from the ever growing Russell K range measuring in at H- 310mm W-205mm D-200mm. Constructed from 16mm MDF all round apart from the front baffle which is 19mm MDF and rear port tuned to 55Hz, the completely undamped cabinet does have an internal acoustically tuned shelf with several ports or holes above the woofer. Electronica and dance music favours the soft dome tweeter and transparency in the upper limits was dynamically more mature and thrilling. Integration of the entire Red 50 design with the faster paced music was flawless and the Red 50 can certainly be enjoyed very much indeed with many genres and the overall compliment of drivers, crossovers and cabinets makes for a level of dynamics and realism that can be natural or within the realms of electronic music, the designs bass limitations and room size is just great!A speaker wire consists of two separate cables that connect to the positive and negative connectors on the amplifier and speaker. You don’t need to worry about how you connect the wires – even if they have plus and minus markings. Like spades and banana plugs, you need to strip some insulation from the wire and attach the pins to the bare wire. This is useful if connecting multiple speakers to the same terminal. You won’t often need to do this, but sometimes it can be helpful.

Banana plug pins are a standard 4mm in diameter, just right to fit into the end of a binding post. Using Spade Connectors I've been using a wireless logitech K400r keyboard and Sony Bluetooth Playstation3 remote for controlling my RPi-3 for some time now.

It always fills me with joy when I’m given so many options to work with and with this criteria in mind my options were not exactly rich but who’s complaining, I’m a cider drinker and love a good Chinese – now all we needed was a designated driver…in comes Dominic, as he doesn’t drink, it would be rude of us not to include him in our somewhat adventurous Monday. The first thing you want to do is look at the connections on your speakers and amplifier. This will determine how you can connect the speaker wire. Hard to disagree when the Red 50 romped to victory in our Group Test of up-market standmounts (HFC 422). Although the company’s smallest and simplest design, it encapsulated the Kauffman method which, for traditionalists, seems deeply counter intuitive. Instead of regarding a speaker cabinet chiefly as a necessary inconvenience to house the drive units – beset by unwanted contributions that have to be corrected or eliminated, usually by trying to make it as inert as possible – Kauffman contended that the box could complete the sonic profile of the system, synergistically singing along with the drivers, starting and stopping precisely when they do. In this case, you wire one speaker from positive to positive and negative to negative. But the other is wired incorrectly from negative to positive and positive to negative. I ran the tweeter through its paces with a wide variety of music. At the time of review I also had the Martin Logan Motion 15’s in with their undoubtedly exceptional Motion Ribbon, which for me is the standout driver of the design. The Russell K tweeter excelled with the very peaks and air with Nils Lofgren’s guitar on the Acoustic Live version of Keith Don’t Go and the pace was ahead of the Motion Ribbon. However the ribbon tweeter had a slightly more fleshed out tonality allowing for more body in the lower treble regions, both still exciting and engrossingly musical.
