| Revel Salons - Do they really sound like this? "Salons sound like a PA system? I'm outta this thread!"Hyperbole is all too common as people back their favorites.Kal | |
| Revel Salons - Do they really sound like this? In a room of those dimensions and with the described setup and listening position, toe-in is mandatory. You are sitting off axis and too much HF energy is being absorbed by the sidewall treatment. I have heard them toed-in severely, a la Blumlein,... | |
| What speakers are these? Gilbert Yeung of BlueCircle did it. He also built the preamp into a matching purse. Long story which he will happily recount. | |
| Anybody heard of GEKKO speakers? Sure and I've hear them, too. Only once, mercifully. | |

| Sound is too thin. What to upgrade, add or remove? What I see is a very hard, reflective room with very little in the way of absorbent materials. So you probably have lots of bass but too much of everything else for proper balance. I would suggest putting in wide-range absorbent panels and/or trap... | |
| McIntosh MVP851 or Denon 5900 I don't generally write lengthy articles for the website but, if you have any specific questions that I can answer about these components, ask. However, all I know is from a brief press presentation and the datakit I took home.Kal | |

| Mccormack DNA-1 Rev. B or DNA 225 I have not used a Rev.B but I found the Rev.A DNA-1 a bit warmer than the DNA225. Conversely, the DNA225 was a bit more incisive. So, it really depends on what you want/need.Kal |
