Highlights & Key Technologies

Bring Your Listening Room To Life
High fidelity and finesse. This elegant, individually hand built and painted, passive tower speaker "PX" pair will be a welcome addition to your home décor and audio listening experience. The proprietary AMT tweeters, 6.5 inch aluminum cone mid-range and woofer drivers are harmoniously balanced by RBH's hand made audiophile grade crossover. It's all brought together with Kimber Kable via reference terminals culminating in pristine audio production. You will love the elegant stature and smooth, balanced sound of your UNRIVALED 6500/PX full-range tower speakers; hand made reference crossovers and superior wiring make it possible. Eye-catching appearance, small footprint, stellar performance.

Power and Finesse
Triple 6.5" aluminum woofers deliver tight and musical output, while the extraordinary proprietary high output AMT tweeter provides smooth and highly detailed performance. Tweeter protection is provided.

UNRIVALED Passive Crossover (PX)
While designing the UNRIVALED crossover, two main goals were at the heart of the project: one, to maintain and preserve the original and desired tone curve of RBH speakers, and two, improve the signal integrity without coloring the sound. These crossovers are hand built with hand selected components onto a specially designed PCB board with triple the thickness of copper lining the board, providing the best compromise of preserving the signal integrity that is achieved with a point to point design and the cleanliness of a PCB board. The well renowned Mundorf Supreme Silver Gold & Oil bypass capacitor is used in the tweeter circuit, which increases the depth of the soundstage and sharpens the imaging. The passive crossover (/PX) variants offer that exceptional build quality that you expect from an UNRIVALED product with a carefully crafted, hand-made, hand selected crossover with exotic components that bring the sound quality to the next level without compromising the neutral sound that RBH is known for. Improvements that are immediately noticed are transient response, a clearer, more defined soundstage with pinpoint imaging as well as a deeper and wider soundstage. The sonic differences between UNRIVALED and Reference are as follows: clarity improves, soundstage increases in both breadth and depth, imaging is improved, and transient response is faster, all without sacrificing the tried and true RBH Sound sonic signature. The UNRIVALED passive variant helps bridge the gap between Signature Reference and UNRIVALED Active both in price and performance.

Damping Materials
Wool is an excellent acoustic absorber. It has a greater density and absorptive ability over polyfill. It is the material of choice for any sealed enclosures or chambers. For ported enclosures, cabinets are lined with high quality 1 inch foam which is a terrific absorber and ensures nothing is projected out of the ports.

R.A.D. Technology (Rubberized Aluminum Dampener)
Each UNRIVALED speaker cabinet is internally lined with an anti-resonance material. This material is made from rubber and aluminum and is adhered to the internal walls of the speaker. Effectively, it adds to the absorption of unwanted vibrations.

Internally Wired with Kimber Kable
As part of the no compromise that we pledge with UNRIVALED systems, we utilize Kimber wire with their tried and true braided geometry which further improves crosstalk rejection and external influences.

R.D.A.P. (Resonance Damping Acrylic Polymer)
To further the performance of the speaker (as well as cosmetics), side panels made from acrylic polymer solid surface, which has a density similar to granite, can drastically improve the rigidity of the speaker, which substantially reduces cabinet resonance providing several benefits including: reducing smearing, improved imaging, improved soundstage, tightened response, and improved clarity.

G.A.D.S. (patent pending)
On select, sealed only, speaker systems, RBH's new G.A.D.S. (granular acoustic damping system) technology is employed. Not only does it have mass loading effects, which can further improve the rigidity of the cabinet, it is also an excellent acoustic absorber. The marvel of this technology is while the granular particulates may occupy a significant amount of space in the enclosure, the impact on the total volume is negligibly affected, therefore the tuning of the box is near unaffected.

Customizable
Multiple side panel and finish options are available. The cabinet is offered in satin black or white with a hand painted satin finish, the acrylic polymer resonance damping side panels in gloss black or white, and the aluminum cone drivers in black or silver.

Timbre Matching
The 6500/PX provides timbre matched options for multi-channel sound across all freestanding, bookshelf, on-wall and in-wall products in the SF, SV, SI and UNRIVALED series.

Built in the USA
The 6500/PX is individually hand built, painted and tested. It is designed, engineered, tested and assembled in USA from American and imported parts, and the cabinet is made in the USA of High Density Fiberboard (HDF). For over 50 years, RBH Sound has designed and built loudspeakers in the USA with a singular focus - accurate sound reproduction, reliability, and timeless performance.
