I only have the top parts the 831R's and those are still huge. Another 2 years and I'll have the complete setup
Although I'm super tempted since I live right by Austin to do 2 Rhythmik FV25HP up front run the 2 RBH 1212R nearfield in the back use minidsp and rew to cut the RBH off below 20hz so they add monster output 20hz on up and let the 2 FV25HP take everything below that keep everything else the same! Ohhhhh ehhhhh that sounds awesome too!I only have the top parts the 831R's and those are still huge. Another 2 years and I'll have the complete setup
Right now I have 3 SV 831r's 4 SV 661W and 2 SV 1212R subs. By the end of either next year I want it to be 4 SV 1212R subs 3 SV 831 R 4 SV 661WR for surrounds and then I'll ceiling mount the SV 661W's on the ceiling for my atmos!!!! Ohhhh yeeaaah
I've been having that effect on people lately... lolol.Dammit Pogre!!!! You woke it up inside of me. It was sleeping!!!!! Know that audio hunger is building up again!!!
Hehe... yeah, I'm trying to tame my urge for new mains until I can actually demo the speakers. Going to play with my new Umik-1 for a while and then decide whether to buy or build.
If I'd known we had money coming I would have held off on selling my Ultras and pushed hard for the SVTR towers. Those have always been endgame speakers for me, but pie in the sky and never thought I'd realistically ever be able to get them.
I know you can't just rush into it but hey you should start preparing to make that push. There is a reason those speakers are going into Gene's final audioholics theater room at his new house. I love love love these speakers and have not once regretted my decision. Not once. We only live once bro and if we're going to invest in this it should be with the gear we will truly fall in love with. Just getting to know you and your listening habits and likes and dislikes I think your going to love these speakers
Didn't he replace his beloved Status Acoustics speakers with the SVTRs? That says a lot to me. I just now read that there's a separate compartment in your 831s you can fill with 100 lbs of sand or precleaned aquarium gravel for even more damping.
Did you already know that?
Oooooo yeaaaaaaaaaaa...........@flyboylr45 is laughing right now since he already has a pair of RBH SVTRS towers and matching SV-831RW Center and SV-661RW surrounds and SI-615 in-ceiling Atmos.
Yeah those drivers in the NR are just beasts Josh Ricci at data bass when he tested those subs could not get those drivers to ever come close to giving outDidn't he replace his beloved Status Acoustics speakers with the SVTRs?

I'm reading Theo's review of them right now.
RBH Sound SVTR Tower Reference Speaker Review
RBH's SVTR Tower combines the SV-831R reference grade monitor and SV-1212NR subwoofer to produce the ultimate tower speaker with mind-blowing performance. Could this be RBH's best tower yet? Read on.www.audioholics.com
He took a side by side pic of the 2 different drivers in both sub models, the 1212N and 1212NR. There's a huge difference. The motor structure for the NR dwarfs the one they use in the N.

I was thinking that too! Stacked on your sub that makes 1 tower over 300 lbs!
If you go, you gotta pick me up on the way.
I never did figure this out, but it's so low I can't hear it til my ear is right next to it so it hasn't been a big priority. I want to try a single cable, at least a 25' long to reach the sub instead of using multiples with connectors in between, and I did find a few. Given the distance involved should I be looking at a lower gauge? I found a couple of possibilities from cheap-cheap to decent prices. I'm not finding a ton of options for that length tho.
If the length of a RCA to RCA cable is not longer than 10-12 ft, there shouldn't much interference pickup. I like the 16 AWG Monoprice cables. They are somewhat stiffer than with some other brand, but the plugs hold well onto a jack.
If you have to put your ear next to it to hear it is it that big of a deal? If your just tinkering to tinker I totally get that tho I do that stuff all the time
