Revel F328Be's Have Arrived! / Contradicting Specs?
"...one of the best available speakers..." They're made in China.  Does anyone think they're worth $16K? 
Revel F328Be's Have Arrived! / Contradicting Specs?
Sorry, there are some plots on the audio science threads under revel 328Be.  I'm just an listener, I don't have testing equipment.They replaced 25-year old Cambridge Soundworks tower 1's (cost in 1996 was about $1K).  The bass was phenomenal.https...

How to accurately gauge speaker sensitivity to match with tube amp?
I recently purchased a pair of floor-standing Revel 328s (sensitivity 91dB, recommended power 50-300W).  I'm driving them with a Raven Nighthawk tube amp (20 wpc, high current IA).  Question: Am I harming the speakers by underpowering them?
