AcuDefTechGuy Audioholic Jedi Aug 17, 2015 #3 Yeah, it's the same RBH MC series. Same price too. But now you can buy Direct.

Crackerballer Senior Audioholic Aug 17, 2015 #7 Love my Empteks. Interesting they are doing an exact model currently offered by RBH.
KEW Audioholic Overlord Aug 17, 2015 #8 The distribution of ID with the pricing of brick & mortar! What's wrong with this picture? In the past, EMP was always a source of excellent bargains while RBH was a good solid product with pricing in-line with the consumer audio industry.

I think they are trying to clear inventory of the MC line or they are slowly listing all of their products online for direct sale in a way that is not threatening to their dealers.

Like KEF, NHT, etc. I remember when NHT was all B&M. Then they moved to both ID & BM with the same prices. You can buy the KEF Muon via ID for $225K. https://www.kefdirect.com/index.php/speakers/flagship-hi-fi-speakers/muon.html Or the KEF Blade for only $32K. https://www.kefdirect.com/index.php/speakers/flagship-hi-fi-speakers/kef-blade-ultimate-floorstanding-loudspeaker.html Like other BM companies, RBH is now also moving to both BM & ID. Pretty soon Revel & B&W will probably do the same. Last edited: Aug 17, 2015
