REDGUM RGS Lucens
REDGUM’s original Floorstanders were released as the RGS38i in 1998 completing our 2 Channel system range. They were the ones that ‘froze’ the downstairs area of the Melbourne Home Entertainment show when we played the Chinese Drum track. The same speaker that had the light fittings rattling at the Melbourne Audio Club hall for the first time in the Club’s history! All good, very clean fun! Now in this era of “makeovers” they have evolved internally into the RGS Lucens Floorstanding Loudspeakers … maintaining the same “body build” but with the added muscle of drivers shielded with dual magnets and consultant-designed crossovers. The family resemblance is more than skin deep … though what a glowing complexion the real Red Gum wood veneer adds to any room!

The family resemblance is more than skin deep … though what a glowing complexion the real Red Gum wood veneer adds to any room!
Having added the “muscle” to this 2.5-way 3 driver system, REDGUM looks on the quality of the “sinews” as being just as vital. Such details as …using exclusively high-voltage metalized polypropylene caps … very heavy 1.5mm wire for the bass coil … all connections silver soldered … internal hook-up throughout with 12 AWG OFC copper.
Taking its cue from the award-winning RGSB (now Manna) Bookshelf loudspeaker, the Lucens is internally twice the size of its younger sibling. You can decide whether it delivers twice the kick but structurally it has every reason to! With three separate internal cross-braces, each is cut as one piece for added rigidity. One of the braces totally isolates the lower driver in its own enclosure volume. Listening to Chinese drums made of tree trunks make the Lucens sound as though a subwoofer has been added to the system! Absolutely awesome!
* And the choice of name? Red Gum trees are but one species of the many Eucalyptus trees Australia has brought to the world. We chose the “Glistening Gum” (Eucalyptus lucens) as a visual hint of the qualities you will hear and see …. fully handcrafted in Australia!

REDGUM RGPH2 Phono Preamp
So you want to play your vinyl again, huh? Yes, a great way to start is with this little Phonostage that was tested in Bound For Sound magazine and rated as equal top unit (with another brand costing several times the price!!).
And, if you ever doubted that you could cope again with that pre-eminent downside of records (having been spoilt by CDs) …. as one customer puts it … “it has the ability to present record noise, clicks and pops and the like in a divided away space in the soundstage. Clicks and pops sound very clean and there is absolutely no trace of extra ringing or harmonic irregularities in the source material due to them. This is a wonderful result! The subjective outcome is the listener’s ability to get on with the music without having the inevitable surface noise getting in the way.”

REDGUM RGS Manna
First presented as the RGS28i, these are the little speakers that stunned them in England, even back in 1998. In fact, spontaneous ovations during Shows have been known to break out after their performance! Continuing as a 2-way, 2 driver system, they were re-designed internally as the RGSB Bookshelf Loudspeaker (christened Manna*) … using exclusively high-voltage metallized polypropylene caps … heavy 1mm wire for the bass coil … all connections silver soldered … and internal hook-up throughout with 12 AWG OFC copper. Handcrafted in Australia, they are not just a stunning looker with their gloss finish over real Red Gum wood veneer, but as well they amaze all who listen to them!
REDGUM Stellulata (Integrated)
Nominally now the ‘baby’ of the family within the Amplifolia range, this little STELLULATA amplifier has had plenty of time to mature!
Back when the core REDGUM RGi35 design was upgraded to become the Signature Series RGi35ENR, even that move included the power supply and output stages from the ‘Best Buy Award’-winning RGi60, giving it plenty to ‘knock the socks off’ many 100W/ch mass production brand amplifiers!! Since then the RGi35ENR has put on a little more muscle, so what is now renamed as the Stellulata has a typical output of 60W/ch!!!
