This would be the most opportune time for sum1 from 'this' manufacturer (not a marketeer but a designer/engineer) drop-in to ASR and explain/defend/justify such a pos being put on the higher-end audio market.
I had to wait for a few months before this Reserve R350 center became available for purchase.
My ears were very disappointed (substantiated by
@amirm's test results) and my eyes will never acknowledge the existence of this brand (and its relatives) in the market place again.
"Once bitten, twice shy" goes even deeper regarding this 'brand' for me and for eternity.
Most expensive door-stop I ever bought...
