But still those top of the line THX Dominus certified speakers still $4k cheaper than RBH"s special over-priced paint job speakers. Just kind of irks me that they priced them that high. These speakers best earn all the darn awards out there and be "speaker of the year" and have the best specs for their price range. Haha! Click to expand... But you gotta realize RBH speakers aren't being made in a Chinese sweatshop anymore either. RBH has their own factory now or did they get a really big Warehouse can't remember. On top of that, just for sh$ts and giggles, when was the last time you checked with a automotive paint & body shop? More than half of any estimate is for labor, painting materials, one pint of paint alone can run over 200 bucks, that doesn't include the activator and the clear coat, it's very expensive very time consuming. Part's are usually lower than painting materials. Last edited: Mar 29, 2022 Reactions: Danzilla31

Them Perlisten's aren't for me. To me they have that Cyclops look. Well maybe not a Cyclops look, but for sure they got the googly eye looks. Lolo.. Now Bryston, oh hell yeah! I'll take two please. Now to be fair, they probably go good with my Yamaha RX-A4A. With that big Cyclops volume knob in the middle. Like Gene stated, he gets cross eyed staring at that big volume knob too long.
