Reminds me of that song by Shaggy, It Wasn‘t Me….

Haha that’s right.

Finally got the Bryston 4B3 to pair with the BP-19 to run the 8300s. AND using Blue Jeans cables…. For now

Here they are in my family room setup. Currently powered by Bryston and ATI.

Description…

The 3-way UNRIVALED 8300/PX flagship tower speaker features RBH’s award-winning aluminum cone technology and easily outperforms tower speakers costing much more. The 8300/PX lets its listeners experience their favorite movies and music in a way never thought possible, until now. Remarkable full-range performance is provided by the aluminum cone 8-inch woofers and reference 6½-inch mid-range drivers and AMT tweeter. Dual rear-firing ports help the 8300/PX achieve its full-range response down to 25 Hz, and dual 5-way binding posts allow for increased performance through bi-amplification with a subwoofer amplifier such as DA-2602DSP

The improved construction and upgraded handmade crossover provides several key benefits over reference. The rigidity of construction ensures only the drivers are doing the talking and reduces cabinet resonance. This means there is less smearing and a more defined imaging stage. Due to the extra weight, transient response is also improved.

The crossover is comprised of hand selected parts and doesn't stray from the tried and true RBH tone curve. The high quality parts results in an enhanced sound that improves upon the already excellent imaging, soundstage characteristics, and transient response of the Reference version. Greatness is refined. This speaker is worthy of consideration for any 2ch hi-fi enthusiast.

if you wanted a center, is there a matching option?

I actually was thinking about this and yes, RBH can make a matching custom center. We just haven’t decided whether we’ want to turn the family room area into a smaller theater. I want to as 99% of the time it’s just me in the upstairs room. We spend most of the time in the family room so it would make sense to me (And to me only).

I have’t put the area rug in yet as we are waiting for the new sofa. I was playing around the other day with REW and here is the RT60 and SLP graph. Both speakers at the same time, MLP, 1/6 smoothing. Tiled family room area that opens up to the kitchen. Large 3 panel glass sliding door on the left side of the room.

ChatGPT recommends large absorbers in the corners, which unfortunately In this room, are a no go. The area rug and thick pad will help a bit but not with the problem area…

Even on hard floor and no room treatments- Response is about +/-3dB from 500Hz-10kHz. Looks pretty good even without any rug or treatment. Damn good speaker.

Mmmmmm, yea, I TOTALLY agree. This system is playing music pretty much from sun up to sun down when I’m home.

But when I want a totally different experience, the SVTRS are a different animal.

Wow just the amps and the speakers must be over 30k or around that . Hard to put a price on endgame gear . With how little jobs I see paying here I’d be lucky to afford something 1-2k a peice max. So far I’ve only seen ghost jobs advertised at these retailers .. apply don’t hear back but I’ll keep trying. It seems only pricier models these days have duel midranges like these epic towers you got ? In cheap 2 ways like mine woofer has to do mid duty. Rbh axed its budget line right ? Just like jbl got rid of infinity.

I mean, budget is all relative but, RBH still has some “budget” friendly speakers…

Right now I can’t get anything anyways.
One day my Klipsch icon Center sounds good another day I considered switching to my Sony or going back to phantom.

center channel Riser?

No option of wall mount. I’ve gone without a center for about 2 years now. It’s collecting dust. Phantom sounds good not sure if I’m missing anything. But last time I brought it up I’m missing my center I got the comment from my dad it was too old of a tv to be worth the risk of bothering to try...

I don’t have quite enough space to fit a larger woofer center right now. Klipsch isn’t a good night listening speaker too dynamic and loud peaks.
