Realistic MACH THREE
A three-way loudspeaker system from Radio Shack's high-end Mach series.
Overview
The Realistic Mach Three is a loudspeaker system sold under Radio Shack's house brand. It belongs to the Mach series, along with the Mach One, Mach Two, and Mach Solo. It is confirmed as a three-way, three-driver design, and the cabinet measures approximately 36”H x 14”W x 13”D. Owners report that the speakers sound excellent, and often call them "fantastic" or "good." The usual maintenance problem is degraded foam surrounds. Many owners fix this by re-foaming with replacement kits.

Market
A used pair was listed for $95.00 on Facebook, which points to a current resale value in the low hundreds or less. Re-foaming is common, and owners replace the deteriorated surrounds with specific Radio Shack foam kits. One listing claimed an original retail price of $3000 for the pair. That figure is unverified and has no corroboration.
