Introduction
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. The fact that the MC-6C’s could outgun pricier speakers on the market 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.

I use the same set up for my PC. I bought the RBH new back in 2004 and have since moved on to other speakers, but I found out they make excellent PC speakers. I usually just use them in stereo, but they all sound and work well together from a 5.1 set up. You won't hear much difference between the 414 & 616.
Well, its a bit late now lol. I upgraded to the 616c. I may have a problem forming. I actually live less than 5 miles from RBH Sound. And going there and looking at all the goodies is going to get me in trouble.
I have had the pleasure of listening to the PM-8s and the SVTRs. Got a look at the Status 8Ts Gene had as well, but havent got to listen to them… Yet..

I know this is quite an old post, but I recently got my hands on 2 pair of the MC-6C speakers, and i ended up going with the MC-414C for a center due to size constraints. Is there much of a downside in going with the 414 vs the 616? Also now looking for a 5 Channel amp to power these, as it seems my current receiver is a bit lacking in the power dept.
currently using this in a 5.1 setup for my computer, with a Yamaha RX-V667 running the show, taking input from a Creative SoundBlaster X3. Locally i found someone selling a Pioneer Elite TSX-92TXH for $200 Would this be a good upgrade from the Yamaha, and possibly eliminate needing a seperate amp?

I purchased some RBH MC series a few years ago. I was having trouble figuring out which configuration to get and I eventually called RBH and talked to one of the engineers. Unfortunately his name escapes me, as it's coming up on four years now. Based on my budget & needs, he recommended MC 616's and for the sub, the MS 10.1. This guy knows his stuff because he nailed the recommendation.
The MS 10.1 sound is rich, deep & has a nice punch. It's very accurate and starts/stops when it's supposed to. I also like to feel the sound when appropriate and this little speaker has the goods.
I know it's been a while since the original post, but better late than never. ;-)
