Home Theater's Joe Hageman loved RBH Sound, Inc.'s Signature Series loudspeakers. He may want to revisit the company's offerings now that they've launched the T1, a new flagship product.

The T1, which debuted at the 2002 Consumer Electronics Show, is intended "to provide the ultimate in performance in large-scale home theater systems." Capable of handling 500 watts of power, but boasting a sensitivity of 90dB, the T1 features four 6.5" aluminum cone midwoofers and three 1" tweeters, and is capable of putting out clean sound at an astounding 120dB sound pressure level---similar to a jet engine at takeoff. Low-end cutoff frequency is said to be 45Hz.

The T1 can be used as a stand-alone speaker, or as a custom-installed speaker in a cabinet. It can be purchased separately or in a "T2N"package deal with subwoofers and amplifiers. The complete T2N package consists of a pair of T1's and a pair of 1010SEN subwoofers, with a pair of SA-400 amplifiers to drive the subs. With the 1010SEN woofers between the T1, the combined system is said to rival the sound pressure and quality of most commercial theaters.

The T1 speakers are built in mirror-imaged pairs and can be finished in any of more than thirty real wood veneers. Suggested retail prices: The T1 is $4099/ pair in standard finishes or $5399/pair in custom finishes. The T2N system is $5997/standard or $7797/custom.

RBH Sound is based in Layton, Utah. Phone 801-543-2200 or 800-543-2205.
