Help me decide – Revel or Focal
While there are a lot of posts stating revel speakers need a lot of ss power to come alive there's more to it than that. The f208 is a world beater at the price it can be had for, but compared to the performa 2 series the f208 were less analytical... 
Hegel H-160 or Parasound Halo Integrated
So I just returned the hegel rost int, My system is 2005 ultima salon driven by a parasound a21 with a krell kav 300 il serving as a preamp since it sounded amazing when both amp and pre worked. I used a rega jupiter with a coax out to the rost in... 
Hegel H20 vs. PS Audio BHK Signature 250 Stereo
So jc1 by parasound or a Hegel h20 or h360? considering the speakers wouldn't need the 400+watts of the parasounds? I'm currently listening to some ultima salon v1 speakers and really liked what the h360 sounded like with them but have no way to a... 
Revel Salon 1 vs Salon 2
BUMP, I have the salon v1 and am pretty sure i'm not getting close to the capabilities of these speakers and unless a buyer has equal parts money to upgrade electronics like the other gentleman stated sometimes room treatments would make a bigger ... 
Revel Salon 1 or-Revel Studio 2??
The question was Salon 1 or Studio 2! Salon 1 or STUDIO 2.  
Kef 207/2 ---Kef Blades
thanks for the post, hard to believe it can get better than the 207/2 and I wonder if comparable electronics will yield the same results?  
parasound a21 vs anthem a2 amps
wow, nobody 7 years later! I believe the A21 is a couple grand less so that's the way I went. I still believe system matching is the best bet. 
Parasound Halo jc1 or a21
thanks for the comparisons as i've been enjoying the a21 and don't come close to using all the power they deliver. I have demoed gear that made my system sound better and figured the price for the monoblocks had to be justified by better sound oth... 
Parasound A21 In Mono vs. Parasound JC1's
for you guys that have heard both besides watts what makes the jc1 better? more transparent? more musical? better focus? My salons sound pretty good with the A21 amp but I know i'll hear every upgrade. unfortunately it's impossible to audition sid... 
Parasound A21
DHL tell me more! I'm using an A21 to drive my salons and I don't come close to clipping but with these speakers I have noticed they reveal difference in amplification and I would appreciate someone with experience with both describing the differe... 
Is the Hegel H-20 better than the Parasound A-21?
So anybody still looking at saving money between the hegel brand and parasound really needs to listen to both in their system as my previous post stated I demoed a hegel last week and there were many variables since i also used the dac, but demoin... 
Hegel H-160 or Parasound Halo Integrated
BUMP, Anybody who thinks all watts sound the same being vube or class a,a-b, d whatever needs to listen to hegel> I just had the H 360 in my system, I pulled my anthem 225I out and the midrange came alive. At triple the list price you hear the ... 
Is the Hegel H-20 better than the Parasound A-21?
listening to the H 360 drive a pair of Revel ultima salon 1's using my rega jupiter digital coax  output to the H360 on board dac and find the music very involving. I bought an Anthem 225I after my 300il baked, just a bridge while finding a qualit... 
old revels vs new revels
bump, salon is full range v1 or v2. The f32 just might be voiced to go deeper than the studio 2 but the newer ultimas are more particular to source equipment. I just bought a pair of salon v1 and sold my f52 in favor of the salons, reason? my affo... 
Class D amps and Revel Salons
just an edit for anyone considering the Revel F52's or the Anthem 225I I wouldn't want anyone to get a negative idea from my post for either piece of gear as i've gotten great sound from both pieces connected to other equipment and even paired to ...
