Yes, a very odd title for TR and NO I have no vested interest in the company providing this deal but I thought it was worth pointing out to anyone looking to add a surround system to their home theatre.
***this is not SPAM, I’m not selling anything nor benefitting in any way from this.***
I work in the a home theatre related industry, for new home builders, custom theatre designers etc. One of teh top companies around these days for Home Audio speakers is RBH Sound. They are a pioneer that has been around over 30 years and has designed and made speakers for the greats, such as JBL, MacIntosh, and Rockford Fosgate.
They have a sister company called EMP, where they offer products for online sale. One product EMP carries is a clone of the RBH TK series, a very well designed mid-level home theatre speaker with fibreglass cones (similar to the B&W cones).
Right now, as they are phasing out the TK series, they have dropped procing on the EMP line also, there is a well known US based online retailer that is blowing them out DIRT CHEAP.
To give you an example, the TK-515C (same speaker different brand name) sold for about $299.00 EACH.
Audioholics, a respectable online reviewer and retailer is offering 5 yes FIVE of them for $200.00!!! That’s $40 per speaker. The cool thing is that they are using the cones from the RBH TK-515C’s so they are identical to RBH in almost every way now.
Even if you don’t have anywhere to put them today, $40 each is absolutely insane. The value of the crossovers alone is more than double that, the high end, shielded drivers are worth a lot of dough.
In other words, high performance home audio for less than ANY blowout retail store can touch.
If ANYONE is looking to upgrade or build a new 5 speaker surroud system, this is the best value for money in a speaker package available in North American right now.
I’d buy a set myself but I already have a decent RBH package, which I paid a lot more for even directly from the manufacturer.
Again, not spam, just passing on a truly incredible deal. I’ve been in the industry for eons and have never seen such a deal from anyone before.
