Know before you buy
The RBH 85-i speakers are rated for a recommended amplifier power between 50W and 200W. Given their 6-ohm impedance and 87dB sensitivity, a quality amplifier within this range will provide sufficient headroom to drive them effectively.
These speakers are designed to excel at both. The 3-way configuration provides the detail needed for critical music listening, while the 8-inch woofer delivers the punch and scale required for immersive home theater soundtracks.
No, the speakers come with magnetic grilles included. They are designed to attach easily to the front baffle, providing a clean, finished look while protecting the drivers.
The anodized aluminum woofer and midrange drivers are chosen for their rigidity, which helps minimize distortion and ensures a fast, accurate response. This results in tight, controlled bass and clear, articulate midrange frequencies.
The speakers have a frequency response of 45Hz to 20kHz (±3dB). This range covers the vast majority of musical content, though those looking for extreme sub-bass extension for movies may still choose to pair them with a dedicated subwoofer.
RBH Sound provides a 5-year limited manufacturer's warranty for the 85-i Impression tower speakers. This covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use.
