fas42 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 I see this type of unit as being the future of audio, because everything in one box means the engineering of the whole can be got right. Unfortunately, I still don't get any idea of how well it can do in presenting intense, Big Sound from that review, Chris - would be handy to know where you found limitations. Just found this review, https://www.techhive.com/article/3452520/mcintosh-rs200-review.html, which gives a completely different story on how well it performs ... so, no wiser about its SQ, 🤪.

fas42 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 So, can you relate to anything he said in criticising the sound? Or, do you believe that he would have found the SQ as you heard it from the RS200 to be of a high standard? IOW, that what each of you heard was actually quite different, in an absolute sense, because the samples of the unit were performing differently, in how they were set up and used? Link to comment
fas42 Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 This video tells me a lot, Music that is focused on percussive sounds does well - but it falls well short of projecting anything large scale; I'm reminded of, well, a kitchen radio ... 😁. Link to comment

With crossovers identified as 275Hz and 4kHz, it'd be interesting to see how they're orienting those drivers! This review has some pics of those parts, https://blog.son-video.com/en/2019/08/review-mcintosh-rs200/ Link to comment

Well, I watch a video of the capture a live, large scale orchestral performance on my computer, and every auditory cue tells me, this is Big Sound happening. It may not make the room that I am listening in ring from the intensity, but all the clues are there in what I hear - my mind can translate what's going on. From what I've read in the last hour or so, people either love the unit, or are severely disappointed - very little in the middle. Link to comment
fas42 Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 I have a funny feeling that this component would respond very strongly, and positively, to how it was set up in the room - at a guess, on a single, very solid, tallish pillar, no wider than the feet of the base. But of course no normal room would have such a "piece of furniture" ... Link to comment
fas42 Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 For those who believe that, say, YouTube clips can't tell the listener something about the system playing - try this for size. Unfortunately in Thai, but go to 7:15, for the meat ... bbosler 1 Link to comment
