RBH Sound Hits the Brown Note 21" Subwoofer Review!
RBH Sound’s Unrivaled 21-SF/R is a 370+ lbs. monster that uses a 21” carbon fiber driver powered by a 4,000 watt amplifier. This bruiser is so powerful that it forced us to create a whole new category of performance for our Bassaholics room rating called Maximus. I discuss how this subwoofer has forever changed my music and home theater experience. Infrasonics are for real and if you're a bassaholic like me, you won't want to miss this video!

    The usual 2 ways have huge comprimises about bass, and if they scale woofer bigger then directivity suffers, I guess horn can be crossed lower so woofer could be bigger but then you got narrow dispersion pattern which might sound smaller.

    Denon for sure (and I think Marantz) finally got rid of the lame small/large terminology in their menus. Now we have frequencies and crossovers specified. It's much clearer and beginners no longer say things like "but my speakers are big, why set to small?"

    Love your top 10 list as I owns all of them and listen to them regularly. But for me, my taste, my humble opinion 😅, my #2 spot right after Pink Floyd DSM is Supertramp Crime of the Century. To me it’s a non-skip album with a story telling from the beginning to the end. I’ll make sure to listen to your top 10 keeping in mind what you have said about them so I audition them differently . And for that, I thank you! Keep the good work and stay safe.

    @Audioholics, I’m in the process of updating my new television set and sound system, I’ve been living in an apartment for the past 5 years, but now I’m moving to a new and spacious house first week of July 2024, at the present moment I have a 55 Inch Hisense TV that passes through Dolby Atmos signal (when available), I use a firestick 4K max plugged in the eArc HDMI input that sends signal wirelessly to a set of 2 echo studio speakers and an Amazon subwoofer, it’s a 2.1 sound system (760 watts pick)I also use an Apple TV box 4K plugged in a different HDMI port, in other words I use the firestick tv as a soundbar, good enough to watch movies with immersive sound and listening to music in 24 bits in a small flat. Now, for my new bigger house, I’m contemplating a 77 Inch LG G4 TV and a Samsung 990D soundbar. I know these soundbars are cheap in comparison to HiFi speaker systems, what are your thoughts and do you have any recommendations, also do you know if WiSA technology is capable of streaming lossless audio via Wifi? LG, Sony and Hisense offer WiSA streaming capabilities over the internet in their premium television sets.
