i have not listened to these, but my dad has a pair of RP-5s. Its a RB-5 with a powered ksw-12 on it. Its awesome for the space it takes up without the use of a boxed sub, but the downfall is that there is no versatility with the sub its attached. Can't fix it in a corner. He pushes them with a Sony -333ES reciever and they sound nice. The RP-3s cant be too far behind with 10" subs.
