Welcome to the forum Alex, the RT-S913 is about as rare as they get, congrats. How would you compare its sound to others?

Cheers.

I love the looks of that box. Nice.
lav.loo - 2012-06-21 02:43
one of the nicest looking boxes iv'e ever seen, great score congrats
ghettoman - 2012-06-21 05:04
i do like these,i agree they look ok,but hell knows what all the fuss is about,there is alot more boxes out there that look and sound nicer than this..
i would buy one if i saw one cheap at a boot fair,same goes for a M90,M70,but i would'nt go mental over one on a auction,thats just me..
sorry,i know i have probebly upset almost every box collector in the world,but i'm only saying what i feel..
isolator42 - 2012-06-21 05:11
Ooh, lovely. Good for you.
First time I clapped eyes on this one it went on the wish list for me, because the speakers remind me of my home stereo spekaers; Wharfedale Vanguards:
When I found out how rare those Toshibas are & how pricey the are when one does turn up, I kinda gave up on that dream...
ghettoman - 2012-06-21 05:19
i've had a couple of dream boxes,but the Bombeat 40,M70,M90 has never been one of them,the only dream boxes i want is/was Sharp GF878,GF757,Sharp RS5/GX400,Maybe a A Tosh S90..
ghettoman - 2012-06-21 05:21
Edit..scrubbed it,sorry to iso and lav paper ..
them Vanguards are nice man,they did another model that were nice,venetta with the double bass,i had 2 pairs of E30 with the twin bass,wish i still had them..my fave old skool speakers are Leak 3030 or Jvc Spx660..i just love speakers..
lav.loo - 2012-06-21 05:49
i think Isolator was referring to Alex there BM when he put ooh lovely good for you.
i think it was he's congrats to him.
isolator42 - 2012-06-21 06:09
Lav Loo, you are correct.
Beanie Man your post wasn't there when I started writing (I'm at work & get distracted alot by people who want me to actually do stuff... damn cheek )
My post wasn't a sarky comment aimed at you.
Nothing wrong with disliking a boomer that many others like. Personally, I don't go a bundle on the Conion C100F & I think the Kaboom looks cool...

i had the covers but they looked shabby,i cant leave a box dismantled for fear of lego and barbie accessories finding there way into it.

You'll be talking about the Wharfedale Ventanas, the Vanguards little brother:
I had a sales sheet for the Vanguard & Ventana - they were launched together in the late 80s. Both are very sensitive (99dB/m) & so play *very* loud. The Ventana's upper woofer does midrange duties & they have a rear firing bass port.
When choosing, I listened to the Ventanas first. They sounded good - very detailed but too 'forward' in the midrange for me. My brother had some Wharfedale E45s which have the same drive-units & sounded very similar.
Then I tried the Vanguards & the difference was immediate. The detail was still there but they had immense 'authority'. That 10" woofer in the 70 litre front-ported cabinet gave seriously low bass. I couldn't get my credit card out quick enough.
To this day, I have no need at all for a subwoofer in my home system...
