Revel Tweet Break-in after repairs


Hi All,

My Revel Salon speaker is going back to the factory today for repairs. Most likely only to replace the high frequency tweeter up front. I was wondering whether a new tweeter will require break-in time before I get the optimal sound reproduction from it?

I strongly believe that my speaker (left one) got damaged when I played the new Barbra Striesand Dual-Disc remaster of her Guilty disc. I played it through my modified Sony SCD-1 player (Vacuum State Level 4.5 mods). When I played this disc I thought what a crappy sounding disc. There was a warbling sound coming from the damaged speaker and it wasn't Bab's voice doing the warbling. The speaker was fine prior to that listening session.

I guess it serves me right for supporting such a bad format. The disk in question is now in the trash. Anyways, I found out I only liked one song on that disc and I already had an old copy of that song.

My dealer is no longer in business and was also out of state. Speaker was purchased from an Arizona dealer and I am in California now. I tried to contact 2 local dealers on Revel's recomendations. One refused to look at it while the other was going to send it back to Revel. So I decided to send it back myself. I sent it by BaxGlobal for $230.00 and Revel will fix for free and pay return shipping through Watkins.

I was not too keen to open the speaker up because that is not my expertise.

With regards to the crappy singer. I used to think that about her also (I listen to mainly Alternative) but I heard one track on that disc somewhere and I thought it was a stunner. Unfortunately I did not like the rest of the disc. But she does have an incedible voice.

Raquel, I know you own Salons and I have read may of your post before. They are very insightful.

BTW - BAXGlobal will not pick up at a residence (unless you have an account with them). I had them pick up the speaker at my work place. Their web site is slightly misleading on this.
