I've used them in the past and thought they sounded great.  I didn't know they were still available!

Apparently, they did some A/B tests this morning between them and the Mackie's and the RCF's blew them away...and the prices are really good.   Apparently Mackie acquired RCF several years ago because of their high quality transducers, and then Mackie went off to change their specs and design, but RCF continued on with their own line (now separate from Mackie).  I guess Mackie farmed their manufacturing off to China, and RCF remained as they are now in Italy. I don't know the complexities of the split. Here is an interesting discussion on the split on the Mackie forum: http://forums.mackie.com/scripts/forum/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=7;t=002178 (the comments vary, but a few folks talk highly of the RCF line).
