RBH Sound CinemaSITE arrived today... 1100 pounds!

[Audioholics]

The processing may flip in and out depending on what's in house, but I'll have an Emotiva MPS-1 on hand to drive the speakers. That amp tested too well to not take notice for the price. The next "pre-pro" up to bat will be either the AVR-4806 or the Marantz 9600 (both are slated to come in any day now).

I will, of course use the amps in those receivers during their reviews and test against the Emotiva to see how much of a difference it makes in the sound. Since the speakers are pretty efficient and the subwoofers are powered by separate 400W amps, I'm guessing they would do very well without additional amplification - but we'll see.

I'll shoot pics when Shane and Daren from RBH come here in a little over a week to help me set it up.

Are these speakers based on the T-1 and T-2p that you use as your reference?

Somewhat. These are based on the equivalent in-wall speakers from RBH.

John;

The 6100s are very similar in performance and output to the T1 truncated line array. However since the driver topology is a bit different (the 6100 has a larger verticle driver plane) you need to sit about 2 feet further back than the T1's to get the proper driver summation and acoustical integration. RBH recommends about 8 feet or so, but in the demos where I heard CinemaSite I found 10-12ft to be more ideal.

Actually, in a room that small, I would think the soundstaging and imaging would be crap because of the boundaries. A system like the RBH needs space to sound good.

.....blingo, plrease....(Chinese)....Jaxvon, you've heard systems in large rooms in the frathouse or on campus....you bet, everything front-firing from one location in a large room, then you get as close to the fireplace/system, as you wish, haha....

.....in the Winter, there's nothing better than the first one up building a fire in the fireplace, is there?....well, maybe unless it's your being second to get up, haha....Clint, I'd love to hear that setup, where's my coffee?.....

WHAT?!?! I'm so confused by those last two posts mule

....Spiffyfast....Jaxvon said he thought that system Clint is trying would need a larger room....I pictured Jaxvon, a college student in Michigan, helping set up systems for activities in LARGE rooms....I love this site so I posted, Jaxvon replied his head exploded....I told him there were mops in the closet....I've learned it's a good thing to read the light blue parts too....I quit for awhile....gotta' go to the Mall.....

I am really looking forward to reviews of these two products. I can't wait to hear how they perform.

Can't wait to see how the 9600 preforms
