| Revel Performa 3 FYI, I was with Richidoo on this trip to hear the F208's and I thought Erik was a great host for us. I owned the F30's when the Performa line first came out. I loved the bass and mids but the highs were too harsh for me (~10 years ago, on whatever... | |
| Pro-ject RM RPM 5 5.1 6 6.1etc. Owners Fixed Thank you! Thank you! I will do the grommets and belt upgrade to my RM6... can't wait. The suspension design is inherently flawed. All they've done is shift the vibration directly to the platter... instead of moving the vibration into the plinth. ... | |
| What is the best receiver for me? I can second the Marantz. I'd also suggest a Pioneer. I have not compared these head to head with each other but I own a digital Panasonic XR-25. I have heard all of these separately and I think the Marantz is a clear winner. I installed the Maran... | |
| Review: Revel Performa F-30 Speaker I moved from a carpeted townhose with a wide, carpeted room and lots of absorbent stuff to a house with a big, hardwood floor that was very lively. The sound in the highs got really congested and fatiguing in this new room. I couldn't treat it pro... | |
| Small and satisfying. Please help me. I just bought the 'Micro's' from Rutledge Audio Design:http://www.rutledgeaudiodesign.com/speakers.htmThey are very small and sound excellent. They have a smooth, balanced sound and the highs aren't harsh or brittle. They have a similar appeal to ... | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE I change speakers all the time. I get a new pair almost every year. However, the Green Mountain Audio Europa's are here to stay. I've never heard a speaker sound more like actual instruments and voices like these do. I don't care if I get a new sy... | |
| Avalon's "Symbol": Good As "Other" $3500 Spks?? Ended up with Green Mountain Europas. They sound most like actual music to me. (in an 11x12x9' room with hardwoods and a good bit of room treatments). They do need a small sub, though.The highs aren't ultra-extended and the lower bass isn't perfec... | |
| Avalon's "Symbol": Good As "Other" $3500 Spks?? FYI.. just another update... the VR1's are out... they do have a natural timbre but, not as accurate in the details as I'd like. Also, in my small room, they were a little glaring. I'm working very hard to treat the room...I've recently bought Gre... | |
| Avalon's "Symbol": Good As "Other" $3500 Spks?? I replaced the Revel's with a pair of Von Schweikert VR-1's. Lots of detail, good punch and excellent midrange. I thought the M20's highs were a little harsh. The VR-1's have an equally forward sound but, with a more natural timbre.I'll be demo'in... | |
| Avalon's "Symbol": Good As "Other" $3500 Spks?? I have the Revel F30's but, I've moved to a smaller room so, I'm selling them. I have an ad for them here. My room is only 11x12'. The Revel's are too big for the room. However, when they were in a larger room, they provided great detail, transpar... | |
| Best Amp for Revel F30 Just thought I'd post that I've decided to amplify the F30's with an AKSA 100 DIY amp. (http://www.aksaonline.com) I was seriously considering: Odyssey, Threshold SA series, modified B&K ST-202, BAT, and McCormack. I was primarily looking for ... | |
| Review: Arcam Alpha 8 cd CD Player Rackon, thanks for the helpful suggestions.Since writing this review, I have upgaded the power cord and interconnects to Kimber PowerKord and Kimber KC-1. I have also now added a Museatex DAC and am using the Alpha 8 as a transport. It is smooth, ... | |
| B&W 804 nautilus OR Revel f30 I found Thiel vs. Revel to be night and day different. They had completely different character. I would compare Thiel to ProAc. The Revels are dynamic and controlled. They put out whatever you feed them. You will be able to hear big differences wi... | |
| Revel F30 and M20 I have the F30's in a wide, narrow room in my townhouse. The room size is 30 feet wide by 12 feet deep. I cannot place the speakers at the end of the room like I would want. The speakers are about 2 feet from the wall and toe'd in. This is the bes... | |
| Review: Audible Illusions Modulus 2D Tube preamp Ernie,I bought the cord from you... I'm the guy in Durham, NC. The cables have just started to sound broken in. I've had the system running for 3 weeks solid now. The imaging is tighter, music is a little more 3-D, better midrange, more accurate b... |
