It was an error on RBH's part as I was originally told they were $400/pair. I was on the fence about giving them a 4.25 for value but since we only rate in 1/2 point scales now, I rounded down to 4 stars. The price adder would drop them to 3.75 but in that case I round up to 4 so it stays...

Thanks for checking that. I just phoned RBH and they verified they are $499/pair. Sorry for the confusion.

Good catch thanks. The MC-6C is in a different league and I highly recommend that route if you have the extra cash.

I don't censor our reviewers comments in their reviews so NO Audioholics isn't advocating it, but the particular reviewer is I suppose. :rolleyes:

You may wish to rethink that as 18AWG wire has nearly 4x the DC resistance of 12AWG. Thus running 20ft of 18AWG wire would yield the same resistance of nearly 80ft of 12AWG! insertion loss of 20ft of 12AWG with 8 ohm speaker = .07dB insertion loss of 20ft of 18AWG with 8 ohm speaker =...

I have had numerous white van encounters with the following most memorable moments: I was with a lady friend leaving a resturant when two guys in a white van approached her to buy some speakers. When she said she wasn't interested, they insisted the quality of the speakers and retail was...

Yes and those are extremely short distances and anything with power connections still usually have 14AWG or soldered on to pcb board with very thick traces. The small wires are usually connection digital circuits and pass extremely low current signals.

Yep, I've got that on DVD and love it though it bothers me they cut songs like Abacab, Duchess short and they didn't use a live version of Home by the Sea, but its still a great disc to have for any Genesis fan.

Genesis of course always tours with two drummers, Phil and Chester. They are a tough act to beat and when they are both on the drums, the songs take on new life.

You don't need shielding for speaker cables in 99% of installs. Don't forget a speaker is a low impedance device so you won't get much pickup at all from outside sources. Find out the gauge on the mini COAX but I suspect it will be 18AWG or higher thus I'd recommend either cross connecting...

All wattage specs are NOT created equal. The power of your 2700 is much different than that of the Z11. The Z11 will handle low impedance loads much better and have more headroom to boot. Years ago I owned a $999 RX-V992 rated at 80wpc back before I started Audioholics. I later acquired...

The store should launch in a few weeks. We are adding a ton of new products we just got signed for. I think everyone will be quite pleased with our product selections. We aren't looking to be the cheapest gig in town, but you can be assured we will offer the following benefits: Authorized...

My experience with SACD 2CH has been quite positive thus far as most of my 2CH recordings have plenty of dynamic range. Most of my SACD multi channel recordings on the other hand sound aweful. I like the idea of the hall of shame. Anyone with an oscope want to take on this challenge? Any...

How are you measuring them? on/off axis, distance, etc? The phase plug on the tweet will cause a dip above 10kHz if measured on axis. Also your mic likely isn't calibrated. The M60s 3dB point is NOT 7Hz like your measurement is showing :)

Also realize in many cases for long songs, there are special cut versions for Radio play. So why not compress the heck out of those and call it a day? To play Devils advocate for a moment, even if the record industry did produce less compressed music, the majority of people, even in their...

The fact that one of our readers bought a Britney Spears album makes me feel ill :eek:

I've been trying to buy the domain name for Videoholics.com for years. Someone in the industry that doesn't exactly like us scooped it about 1 month before I was fixing to get it :mad:

I'd always choose box speakers over onwalls (given equal designs) if you can accomodate them. The WM tower is actually quite good but I am very fond of the MC6 bookshelfs if you combine them with a good musical sub or two.

Guys; check the article again. I made some updates to show the relative SPL differences and correction factors of each measurement type as well as added some more images and cleaned up some areas. This is a very useful article to reference once we post our subwoofer measurement standard.

The RBM WM24's are likely a better speaker overall, though they are considerably more expensive ($999/pair vs $640/pair for the EMP EW30s which will be available at our e-store soon). The RBH's are more efficient, making them an easier load for a receiver to drive at high SPL levels and also...
