How would you rate the quality / price?
With experience, you do again this choice

Qualiter very decent price compared with € 1,200 ca house RCF qualiter a breathtaking

Yes I would do without hesitation that choice

I got a second box rachettais RCF Art 905As with ca houses I advice you can close your eyes I go

How long have you been using?
For more than a year ...
Cons: too small adjustment knob and the three switches that are too close to each other ...
Did you try many other models before buying it?
I have not tried other models but one lucas alpha with two satellites ... coupled with the RCF msr 400 n 2 (did not have to turn pale ... despite the diff between 15 "and 18" ... it send anyway.
How do you rate the quality / price?
For us it is the (electro acoustic duo) ... we filter and send the rest in MSR 400 ... It not drool and cash without prbl blows perceived bass drum pad. Given the size and weight performance delivered is more than very correct.
With experience, you do again this choice?
I think yes without hesitation.

I use this box with 2 satellite speakers ART 410 A for four months.
This system replaces a HK Powo who does not play at all in the same category. (Quality and price).

I listened to other sub: Dynacord Powersub 315 (I adore ...... but too expensive), HK Impact, Orpheus.

Most of this sub:

- Performance for its size: 131 dB, ca bang!
- His weight of 33 Kg
- Compact: smaller than my old Powo!
- The cover allows convenient use without removing it.
- The filter for spacecraft onboard


Cons:

- I find it does not come down enough and he "bangs" limited too: I reduce to equalize the frequencies between 80 and 120Hz and I go back which is slightly below.
- No wheels.

With a pair of satellites 410 A, I have a formidable power and sound clarity that I have nothing but praise for each output.
I was recently impressed by his rendering outside in a garden. Including 905 bass released by this are impressive for size.

FCR Congratulations!

I use this sub for 4 months, coupled with a pair of 712A.
In sub, I have not seen much before, and the thomann HK Audio ... (I was rather full range 15 "...)
In short, both say I was surprised upon first use. Even at half volume, it shakes hard ... very much!
Very precise, the sound is percuttant, and suits me perfectly. It's a real pleasure to work with material of this quality! The limiter is very effective, the sound is nickel in all circumstances.
From my side no snoring problem ...

Brief, very significant, easily manageable. He made regular rental, never had any problems with it.

First cabinet in February 2010, second in May of that year.

What I like most is the performance / weight of this box. As the reviews say, this makes an enormous pressure to deliver such a small size and especially for its low weight. The sound is clean and precise, it does not bleed.

As for negatives, I would mention first the return of low trooops important scene. Difficult to manage for the mic voice and even sometimes for the GC (Xover 120hz for the 905 while on most console, the filter is at 80Hz HIPASS). Even bassisste has hardly needed his amplibasse! Then the fragility of finish and even the cabinet. I think that RCF has made huge savings on to the detriment of utilisateurs.Aprés, including the oddity about LED signal lights and limit which so little sense (Limit s'llume front signal). Finally, is the lack of infrastructure. There is not much below 40 Hz

I have not tried the other box but can just compare it with another box that I could hear DAS ST18, Mackie SWA Promann. DAS outperforms it up a notch but it's not the same product category.

Value for the right price.

As for the choice again, I veraison time. Maybe I would look more toward the newcomer to build 718 AS.

I put 6 / 10 because of the LEDs and the build quality not very robust.

I just got my PCF 905AS. First surprise: they are not heavy (my back will be grateful). Second surprise: although not broken in yet, they have a huge dynamic range so I guess the sound ought to get very good after some hours of operation...

To be continued...

I'm back with a new post...

After a few hours one speaker produces AC noise at 50 Hz.

So I'll go back to the dealer to contact RCF's after sale service...

To be continued...

I'm back again: I just got the third speaker and it's a BIG DISAPPOINTMENT because the problem is worse than on the second speaker!

The 50Hz noise is actually louder and an additional hum can be heard. It's very strange for a subwoofer, isn't it?

I'll go back to the dealer.

I'm starting to lose my faith in RCF's quality control.

To be continued...

It's me again:

I called the RCF representative and I was positively impressed by his commitment.

Congratulations.

He proposed me a solution right away.

I have an appointment on Friday, HATS OFF!

I'm confident they will find the defect on this HMX series...

The HLX series works great...

See ya!
