RBH WM-24, WM-30, FM-45 Conclusion
The WM-24
or W-30? If you’ve just bought a flat panel display, these are for you! The WM-24s, WM-30 and FM-45s ability to play
loud and clean was effectively showcased in my exhaustive listening
sessions.. For those limited in
floorspace and/or wanting a speaker system that will aesthetically match their
new flat panel display, the M Series loudspeaker from RBH Sound should be on
your list of products to audition. The
system as a whole works very well together and blends seamlessly thanks to its
excellent timber matching and system synergy.
Hang a pair
of WM-24s or WM-30s on your wall and you’re investing in RBH Sounds 30+ years
experience in developing and refining advanced loudspeaker products. Upgrade
your current flat panel display speakers to a pair of WM-24s or WM-30s, maybe
add a third as a center channel, and you’ve just gained an extra dimension to your
viewing experience. Add a sub and watch the envy factor head up in your circle
of friends & neighbors.
If the budget doesn’t allow for a flagship product, such as the RBH T-30LSE, you’ll find many of the design-side benefits, such as the advanced driver technology common to all RBH products, are to be had in the affordable FM-45. Its biampable, sports a collection of top-notch drivers and is pure RBH through and through.
The Score Card

You might have put in the wrong SPL vs FREQ graphics. The ones there show roll offs at 70 hz & 10K hz. On the other hand, I can't recall another review that used the phrase "remains largely within +/- 3dB of that figure from about". It's usually "IS within +/- 3dB".
Check the graphs again. Despite the dip at 10kHz, its still within +-3dB as Mark states. Its 3dB point is also around 45Hz on the low end as he states.
as for his choice of wording, hey he is Canadian, and they do things a little differently
