I am wondering if anyone can tell me what sonic differences there are between.

RS 4B and RS IIIB More bass out of the RSIIIBs? Anything else?

Original RSIII verses the RS 4B??
Where would the early 90s Reference 6 fit in this group??
Thanks

the 4b's have 8" woofers vs the IIb's 10". both are 3-way designs. the reference six is a 4-way with a 10" woofer.


comparing frequency response:

rs4b: 40hz - 32khz

rsIIIb: 34hz - 32khz

reference six: 35hz - 40khz


power handling:

rs4b: 40 - 150 watts

rsIIIb: 50 - 200 watts

reference six: 35 - 225 watts


IIIb and 4b are rated at a vague 4 - 8 ohms, the reference six at 6 ohms.


personally, i find the reference six superior. the technology was better. the emit-r has better frequency response and dispersion. the IMG (injection molded graphite) cones are superior in both performance and longevity to the poly drivers of the rs (and not prone to the disintegration problems of poly drivers). also the addition of a mid-bass driver adds more flavor to the sound.

the rs do have nicer looking cabinets though.
