GF RBS-1 Speaker Review - StereoMojo

First review on my speakers :

"I could provide a long list of similarly priced speakers that I consider inferior to the RBS-1, including some popular models like the B&W 705 or Totem Model 1 Signature"

"Three people compared the Grant Fidelity RBS-1 to the Usher Be-718 in my system, and two of the three preferred the Grant Fidelity RBS-1!"

"...with the richness of Sonus Faber, the sweet and detailed top end of Focal, the tonal characteristics of Paradigm, and perfect midrange of the Rogers LS3/5A..."

All this in a bookshelf speaker.... I'd love to listen to these babies. Any chance to expand GF in Europe?

We are only selling direct (from the factory) at the moment to Europe etc, still with the 30 day trial. The Shuguang Treasure Series tubes are selling a lot in Europe and the reviews are still coming from European reviewers

Most of our electronics are dual voltage now (including the B-283 or we can provide 220v.

These speakers (RBS-1) are what I look for in a speaker, but being a frugalphile by heart I made the MBS-1 almost as good for a lot less money. Same midrange performance, but less bass extension and upper detail. The MBS-1 just sounds right, no matter what you play on it, but still accurate enough for studio work. And they look basically the same, MDF/Vineer instead of real wood.

Nice speakers Ian. Big time WAF, which is key for some.

I agree with the reviewer -- who preferred the Ushers (no shame there) -- that a lot of people prefer more laid back tweeters.

Thanks for the feedback Mark. I've never heard those Usher's, but will keep them in my radar. I had the tweeters laid back, more like Sonus Faber, but needing to still get the Focal and Green Mountain Audio type top end found my balance. The reviewer never really got them burnt in (not his fault), when the Morel woofer breaks in the balance evens out to a really nice presentation.

Cheers,
Ian

I know little about speakers. For the price I would put my Epos 12.2 against alot of bookshelf speakers. I can listen to classical or rock and they jam. Yes you do have to get the right placement. To find out about them do a google and see how simple they are. They are still built in the UK.
