| what speakers to buy I have recently heard the Revel Performa F208 with a tube preamp and a solid state amp and they sounded very very good, I purchased to F206s as I have a 12 x14 room and they sound great , very detailed and smooth, not at all forward or bright. I'm... | |
| Paradigm speakers 4425, After more and more listening I think you are correct, Revel much smoother, more cohesive sound and more life like to actual voicing. I had Paradigm Monitor 11 and for the money they sounded great, seems Prestige is not as cohesive though be... | |
| Paradigm speakers James, pretty close the2 you had. I'm assuming the build quality is equal ( both seems very well made) and is the reliability the same between Revel and Paradigm? | |
| Paradigm speakers Thanks mmeysarosh. I like the Revels overall sound although Paradigms certainly good, it's the lower sensitivity of the Revels that keeps them from being "jamming out" without strain compared to the Paradigms love to be played loud and seem to wak... | |
| Paradigm speakers Oh and I forgot my main question with all the bantering. If you have experience with both Paradigm Prestige and Revel Performa 3 series mainly F85 and Performa F206 over the long term and after break in is there much difference, I guess it's proba... | |
| Paradigm speakers Is anybody going to answer the question about break in time and not playing too loudly out of the box, can you hurt them until broke in given same playing levels before/after break in using a great Mark Levinson amp and no clipping. I know clippin... | |
| Paradigm speakers I'm running an Anthem MRX 510 receiver as preamp with Mark Levinson 532h amplifier and Oppo BDP105D as cd and music player, so my electronics are pretty good to excellent for refinement and sound quality. James_w514 what speakers you currently using? | |
| Paradigm speakers Audiotroy, What is your take on Prestige 85F ? How much break in time before the slight graininess and bright/forward sound smooths out or goes away or is this just Paradigm sound ? I had the Monitor 11's for about 2 plus years, they sounded bette... | |
| Paradigm speakers Well my question is specifically about the Prestige 85f, versus Revel Performa 3 line or other $4=5000 range floorstanders. My opinion in listening is Revels are a little smoother and less grainy in midrange and treble but can't play as loud or as... | |
| Anyone have issues with Revel Performa speakers Thanks sti555, I hope that's all it was and I'll enjoy for many years. I got the new Levinson amp hoped up now just waiting on the new tweeter. Need to get another couple hundred hours to see how good they can really sound! | |
| Shielded power cord best used on Digital/Source or on Tube Amps? In a semi related question I just purchased a Mark Levinson 532h amp and I have a ShunyataVenom3 12 gauge power cord, should I use the Venom cord or the stock Levinson 14 gauge, which is the better and more quiet cord? | |
| Anyone have issues with Revel Performa speakers Thanks 4425 for keeping it positive, I bought the Levinson amp on Audiogon for less than half retail just over 1 year old, so not a waste of money to pair with the Revels or any other good quality floorstander.Too bad everyone else can't keep it p... | |
| Anyone have issues with Revel Performa speakers Normally I don't go that loud just certain parts or peaks in heavy rock like Rush or Pink Floyd, very seldom that high. I used an SPL meter to measure difference between the two to gauge the difference in sensitivity. I was probably actually aroun... | |
| Anyone have issues with Revel Performa speakers It was digital files but through analog out of Oppo. | |
| Anyone have issues with Revel Performa speakers I was playing a Prince song through Oppo BDP105D off an external hard drive which it did have a bit of a spike which I wondered about cause I think that's when it went. Song was Diamonds and Pearl's which has some strong horns at certain points. |
