    OK there was some history with the author and Kaleidescape I was unaware of. We did a rewrite accordingly. Sorry for this but I want this to be a fair article for all involved.

    AV Companies that Died or Survived Obsolescence

    So I think some of Jerry's talking points are outdated a out Kaleidescape. A lot has changed since the system he has. I will update later tonight and put the changes here.

    AV Companies that Died or Survived Obsolescence

    Some AV products were game changing at their release date, but quickly faded into obscurity. I bet you can name a few without even hesitating. But what happened to the companies? Did they go bankrupt or survive and thrive? Here are a few of our top picks for AV companies that had products that...

    RBH Sound 21" Monster 4kwatt Sub First to Meet our Maximus Bassaholic Rating!

    Actually I measured the DA2602 on a 120V/20A dedicated line and got 1.1 kwatt x 2, 8 ohms and 2.2 kwatt at 4 ohms. It likely will deliver 4kwatt into 4 ohms on 220V.

    RBH Sound 21" Monster 4kwatt Sub First to Meet our Maximus Bassaholic Rating!

    CEA 2010 data is done anechoic and doesn't reflect how a sub couples in a real room. That's a real limitation of just going off these numbers and a discussion I've been having with Matt Poes, James Larson and even Dan Roemer from Perlisten. A sealed sub that has a large high excursion driver...

    RBH Sound 21" Monster 4kwatt Sub First to Meet our Maximus Bassaholic Rating!

    We've reviewed Funk subs in the past. They were good but not really class leading from what I recall from this review. Cabinetry was good however. https://www.audioholics.com/subwoofer-reviews/fw-12.x/fw-12.x-introduction very inefficient driver needs lots of power to play loud at least from...

    RBH Sound 21" Monster 4kwatt Sub First to Meet our Maximus Bassaholic Rating!

    LOL that's silly. 4 RSL's cannot match the output of this single 21" RBH. The RBH is sealed and will see a +9dB output advantage at infrasonic frequencies due to room gain over a similar ported sub. I already have 4 subs. The 21" is added for infrasonics.

    RBH Sound 21" Monster 4kwatt Sub First to Meet our Maximus Bassaholic Rating!

    it wasn't easy. I had to employ two All Pass Filters to not get it to cancel with the other ported subs in my system. I may investigate sealing ALL of the ported subs in my system to eliminate the APFs. I have so much headroom in bass that it may be worth the output sacrifice. It will certainly...
