Looking for revel b15a - do i wait for new revel

The cherry Revel sub Willand pointed out is a B15 and not a B15a. The person doing the listing has it wrong.

The B15 has the characteristic feet (which that auction has) and the B15a does not have the three feet on it. The back panel is also distinguished more in its layout and lines and groupings than the original B15.

So if you are interested in that cherry sub, it's an older B15 and not the more recent B15a. The auction listing is incorrect.

I knew it was a Revel B15 because of the cast aluminum feet. I can't understand why Revel decided to eliminate them with the introduction of the B15a. The back panel on the B15a is more user friendly but functionality is still about the same with the exception of a contour toggle switch, 12v triggers, and and EQ all switch..

Thanks for your feedback. I've never heard or seen a bad thing said about the b15 or b15a. My preference is the b15a over the b15 because of the easier use of the back panel. I called revel and also a revel dealer and didn't as much info on the new subwoofers as I wanted to. I'll probably call back Revel and try finding someone else with more knowledge and specifics on the new subs. In the meantime, if any one knows of a b15a out there for sale I would be interested. I prefer black since my speakers are black. Theo, Tks for the lead on the sub, I will follow up on that one.

If you have a receiver or pre-pro with room correction the back panel becomes irrelevant. That's why Revel has dropped all EQ from the newest subs. I now never use the EQ on my B15 after an upgraded pre-pro.

Dropped all EQ from their newest subs? Tain't so. See this from CES:
