The Red 120 is a compact floor standing speaker with a big sound. It looks like an elongated version of the Red 50, and uses two of the same bass drivers in an undamped multi chambered cabinet (as found in all Russell K speakers). I was impressed at how similar it sounded to the somewhat bulkier Red 100, the same strengths are there (I wont repeat them here, it has a lot of them!), on top there’s a touch more richness to the sound and more extended lower frequencies.
So what we have here is a very neat and unobtrusive floorstanding speaker that doesn’t trade sound quality for it’s compact dimensions and doesn’t dominate smaller rooms (sonically or aesthetically). What’s more they’re very easy to place in a room and easy to drive - both characteristics that all The Russell K speakers share. They’re not limited to smaller rooms either, being remarkably room filling in larger spaces too.
So highly recommended - regardless of whether you require a discreet floor standing speaker or simply want one of the very best sounding speakers in its price bracket.
