Revel Studio Discussion- Everything Studio Here
Do you think Revel will ever upgrade the drivers in the Studios? 
Do you think Revel will?
How about a diamond super tweeter. How sweet would that be? 
EMC-1 Owners Spider Alert
How much for one? 
Amp for Revel Salons
I have the Pass Labs X 350 driving the Salons. This is a good match but I believe that these monsters want and need more power. I am thinking about upgrading to the X600. 
BAT pre with Pass Labs amp
I have the 50se and the X350 and the sound is amazing. I really don't think you can go wrong w/ this combo. 
Can speakers be both "big" and "accurate" ?
I heard that the Bose Wave Radio offers big sound. 
Have you ever deceived your wife-audio purchase
All the time, I told her that I paid $5000.00 for Revel Ultima Salons. $2000.00 for a BAT 50se. $800.00 for a EMC-1 up. $700.0 for a SCD-1. 1200.00 for a Pass x350 and 500.00 for Kharma Grand reference speaker cable. I lie all the time and I will ... 
Theta reliability
I had the Data II and had to have to laser replaced. This cost roughly $400.00.

And What Did You Get Your Wife For Christmas?
I purchased my wife a digital camcorder and decided that I like gifts also, so I purchased myself 2 electrglide fatmen from an auction here on audigon and I purchased a bat vk 50se. Now all I have to do is sell my bat vk-30. What a HOBBY. 
Personal amp evolution
I started off with a one box JVC wonder, Theta Dreadnaught, to my current Pass Labs X350. In the future I will upgrade to the Pass X600's. 
I just installed NOS tubes?
I purchased them from Upscale Audio for $65.00 each. Initially the sound was comparable to the stock tubes but in another 2 hours the sound began to change especially in the mid-range. More detail so far. 
Does your BAT?
Half of the PS-600 multiwave options eliminate the motorized sound and the other half exhibit this awfull noise. I was ready to jump ship and try the shunyata. Thanks for all of the advise. 
Does your BAT?
I found the problem. My BAT does not like my PS 600. When I run the vk-30 into the wall the motor sound goes away, on the other hand,thru the power plant the buzzing sound is there in full force. I am going to play around w/ some of the multiwave ... 
Anyone tried Kharma cable,suppose to be the best ?
I have the Grand Reference speaker cable and interconects. All I have to say is that Kharma is in a different league. So much more detail, air, soundstge etc...
