Upgrade from Revel 228be?
I am currently running Revel 228be's with a single Rythmik sub, and recently changed to all Pass electronics: XP27 phono-pre, XP32 line-pre, and X260.8 monos. My SQ is very good, and the Revels have few weaknesses, but I'm considering a step up to a more refined speaker with a more inert cabinet.
Are there any Revel 228be owners out there who have made a successful upgrade? My budget is $15k-$25k, used (likely). I listen to pretty much everything but the emphasis is on Blue Note jazz, fusion, Zappa. I like percussive, instrumental music, so I need something that can handle the thump.
On my list so far are Rockport Atria II, TAD E1tx, a Magico or Borresen possibly, etc.
Thoughts, suggestions?
https://speakerchoices.com/?pricemin=20000&pricemax=45000 I don't think you will get a better sound IN YOUR room if everything is already optimal. You will get a DIFFERENT sound from different speakers. Which may be good enough, if you have the itch to spend 25K. To me, it's a questionable investment, but of course you earned it, you enjoy it. Strangely, the choices aren't overwhelming in your price range |
