Description
The Russell K Red 150’s are, particularly in the latest ‘SE’ guise, genuinely remarkable.
They’re reasonably compact and fairly easy to site, although they won’t suit the smallest rooms, particularly if they need to go near walls.
The Red 150 s certainly like Naim systems but they are not restricted to them.
Overall, they are quite easy to drive and a compact integrated amp such as the Rega Elicit R, Naim XS3 or Supernait 3 with achieve great things.
At our Audio Show East in 2015 these were fronted by Naim NAC-N272 / XPS DR / NAP 250 DR. The results were terrific and several are being used in this combination. Here, we have played them with Accuphase Integrated amps, even Naim Statement and they simply lap up the extra levels of resolution control and subtlety that high end electronics can bring.
As with the rest of the range, the Red 150 is best seen a high end speaker at a very affordable price.
