LOL that is sad but true.

I'm both happy and sad to report my RBH T system has been sold to a fellow Audioholic in Canada. He is making a nearly 2k mile drive each way to pick them up :eek: These are phenomenal speakers that I will surely miss but I know they are going in good hands to someone that will appreciate them...

Guys; Here is your chance to show your love for the 5 loudspeaker finalists in this poll at About.com. RBH Sound made the list so all you RBH fans, show some love! About.com Readers' Choice Awards 2012: The Best Loudspeaker Brand

None of these cables support the GLOB and IBS Technology I invented. What a shame especially after all the Industry Praise we received from it :(

It depends what your goals are. The HSU alternatives probably have more usable bass output below 30Hz but they likely don't have more output above 50Hz and IMO they don't look nearly as nice. The 1010i is a pretty musical sub and has a lot of kick to it. If you corner place it (IMO a must)...

When I sent the measurements to EMP, they noted the results were a bit off below 40Hz. I then took the drivers out to take internal pics for the review and saw one of them was labeled 4 ohms.

Not really. I'd run it as small regardless. The mains should be run large b/c they have such a nice gentle roll off to mate with the subs.

My review sample accidentally had a 4 ohm driver in it meant for the single 10" model so my measurements were off below 40Hz. EMP just sent me a new driver to retest but now my damn laptop died and my new laptop runs Windows 7 which doesn't work with my serial adapter for my test gear. ARGG...

I will say Harman is probably one of the few companies that don't suffer from "familiarity bias" in their test results. Yes I have read their test results and I still feel their sample size (alternative brands / models) are too small and limited to come to some of the conclusions they have come...

I agree about the designer needing skills (both electrical, mechanical and common sense), but I don't agree that anechoic chambers are a necessity. This is especially true with subwoofer design. Ground Plane is a superior method of measuring low frequencies to anechoic and much more practical...

Sean; Thanks for popping in this thread and participating. I leaned too well of the issue of positional bias when we conducted our 2010 Floorstanding speaker face off. When we compare speakers, we arrange them as follows: AB BA and going forward, we tend to use the 2 sweet spots in...

a sad way to end the life of one of the greatest female vocalists of our time.

No I more or less don't like the abuse of the term DBT. I went in and tweaked my language a bit for clarity. I encourage all that took issue with my article to please pain thru re-reading it and tell me if it reads better now. I never said I was OK or content with Bose. I respect/admire...

I been looking for something like this. I put in a request to iRule for review. thanks.

Article Addendum Folks; I just added this to the end of the article. I hope it clears up some misunderstandings people may have had by reading my article. Article Addendum added: 2/10/12 I thought it might help to recap the main points in this article for the forum folks that may...

In my theater room, I usually dim the lights. When I do critical evaluations, I usually close my eyes until I decide to write something on paper. I find I can concentrate better with low lighting and my eyes closed.

Believe me I am trying to make this a reality. I lose sleep at night thinking about this. I've spoken to Dr. Floyd Toole and many others in the industry on this very topic. I feel pretty good with how we are reviewing subwoofers and amplifiers/receivers right now and the industry agrees. I...

Thanks and quite frankly I've bottled up my opinions from editorials for so long, I felt like I finally wanted to vent my thoughts (correct or not) in an editorial piece and I was expecting a wide reaction like I've seen on this forum. I try not to stroke my ego by touting my credentials too...

It's ok you don't agree with my article and views as I state at the very beginning: That being said, I too come from a very strong scientific background. I minored in math in college where I studied calculus based statistics and actually derived the curves and equations that most...
