I have had two different installers recommend these two speakers for our space. I am not expecting anyone has directly compared these two, but I am curious if anyone has had experience with either of them.

There is a local church that has the RH's so I will be taking a field trip. I have no experience with Fulcrum.

The RH system was quoted with an EV DC One DSP and Lab Gruppen E12:2 for the amp. The Fulcrum was quoted using either a Powersoft m20D DSP + Amp or Symetrix Jupiter 8 + QSC PLX1804 amp. Both systems pretty close to the same price (quoted) so I am not sure which one to choose.

I am well aware that there is more to it than just picking something that sounds good on paper (acoustics, placement, etc). I am just looking for feedback or info on these particular brands and models since I have never personally used or heard them.

The room is roughly 80 x 40 with a 30 ft peak.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Jared

Hi,
I have used the CFX121 in that same line, and while it is a very good pro level product, I expect that the Fulcrum should be significantly superior based on my limited experience hearing some Fulcrum products. Renkus is a great company, but I have the highest respect for Fulcrum. Also, the DSP in the Fulcrum solution is more powerful which may benefit you beyond just these boxes.

Of course there is nothing as good as demoing the product in your environment.....
