Odd Revel Performa M20 Question ?

Received today a pair of Revel M20. One of the intriguing aspects of these speakers was that each speaker (according to specifications) weighed 45 lbs, or 20.4 kg. Unusually heavy for speakers of this size. Specs for packaged shipping weight is 48 lbs., each.

When I received the FedEx tracking info over the weekend, the packaged weight for both speakers was listed at 74.7 lbs. Speakers were sent in two separate boxes....original boxes and original packing materials.... one weighing 37.8 lbs. the other 36.9 lbs.

This caught my attention and I thought maybe a misread from the shipping origin. On receiving the speakers today at FedEx, I put one box on the scale and it read 37.8 lbs. Got home, removed the speakers from boxes and weighed again on a bathroom scale. One speaker weighed ~ 36 lbs, without grilles and without feet.

Hooked up the speakers and they sound good. I'll need some time before deciding if I like them.

So my question, hopefully to those actually owning the Performa M20, what do your speakers weigh? Hard to imagine that a manufacturer's specification could miss by nearly 10 lbs.

Nice revive Dan.

Early in this thread I mentioned I was a previous owner of the M20. I am now a current owner of these lovely speakers as after going through many different speakers the M20 sound kept haunting me. Just a great speker for the money on the used market.

My only complaint about the M20 is their looks; a big boxy stand mount. Of course when the music starts and I close my eyes...

And FWIW, the shipped cartons weighed in around 38.5 lbs. per speaker.

Hi Tim, Hard to say about the looks, mine happened to be in the gloss rosewood with the light gray covers. I guess not streamlined like the Nautilus 805's..... but they sound better, to me a lot better, looking for another set as I write, and have yet to find or even see another rosewood set, a plus for me is the flat top, my cats perch.... she likes class A sound upclose and personal.....lol
