I too have bought Radian Research speakers (made by Becker Electronics).
I am very pleased with their sound.  I listen to a wide variety of
musical styles and they work well on all of them.  The particular
speakers I have (I have forgotten the number) have a 12" woofer,
5" midrange, a dome tweeter and a port with treble/midrange level
controls.  I think they can handle ~80 watts/channel.  I am most
impressed with their efficiency and the clarity of reproduction.
I have hooked up other speakers (from friends) and switched back and
forth between the different sets and mine always seem to sound
better/louder at the same amp volume setting.  I think I paid $380.
for the pair (it was an end-of-year sale amd I knew the salesman..
they listed at 800, and sold normally for 500).  They were well
worth the money.
