Sinai RC1

RC1 were using their silver grilled system that has been around for about 20 years powered by Crest 9001/CA18s. Sinai were using Paraflex silver formula 21s powered by X8s. Sheer output.   No comparison, RC1 had it by a massive margin and could have still had this advantage with a lot less kit. Depth of Bass.  The paraflex subs were missing notes at the bottom and strangely some of the upper bass notes seemed either to jump out very loudly or were muffled, it was a very odd sounding thing but quite loud. RC1 covered the whole of the bass range well but from 50 down it was bloody eye watering to be absolutely honest and hit every note with authority. I have personally heard the Golden formula 21s the silver formula 21s and the double 18 type Os and in my honest opinion they all have the above issues. Let's hope we can have an honest discussion about plans/designs like we used to.    photo shows RC1 have 13 crest amps in their racks. How many X8 did Sinai have?

I hadn't heard rc1 or sinai until Saturday so was excited. Was looking forward o hearing paraflex for the first time. Until I arrived and heard them 😬 . They're OK but really not special. Missing alot of notes . Always seemed like they're lacking something.  Rc1 completely outdone it in every way. Felt like you couldn't breathe sometimes when it dropped.
