Introduction

It isn't often that I review a product that fundamentally changes the way I listen and experience audio. Status Acoustics, the premier line of RBH Sound, has managed to do just that with their new flagship Titus 8T floorstanding loudspeaker system. The sound of this speaker system transcends their physical cabinets, which is grandiose and in your face when called to do so, yet delicate like the petals of a rose beckoning you to carefully listen, rewarding you with pure unadulterated audio perfection. If you’re in the market to assemble a cost-no-object audiophile two-channel or multi-channel system, I can’t imagine anyone not being completely satisfied with the new Status Acoustics Titus 8T speaker system. These are truly what I consider to be “speakers for life”. Highly recommended!

Senior College Year: EMP E5ti's, EMP E-41B's

Halfway through senior year now... Sold a large portion of it to other college kids. Still have the Denon, Onkyo, KEF's, Wharfedale's, Rythmik's, RBH's, and both EMP sets. Gave the RC160 to my mom.

I can't imagine I'll be buying anything else for a while now. Maybe an amp or something, but definitely no speakers for a while.[/QUOTE]

... and we'll have fun! fun! fun! till my daddy takes the T-Bird away.

I've also sat and read reviews on rechargeable batteries as another example. All this in spite of the fact that if a cashier at my grocery store asked me if I wanted to donate $20 to the food bank, I'd not have a problem saying yes without needing an hour to think about it.


I like Sanyo Eneloops

Whenever they ask me to donate at the grocery store, movie theater, or fast food joint, I ask if they are matching donations. If they are, then I'll donate. If they don't, then I don't either >_>

When I was a younger man (not that I'm terribly old), I blew more money in one night on women and booze than the retail value of my entire AV setup. I have no regrets


Then you were more successful than I was.

When I was in college I was similar to M & G, but I spent my money on cars and women.
