| Revel ultima 2 salon owners biwire or not I have Revel F-52 and bi wire was a big improvement. It increased clarity and cohesion. | |
| Speaker footers – Ugh I use Home depot Back yard patio blocks 2" thick and 10" wide by 18" deep and the Spikes that came with my Revel F52's over a hard wood floor. I also tilted the block and I have the best sound I ever had with these speakers with this combination | |
| Is my room too small No - My room is 10' 4" x 16' and well treated, I have speakers out 58" from front wall and sit 9' away.I had the VR4 Jrs and coudlnt stand them, sold them in 2 weeks. I used a Pass X250 amp and VPI Super scout master as my equipment. They just nev... | |
| Are Harbeth S HL5's As Good As Reviewers Claim? I herd them at a friends house hooked up to Oddysey Statos Extreem amps and a Wadia CD player. I was not impressed. They did sound muddy and lack of air I owned Spendor SP1/2e and thought they were much better | |

| Klipsch LaScallas vs Klipsch Cornwalls? I have owned both, Cornwall is much better for Home use. | |
| Kimber 8tc w/ Mark Levinson 23.5 and Revel F52 I own the F52 and have a Pass X250 amp. I originally had the TC8 and then did the tube mod on it and still thought it was holding back my system. On a whim I went to radio shack and bought the Mega cable 50 feet for $25 and made 4 equal lengths. I... | |
| Maggie MMG buy a pr of Klipsch Heresy's used for $500 and use your sub..They are much better than people think and you can easily improve them by damping the horns or upgrading the crosover | |
| Can Frequency Sweeps Damage Speakers? The way you do it, is start with the 1k and get the volume at 80 to 85 db as a reference then keep it at that level and check all the other frequencies | |
| The Harbeth phenomenon I have a friend that had HL5's with a good front end. I was not impressed. especially for the price. They sounded lifeless to me in his room. For the sake of friendship I sd nothing. I have owned Spendor SP1/2e and found them to be an excellent sp... | |
| McIntosh XR-7 setup with MQ-104? On the cheep, go get a $50 Radioshack analyzer and a Test tone cd. Start with the 1K tone and set the volume for 85 db. Then do a reading at each octive at the same volume then put numbers on a graph and then adjust the 104 as needed | |
| Very interesting radio shack vs. audioquest I have just been a Radio Shack Mega cable convert. These replaced Modded Kimber 8tc and Elco Silver for my Revel F52's. I have one word to say CLARITY. These cables openend my speakers up from top to bottom. Crystal clear highs and cymbal. Bass th... | |
| maggie 1.6qr Just out of curiosity, tell us about the sound in the small room. I have a 10.5 x 18 well treated foot room and want to try the 1.6's in their | |
| 802d for a 10x13 room, 8ft ceiling - am I nuts? I agree about not getting all I can out of my speakers in my small room, but I cant reproduce with monitors and sub, what I'm getting from my revel F52's. I tried. The monititos/sub gave ame a little better midrange, but no where near the soundsta... | |
| 802d for a 10x13 room, 8ft ceiling - am I nuts? I have a 10.5' x 18' with Revel F52's. It took a lot of work. But I have the best sound I have ever had before. It took 6 panels and a home made Bass trap. An investment of about $400 made the room listenable. So if those are the speakers you want... |
