Anyone have issues with Revel Performa speakers


I recently purchased Revel PERFORMA F206 towers using an Anthem receiver and Rotel 1582 200wpc amp and after 2 weeks tweeter blew while1 not playing very loud. I went from Paradigm Monitor 11s and played them way louder without any issues. Going to a Mark Levinson 532h amp and hopefully can play loud without any clipping and the Revels hold up. Is this a known issue with Revels not taking playing loudly or possibly Rotel clipped and caused this ?? Or perhaps just a bad tweeter driver from the start ?

I don’t want to be the stick in the mud here but seriously if your listening to music at 95db for extended and frequent periods your are damaging your ears plain and simple. I know people here say that it’s only the transients that are that loud but Its still too loud just be careful and mindful that you can damage your hearing above 85db.

Now there are speakers that that will give you what seems a louder sound because of bettter dispersion, timing, pace etc also more efficient speakers can at times seem louder because they tend to be faster and also require less power

you do not want concert  sound levels at home that's reckless people in that business were ear protection at work for a reason.
