MC-6C Speaker Conclusion
The RBH
Sound MC-6C speaker system has certainly exceeded my expectations and proved
that, like a fine wine, a product line can get better overtime (if careful
engineering is utilized). The fact that
the MC-6C’s could outgun other pricier speakers I currently have in for review
is a testament to a speaker company not so concerned with profit margins as
much as they are with bringing a high performance product to market that
targets music lovers and movie aficionados alike. They can play plenty loud,
never sounding strained or stressed when asked to be pushed harder than they
should be. Although they lack some of
the transparency and fluidity of my Decimo’s and very few other high rollers,
their pristine midrange, dynamic nature and rock bottom pricing more than makes
up for it. These speakers have no right
sounding as good as they do in a sub $1k price range.
I have no reservations recommending the RBH Sound MC-6C’s for critical two channel applications, or high performance home theater installs paired with their matching MC-616C and MC-44C surround speakers. If you want the ultimate performance from these speakers, remember that I strongly encourage you to carefully select two very musical and potent subwoofers to pair with these babies. I found mating them with my Velodyne DD-15’s worked quite nicely in adding the much needed bottom end and further smoothing out the overall tonality of the system. Whatever configuration permutation you can think up, I am certain the new MC line of RBH Sound can meet your needs and can practically guarantee you aren’t likely to send them packing once you get them integrated into your listening room.

About RBH Sound
RBH Sound is one of the oldest speaker companies in the USA still run and operated by the original founder - Roger Hassing. In 1976 RBH Sound produced its first loudspeaker. RBH soon began to OEM for McIntosh, (back in the days of Gordon Gow), providing cabinets for their speakers. This set the stage for doing a superb job since McIntosh didn’t worry about how to cheapen the product, but to make it better and, at least at the time, lead the class in performance. Later on RBH Sound began producing loudspeakers for a retailer in Los Angeles called Northridge Audio. They didn’t advertise or market these products to avoid a conflict of interest with their other OEM customers (i.e. McIntosh, Parasound, Fosgate, etc). People nonetheless sought them out because of their high performance, which lead to a good success story and response for their products. Over the years RBH Sound was successful at helping other companies in achieving their goals. Based on their strong engineering background and sourcing ability, they took it upon themselves to enter the market under their own banner.
The Score Card
The scoring below is based on each piece of equipment doing the duty it is designed for. The numbers are weighed heavily with respect to the individual cost of each unit, thus giving a rating roughly equal to:
Performance × Price Factor/Value = Rating
Audioholics.com note: The ratings indicated below are based on subjective listening and objective testing of the product in question. The rating scale is based on performance/value ratio. If you notice better performing products in future reviews that have lower numbers in certain areas, be aware that the value factor is most likely the culprit. Other Audioholics reviewers may rate products solely based on performance, and each reviewer has his/her own system for ratings.
