Well... Tell me what you guys think! Vandersteen has the advantage of its time/phase coherence. Whereas the salons MAY just have phase... Has anyone listened to both? Any feedback is greatly appreciated!
I couldnt agree more with String. The Revel is smooth for sure but IMO a touch more forward compared to Vandy. But I do love the Revels looks over the 5A. But its not really about looks so I have to firmly fall in the 5A camp.
No it means it has no warmth, accurate is good for some but cold and sterile to many others. You can also have accurate with warmth its all in how somebody voices a speakers I suppose. I think the Revels sounded forward or harsh in midrange so maybe we heard same thing but worded it differently its not offensive but its there all the same. All in all I think its looking pretty obvious the 5A is the one to get!
Thats hogwash, all 5A are SS bass powered and often they are powered by tubes for the mids and tweets with superb results. In fact most times I have heard them were with tubes and I have never heard a bad sounding setup. Were do Silverbacks fit into a Revel or Vandy question anyway?
