That is correct. Bill Bruford and Allan White, though they only played together in the Union tour from what I can remember. Oddly, Bill used to smoke on the drums but over the last decade or so he really petered out IMO and relied too much on electric drums. On the other hand Allan White...

Haha I used to take the day off from work when new gear arrived for my system. I remember the feeling. Take your time to set up everything properly. You have made a wise upgrade decision. Enjoy!

Both myself and Clint had a reference system comprised of the 1266's, 661's and 61'se's though mine were all LSE versions :D I later traded up the 1266-LSE's to the T2p system. I shed a few tears when I let the 1266's go. They were the first full range speaker system that I would consider to...

The 1266-SE/R top half is virtually identical to the 661-SE/R except the former is crossed over higher (for good reason too) than I would recommend should one consider running 661-SE/R's with self powered subwoofers. Given the following choice when assembling a HT System: 1) 1266-SE/R and no...

The 1266 has a separate enclosure for the mids/tweets and is about the same volume as a 661-SE/R, though the 661-SE/R is a ported design and a bit more efficienct since it isn't padded down to match sensitivity of the 12" side firing woofer.

If you are setting up a home theater system, I would suggest going with 661-SE/R's with 2 subs over 1266-SE/R's. It is difficult to properly integrate a full range speaker such as a 1266 with additional subs. The reason most people don't think a good bookshelf speaker with subs can compete...

I am not sure about a 15% price increase but I did hear they are increasing their prices very soon. It has been two years since their last price sheet was released and rumor has it they are about to launch some additional product upgrades in different models.

I think some of Phils best drumming was from the Seconds Out era till the Abacab tours. He also did great in the We Can't Dance Tour as well.

Please don't tell me you consider Pat Mastelotto to be a competent drummer. At best he is the Kenny G of drummers and IMO a real insult to be paired with Bill Bruford.

What were they charging and did this include some sort of installation fee?

I have seen all things Genesis recorded on video :p Chester/Phil, Bill Bruford/Phill and even Phil play with Led Zepplin. Very cool.

Yea baby, the best drum duo in Rock IMO :D

I am not sure what to make of this since the story seems to change every month but here's hoping: http://musicnews.virgin.net/Virgin/Lifestyle/Music/virginMusicNewsDetail/0,13556,1080384_music,00.html

I should have this riser built in a month or so. I am working out all of the details now. The cool thing about this riser is it serves as a bass trap and also a very natural resonator which should add nice tactile response to the row. Don't build a standard riser without implementing these...

A riser for your second row is a great idea, especially if you build it to act like a bass trap. I am in the process of building such an animal and will be writing an article on it. Typically you want your second row to be between 6-9 inches higher than the first row of seats.

They DESIGN / Engineer their own drivers, then take the design and outsource it for manufacturing. This is what most companies do that also claim they make their own drivers. This is usually the best way to get manufacturing costs down.

With this system, who needs surround sound? ;) They will have a matching center without the bass module and eventual surround speakers to compliment them.

That system will blow your mind and likely set a new standard for your expectations of loudspeakers. However, given the amount of subs you have, you can probably get away with a T2 system run full range for the main channels and using your HSU/SVS subs for the LFE channel. It also saves...

They design their drivers in house and then have them produced over seas.

They ARE NOT THE SAME DRIVERS! RBH has designed their driver from the ground up. There is more to a driver than its basket. RBH has speced the cone material, shape, voice coil former, spider and surround. They do NOT outsource this driver and has been inhouse for their Status products for...
