£600 per pair vs $799/pair in the US from a UK manufacturer? roughly a 20% difference - it's not fair
yeh although they may have tuned it that way.Looks like the same drivers I have in the q100, it's maybe a tad on the thin side so could potentially warm things up in truth, the q100 is barely affected by being put near a wall. The r100 is rear ported and I read somewhere that it works well against a wall.
A rear port for a speaker that is designed to sit on desks?
Odd.
