RBH Sound’s Unrivaled 21-SF/R is a 300+ lbs. monster that uses a 21” carbon fiber driver powered by a 4,000 watt amplifier. This bruiser is so powerful that it forced us to create a whole new category of performance for our Bassaholics room rating called Maximus. This 21” behemoth uses a carbon...

I've been wanting to do this but have changed out so much equipment in the last year that it's hard to update. here is a playlist of AH Smarthome related videos many of which have equipment I am using. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvfTZmvZzNmB8_6Bjr2t_JsFctyeASfEc Hopefully I will...

The RBH 21" has about a +6dB output advantage over the awesome Perlisten D215S, hence why we created a new Maximus Bassaholic room size rating. Below 25Hz, the RBH dominates!

I plan on this when I get caught up. Still hoping the f328s will sound good in my guest room before writing them off. But they are definitely an overhyped brand based on my multiple experiences.

5hz -3db in my room so far and likely bc my microphone isn't accurate below 10hz. This 21" is an absolute beast.

If you need a blind listening test to enjoy a poorly tuned speaker, something is really wrong. I replaced my Revels with active RBH towers and I can finally enjoy music in my upstairs system. The Revels are now in the guest room where even a pair of B&W 704s2s sounded good. If they don't sound...

I have a reference speaker in my house from a company that wrote the book on "established science" and guess what? It's the speaker we listen to the least in the entire house. It has almost no room gain for bass and despite it having three 8" woofers, it needs a sub to sound full range. I also...

Yes I'm well aware. I brought this up about Integra long before the ASR measurements of Pioneer/Onkyo. https://www.audioholics.com/av-receiver-reviews/integra-drx-4.2-drx-4.3-9.2-channel-av-receiver-review Onkyo has very aggressive protection circuits and this was from a linear AB design. I did...

some Class D amps are very tricky to measure properly using typical sinewave testing. It's a gray area which is why I never listen audio gear with measurements but with real world testing. If I saw the Pascal measurements before listening to the actual amp, I'd likely write it off as mediocre...

A test condition that will never happen in real life. Try measuring a Class D Pascal amp. It doesn't like continuous sine waves much but man do those amps sound stellar with tons of dynamic range and output.

The RSL Speedwoofer 12S builds on the venerable 10S MK2 but with a larger 12” driver and enclosure with 16Hz extension for only $800. We reviewed the 12S and put it through music and movie torture testing and CEA-2010 and found it to be a significant upgrade from the Speedwoofer 10S. It’s not...

or it's just another product you can't afford and hate when someone from the press is invited out for a demo and opportunity to write about. Gotta take the bad with the good readers of Audioholics :rolleyes:

I might get James Larson to review the 804 D4 Signature speakers. James???

Bowers & Wilkins invited Audioholics to the Masimo facility in Carlsbad, California to get a sneak peek of their new 801 D4 Signature speakers. The 801 D4 Signature is a three-way floor standing loudspeaker that builds on the specification of the 801 D4, but changes in the bass driver magnets...

In the final installment of our show coverage, we look at new speakers from Von Schweikert, Estelon, Linn, Magico, and more. We also discuss the pros and cons of the show’s new venue, and point out some things we’d like to see next year. Read on...

Thanks to our staff writer Jacob Green, he was able to attend T.H.E. Show 2023 and give us his impressions of the best loudspeakers and electronics he saw and listened too. T.H.E. Show 2023 in Costa Mesa, California seemed to be a success, both in terms of the quality of the demos, and the...
