No, that MRSP was a typo.

Which one? the one you originally posted or the one that Gene posted?

The towers were initially listed at $995 on RBH's site - saw it a week or 2 ago - so Gene probably got pricing info from there.

The $995/pair was a typo. The $1195/pair is correct.

The SFTR modular speaker system from RBH Sound was designed to provide an audio experience similar to that of the massive SVTRS flagship towers, but in a smaller package with a lower price.

Is Mr. Larson going to measure these?

Nope, but Mr. Larson does have other RBH reviews with measurements coming down the pipeline - stay tuned!

Would be interested in review of the 821-SF/R module on top of the speaker. It seems like there could be a directivity error when transitioning from 8" drivers to a tweeter.

Here is the review of the 831, which has 3 x 8" drivers, instead of 2 x 8" drivers like the 821.

RBH UNRIVALED 8300/AX vs RBH UNRIVALED 8300/PX , for movie HT only, no music, mostly action/scifi/fantasy/horror reference level to slightly higher, would the active speaker be a noticeable improvement over the passive with the ATI AT3005 amp, 300w/ch? Bass is already covered with 2 large JTR ported subs , room is 19x14x8. Speaker array is a 9.1.4, speaker brand discontinued.
I was considering the JTR Noesis 212RT for F/L and concerned that for movie soundtracks the RBHs may not add much improvement, active or passive?

I don’t think it matters whether it’s Atmos movies or 2Ch music.

I’ve owned both 100% active vs passive systems and I think both can sound equally great for both MCH and 2CH.

At the end of the day, I think it’s just personal preference whether you want 100% active or passive.
