What's an upgrade from Ryan R610s?
I’ve owned my pair of Ryan R610s for several years now, and to be honest, I really like them. They’re a major bargain (or at least were when I bought them), and they’re very pleasant to listen to--extremely well balanced across their range of frequencies, never shrill but still deliver all the detail I could want. Great horizontal stereo image, though I don’t hear a lot of depth (this is very likely due to the way my room is arranged and it’s not flexible, unfortunately). So yes, I’ve really enjoyed these but now, mostly out of restlessness, I’m wondering what would be a step up from these? WAF precludes floor-standers so we have to confine our search to monitors, and I need to keep the price under the 3K level. Suggestions welcome. Thanks!
Rest of the system: Modwright KWI 200 integrated, Cambridge Audio CXU universal player, REL S/2 sub, Sonnet Morpheus DAC/Hermes streamer. Wires from Audience, Morrow, and Cardas, Furman Elite 15PFI conditioner/Core Power DeepCore 1800 on a dedicated circuit.
@nonoise thanks for sharing that someone actually has a pair and listened to them in the US. My local Revival dealer is very excited about these and he get's his 3's and 5's in sometime this week. I am very interested in the 5's based on my room size. Would you have other impressions you can share? Perhaps instead of hijacking the OP's thread (btw I used to own the Ryan R610's....loved them!) you could do a member review or start a thread on all things Revival speakers. |
