    Polk Rt12 Vs klipsch Rp-250

    I'd jump on it. See which you like best and sell the other. I've never heard your Polk's but I suspect the Klipsch's may be a bit better.

    I'd suggest you have a look at speakers like the RBH SI-770 or PSB CHS80 that are designed to be placed in a cabinet.

    RBH MC-4C Bookshelf Speaker Review

    Too bad these are being phased out. I think they are a great little speaker. I did not think these were all that "bass shy", though mine are the originals not the Mark II reviewed here. Not to say there is a lot of bass but crossed at 160 Hz? I've run mine full range with an Acurus A250 (okay...

    Option to Buy RBH 1266 SE from Day Spa - Thoughts

    I would not worry about it. I've had my 1266-SE much longer, probably seen a lot more use than the spa and likely much, much higher volumes. That is a pretty good price if the cabinets and drivers all all in good condition. Rodger and all the folks at RBH are very good to work with, I'm sure...

    Ordered my EMPteks.

    RBH has always had great customer service. With the EMP Tek speakers you also get the 30 day in-home trial so definitely save all the boxes in case you wish to return them. I also would not worry about a break-in period, just play 'em.

    Could Use Some Help On A Receiver

    The Marantz 5008 is a nice AVR but it does not have all the features you are looking for. It does have 7.2 preouts which may come in handy if you decide to add any external amps. It also has Audyssey MultEQ XT which may help tame the Klipsch speakers if you have issues with them in your room...

    new speaker system - need advice

    I would not equate an experience with a dealer to RBH customer service. I would definitely call RBH and report the experience. Also ask if there is another dealer close by. I have met Rodger many times as well as most of the folks who work for him. They have all been very helpful and have...

    Enter to Win: Intimus 5B Bookshelf Speakers from Aperion Audio!

    1. Do you currently own or have a need for powered speakers? If yes, where? No 2. In your opinion can powered speakers sound as good as passive speakers paired with an amp or receiver? Yes, I believe they can be. 3. If you add wireless surround speakers to your home theater system...

    Elemental vs EMP vs Polk

    Don't worry about either EMP or SVSound. EMP is a part of RBH Sound and has been around for more than 30 years and is still run by it's founder. SVSound has been around since the late 90's and have really been making inroads these last few years. Both are solid companies that will stand behind...

    What to Demo? $2500 for New L-C-R Speakers!

    Aside from the MA's & Totem's you already checked out, try; RBH Sound 1044-SE, not as forward as the MA and what I would characterize as just a hair on the warm side of neutral. Probably pushing your budget though. Lots of good buzz going on about the Salk Song Tower, probably worth a...

    Axiom vs RBH

    Have you had a chance to listen to any of these speakers? What is your budget? And is it for 5 speakers or 7 speakers? Personally, I think it is well worth it to spend the extra money for the RBH speakers, but that's just me. Only you can decide if it's worth it to you.

    Axiom vs RBH

    Having heard most all of the RBH speakers, and your 90% HT - 10% Music, I'd recommend three MC-616C for the fronts and 2 MC-44C for the sides. Or even better go with five MC-616C.

    Comcast HD in San Francisco, CA

    Considering you have Comcast HD,... I'd say you're lucky you only have a complaint about 1 channel. When I had Comcast, almost every HD and SD channel had drop out and pixelation issues.
