3 years to late but better late then never, I agree with theo though my dad just bought some revel f32's and I bought the f12's and the sound difference isn't a lot really sometimes barely noticeable, in a small room they work great if powered right manual says 20-250watts I have them running on a harman kardon citation 21&22. I've also ran them off a sony str-v5 and they still sound wounderfull. my room is a 9x12. they highs were a bit harsh when I first set them up. I went to walmart and bought some foam pads and tacked them to the walls to in various places and now it just sounds amazing not harsh at all, crisp and clean. when I get enough money up I'm going to properly set up sound deadning. kind of looks like an insane asylum atm, lol.
Are Revel F12 speakers too much for a small room?
I'm very interested in a pair of Revel F12 speakers.
My system presently consists of a Marantz PM 7001 integrated amplifier (70Watt/Ch Into 8 ohms/100 watts/Ch Into 4 ohms), with two pairs of stacked large Advents and a Hsu subwoofer. My listening room is rather small, though-roughly 11 x 13 x 9h.
The Revels really sounded terrific at the dealer. Of course, the system at the dealer had vastly more power than I have in a fairly large room. The dealer suggested I come in with my Marantz, which I may still do, but it is a fair amount of trouble to get behind to disconnect and reconnect.
I can upgrade my system if I need more power, but my dedicated listening room is there for the duration. Are the Revels too much for the room size?
