How did you determine/know that the RBH's were your perfect-fit system?
Sorry if I missed a post on this - was off the forum for a while.
Kind of like knowing whom to marry after you've dated about 12 women over 6 years.
Multi-factorial for sure.
Obviously, they have to sound awesome. No point otherwise.
After listening to many speakers throughout the years, I got a great feeling about the RBH.
For one, I always wanted a full-range tower system that didn't require additional subwoofers, but could still bring down the house if needed (the first 30 seconds of the movie "Edge of Tomorrow" is a good example
).
But the ONLY way to achieve that is to have towers that can be ACTIVELY bi-amped via LFE. For example, even if I had 5 x Revel Salon2 or 5 x B&W 800D2 or 5 KEF Blade2 or 5 x Salk Soundscape12, none of these towers could be actively bi-amped via LFE and none could bring down the house in terms of bass output. I would still need dual subwoofers even if had 11 Salon2 in the room.
But I can't stand built-in amps, so the active bass had to be done via external amps, unlike towers with built-in amps.
I also wanted speakers that measure very accurately on-axis and off-axis and are made by a company that doesn't lie about the spec - you know like saying their speakers go down to 14Hz, but is more like 28Hz.
Speakers that I could be proud of owning.
There may be other "perfect-fit" systems out there, but they may also cost a lot more too. If I were a billionaire, I would have 5 Focal Grande Utopia towers actively bi-amped via LFE by 5 McIntosh MC452 amps and a McIntosh MX121 pre-pro with Audyssey Dynamic EQ.
IMO, 5 x SX-T2 tower or 5 x SX-8300 towers is the "perfect-fit" system. Or 4 identical towers + 1 horizontal center speaker if the vertical center is impractical.
