I've listened to RS standmount offering up to £320 back in July last year (6 months ago).
I didn't like anything until I heard Zensor 1 which I also wasn't keen on in the end. We're talking here award winners I didn't like. Namely 3 models from Q-Acouatics and Wharfedale 220. I did like MA Bronze 2 but it sounded slightly brighter and perhaps less musical than Zensor 3. In a way too refined for untrained ear. It felt as if they wouldn't suit as many types of music. Couldn't see myself blasting metal on these.
It might have been the choice of an amp but I had my heart set on Onkyo A9010. Demoed different ones but Onkyo sounded the best for the money.
Must add, at that point I was probably reflecting an average customer of RS. I wanted an entry point into hifi (let's call it that for now).
To put it in the context. This was after many years of not having a hobby. Getting back to music after 15 years was great. I didn't know much about the subject so didn't really want to spend much. In fact remember setting myself a £300 budget (amp+speakers) with the provision I will walk away if there's nothing that like.
With that in mind, Zensors sounded to me like music should. Engaging, rhythmic, musical. They'd perform rather well with majority of styles. I didn't pay much attention to true hifi aspects, neutrality being one.
To an untrained ear and someone who just want music playback Zensor3 + Onkyo A9010 with reasonable source will be more than they ever need. The fact that they sell for more than MA Bronze is the indication of just how popular they are.
I've ended up spending a third over my budget but went home with a grin on my face.
