Speaker Review - RBH Sound 661 SW/R & 61 SW/R

[@stillbluehometheater1056]

Correction: The tweeters are an AMT (Air Motion Transformer) not ATM (Automatic Teller Machine) 😂

Great video. I had never heard of that company or their products before. I’ll have to go to their home Page and check them out.

[@stillbluehometheater1056]

Excellent. Thank you. The company website is in the description section.

I’ve heard the 61-SW/R. It’s a beautifully detailed satellite speaker. But, if you like “more” then you need to check out the 8 inch driver line of on-wall products from RBH. I use the on-wall 831-SW/R for my home theater LCR’s. I’ve never heard anything more beautiful and dynamic from a Home Theater speaker. It’s got the output of a horn loaded theater speaker, but the sound and detail of an expensive hi-fi speaker.

I was impressed with these speakers. Hopefully, I can get the 831-SW/R in and try it out.

Sonos Arc Ultra + Sub 4 vs this Which is better?

[@gufiaito69able]

How they compare with the PSA?

[@stillbluehometheater1056]

Both are great speakers in my opinion. But, very different. The 661 SW/R is a 2-way speaker with a AMT tweeter. The MTM-212 is a 3-way with a horn design. The 212 dives a bit deeper while the 661 extends well into those higher frequencies. The 212 is also a monster of a speaker. Its huge and bigger in person than it may appear in the video. The 661 is very compact. If space is limited, RBH for sure. Plenty of quality output in a relatively small speaker. The 212 is an output monster. Tons and tons of output and power while staying very clean. There is something very distinctive about a horn based driver that is appealing to my ear--personally. But, I found myself impressed by the AMT driver and those highs were crystal clear. Also, being so compact, you could easily use the 661 around a room for ever channel--LCRs, surrounds and overheads. Overheads would be a stretch but it could work. You can't go wrong with either. Solid builds. But, they are very different. It will depend on your personal taste. In summation, for pure unadulterated power and output and if you're into that distinct beautiful horn sound--212. For a smaller footprint, beautifully crystal clear highs (note the 212 also has beautiful highs but the 661 covers more of the frequency range) and the opportunity to have exact matching speakers across the room--661. Hopefully that's somewhat helpful. It got a bit long but very good question.

Awesome answer i have MTM212 LCR and MTM210 for sorrounds and i love them end game for me.​@stillbluehometheater1056

Can / should the tweeter be rotated when placed horizontaly?

[@stillbluehometheater1056]

Yes. The tweeter for the 661 was oriented so that the speaker could be positioned horizontally.

What is the difference between a speaker like this and a decent tower from paradigm strictly for movies? I have more than enough to put towers behind my screen and 5 feet of room from the back wall to speakers? Are triads, nla Rbh worth it over good quality spekaers?

[@LunarLightLtd1]

I own RBH myself and they are my end game speakers. RBH does offer a wide range of speakers from world class towers to some of the best subwoofers on the planet. You should check them out.

[@MD2525-1]

@LunarLightLtd1 cool. But you didn't answer my question
