Opinions on Revel Performa F32?
Ok I'll play, I had the f52 for a while and replaced them with a pair of salon1's and I was disappointed that there was no appreciable difference with the $16k flagship speakers and tbh I liked the intimate soundstage of the performa2 better than ... 
Magicos!
I bought a pair of revel salons from a gent on the better side of town with a room similar to your dimensions and since then he went thru the salon 2's and a couple others but I think he's settled in with the paradigm persona 9h, he's had them lon...

The best speaker you ever heard?
I would love to hear Vienna acoustics 'the music'. Big wilsons in big rooms sound amazing, the raidho d1.2 in the right room but for the cost of the wilsons you could follow your favorite musicians around the world for years so. meh  
The best speaker you ever heard?
20 year old thread and while I was skipping a page here and there I didn’t see votes for the speakers that impressed me the most. Usually my favorite is the pair I just sold til my ears get used to the pair I have then within a year or so I find s... 
Looking for speaker advice-$10-20k
give us some personal priorities and room dimensions. I found speakers that excel at specific things would dictate the type of music I play. Revealing speakers would have me playing jazz all night while making my 70's rock difficult to enjoy. what... 
Does a Tube Dac make sense?
I had a CAL dac with a tube output stage 15-20 years ago when digital was harsh. Modern dac's/recordings/streaming services are so much better I don't look for tone controls anymore. 
Is Meridian dead as a product company?
BUMP:There's still a few M dealers around and the above mentioned hitchikers guide to meridian is the place for all things M. I finally bought the kit I'd been pining over for years.The new prices are to expensive(for me)but second hand are worth ... 
Speaker Upgrade Recommendation for Current Analog System - under $10,000 Budget
It's like rolling the dice. Most of the time speakers are what they are, but there's that one spot in the room that elusive spot where the bass grips you and when the bass comes rolling in like waves like waves on the beach every else just falls i...

Are you assembling a 2 channel system for music or tv? you did mention a previous soundbar. do you listen alone or use the system with a roomful?  We need more info to narrow your list. 
Intimate, warm and holographic alternative
I would use those words to describe the meridian dsp 8000se system I've been enjoying the last couple years. It is possible to have the detail and resolution without sacrificing warmth. At $80k list price tho' I would say they're not for everyone....

Speaker Upgrade Recommendation for Current Analog System - under $10,000 Budget
Hi berner99, I’m seeing lots of the harman curve, dr toole speak on many hifi forums lately and while my musical tastes have me going other directions there is a huge push for the waveguide/ wide dispersion being preffered  
Speaker Upgrade Recommendation for Current Analog System - under $10,000 Budget
I have had speakers that are exceptional when sitting in the sweet spot, but the current ‘market spin’ would have us all buy wide dispersion speakers for even room response. I listen at night to wind down and the 3D soundstage is more important to...
