Hi, first post from longtime lurker - but hope to be a periodic nuisance.
I'll be asking about opinions speakers elsewhere, but I've been looking recently. RBH has always piqued my interest, although it's been several years since I've heard them but always liked what I heard. Anyway - today I noticed they've just discontinued a huge swath of their line.
Does anyone know what gives? Some of those models weren't very old at all. I had been looking at the SV6500R I believe. Doesn't give me the warm and squishies about their stability. Or are they updating their site and missed a bunch of product?
I've been working with them for half a decade now. Let me assure you that you have nothing to worry about. While there are lots of moving pieces they have to work with (ie technology advancements, supply chain stuff, logistics, etc.), they are by and far the best company I've dealt with when it comes to support. You can seriously ask them questions about an ancient speaker of theirs and they'll be there for you. Heck, they might even be able to help you replace a driver for said old speaker.
Their product line does change with some frequency, but that's par for the course. If you saw the "laboratory" over there at their HQ, you'd see how they're always striving for perfection. BTW, they are super awesome to visitors and you can meet all the crew over there.
NOTHING like working with some of my other partners, cough cough... Sony... cough cough... where you're lucky to ever get any answers about anything.
Now, the above examples of great customer service are also true for MANY of our favorite smaller loudspeaker companies, but it's also why I've come to love RBH so much. Great outfit and are still my go-to for most my loudspeaker needs personally.
