Radio Shack comes from the days of AM radio and baffle-less speakers, when sounding "Realistic" was a somewhat distant goal

I worked at RS in '99/00- at the time "Realistic" branded stuff was RCA produced. Sometimes we would have identical items from both companies, with the Realistic model on sale or special with free batteries or an extended warranty.
