Has anybody heard TDL-RTL3 reflex transmission line speakers

[Ranjithv]

hai friends i found a used Transducer Developments Limited's RTL3 model floor stander with a used hifi dealer near to my place. As i am not aware of the transmission line speaker principles and their sound quality, Can anybody help with suggestions and reviews of the product...

Has to be very very good ...... if drivers look ok ..... just pick it up! Try for a brief audition though, before paying ...

Top three products- RTL3

thanks @ avidyarthy.... one doubt will it require a monster amp to drive..

 

[avidyarthy]

Not at all ........ a moderate sized amp is more than sufficient ....
