CES 2009

Signature Speaker from RBH

John Atkinson  |  Jan 12, 2009

RBH Sound is best-known for its home-theater speakers, but CES saw the Utah-based company launch a "Signature" series of speakers that were demo'd in two-channel systems. I listened to a Telarc Aaron Copland recording on the three-way, sealed-box 8300-SE/R towers ($8449/pair), with a Boulder 1021 CD player and Boulder 860 power amplifier, and was impressed by the natural balance, extended low frequencies, and good dynamics.

RBH's makes all its own lower-frequency drive-units, which exclusively feature aluminum diaphragms, The 8300-SE/R uses upgraded versions of the the RBH 8" and 6.5" drivers, with a liquid-cooled Scanspeak silk-dome tweeter, while its less-expensive sibling, the 8300-SE ($7999/pair) uses a conventional soft-dome tweeter. The new RBH speakers are available in 30 different veneers and finishes and both are expected to begin shipping in April.

Hi JA,Sorry for being off topic in your report re: RBH speakers . . . Are you going to report on the new Vandersteen 7? I'm curious to know about its drivers, enclosure, and if the woofer is now side-firing.

I'll be posting my thoughts on the new Vandersteen later today, Matt. I would have done so earlier but yesterday was a travel day.

Matt, did you see the new RHB speakerset coming out in August? Looks bangin', similar but with a few upgrades to the dimensions and waves. I'll try to find the link and post it up. Thanks for the good reads on your blog.Robert @ Make Money Free

Let your partner talk until he is finished. Don't interrupt except to acknowledge. Whatever you hear, don't take it personally. It's not really about you. Try to learn as much as you can in this phase of the conversation. You'll get your turn, but don't rush things.
