In-wall Paradigms VS In-wall RBH???

[Mitch613]

The room is approximately 19' by 14' by 8'. First thoughts were to go with the Paradigm in walls, but with more research and more people bringing up new ideas, what are the thoughts on the Paradigm In-Wall AMS series versus the RBH In-Wall MC series?

It's hard to find prices online as they are both strictly sold through dealers, but it looks like the MCs are around $300/speaker and I know the AMSs are at $300/speaker.

Thoughts between the two???

Much appreciated!

I have RBH signatures and MC surrounds. I love them. That being said, I haven't listened to Paradigms. I know a lot of people like them. A lot.

I thought I had an RBH price list somewhere. If I find it, I'll send it to you if you pm me your email address. I know I have a Triad price list, hopefully I can find the RBH list.

How many MC surrounds are you using? 2 or 4 to make it a 7.1?

Are they in ceilings or in walls?

And are they fantastic! or just really good?

Thanks!

I haven't heard either of the in-wall speakers, but my understanding is that Paradigm generally has a more forward sound character than RBH.
Whether this is good or bad is up to your ear.
Both companies make great speakers.

I have the RBH, signature. I heard the MC at the factory. They sound great. But, like others have said, the best way to judge what will work best for you is to listen to both of them. See if you have any dealers that sell both so you could compare and choose what your ears like.
