| Revel Tweet Break-in after repairs My dealer is no longer in business and was also out of state. Speaker was purchased from an Arizona dealer and I am in California now. I tried to contact 2 local dealers on Revel's recomendations. One refused to look at it while the other was goin... | |
| Mod for Sony SCD-1 or Different Player? "There really is no comparison. The VSEI mod just kills the stock sound." I could not agree more. I did the level 4.5 VSEI mod (2 months ago) and the player is at another level. I actually ended up buying 15 more SACD's immediately after I heard t... | |
| Alternatives to Revel Studios? I have the Revel Salons (10K used) in a medium sized room (15W X 22L X 8-14H) with lots of power (Bryston 7B-SST). The only speaker that I have heard that I liked more than the Salons was the Eidolon Diamonds. I really connected with these 2 speak... | |
| Revel studio + voice Best amps Bryston or Proceed Revel Salon and Bryston 7B-SST monoblocks. Great combo. I'll be keeping these 2 together for the next 20+ years (or as long as the speaker lasts). Powerful and controlled sound. I tried my old Bryston 4B-ST with the Salons and found it lacked enou... | |
| Best monoblocks around 3-4k used for revel studios I use Bryston 7B-SST with Salons (4K new last year) | |
| Recommendations discs for SACD/DVD-A trial My favourite is Pink Floyd's 3 layered Dark Side of the Moon. Redbook, 2-channel SACD, and multi-channel SACD (never heard this layer). I love the 2-channel SACD layer. | |
| Telling if Bryston pre has upgraded power supply.. I believe it was $US 300 for the power supply. If you have a very old BP-25 I think you need to upgrade the electronics to use the new PS. I think that costs $US 1000. In my situation I had purchased my pre-amp new about 4 years ago so I had the l... | |
| Telling if Bryston pre has upgraded power supply.. This new power supply is a fanastic upgrade (I had old pre-PS before). It made my system sound so much more alive and open. I hear more detail in my tunes. My BP-25 used to be the weakest link in my system, but not anymore. | |
| Amp with Revel Ultima Studio or Salon I use Bryston 7B-SST with Salons. I auditioned the ML 436 with the Salons but liked the Bryston better. I like to listen to music loud and for extended listen sessions. I found the Bryston not only provided me with an extremely high quality sound ... | |
| Revel Studios- amplfier suggestions please I have a feeling many people would disagree with my choice of amplication for my Salons but I am totally content with my Bryston 7B-SST monblocks and the Bryston BP25 pre (especially with the new pre power supply, MPS-1). I plug my amps directly i... | |
| Pass Labs vs Bryston BP25 Have not heard the Pass Labs XI but I have heard the BP25 with the old power supply and now with the new power supply (MPS-1 I think). The new power supply has made significant improvements in the BP25. I can hear more detail in my music. The prea... | |
| Bryston or Classe for NHT 3.3 I had Bryston 3b-st and then 4b-st with NHT 2.5 then 2.9 for about 5 years. At one point I even bi-amped the 2.9 speakers. Which in retrospect seemed a waste of time. The sound with this combination was a little bright and fatiguing for my tastes.... | |
| Hours sitting around just listening to music? 6-10 hours a week exactly on the sweet spot. | |
| Revel Studio or Revel Salon? I heard these speakers one day and wanted to buy them on the spot. Ended up buying the Salons used here in Audiogon for 10K. Best purchase I ever made. This is after a year of owning the speakers. The speakers need lots of power and quality compon... | |
| Bryston 4B St vs newer SST I have had the 3b-st with NHT-2.5, 4b-st with NHT 2.9, and 7b-sst with Revel Salons. I found the NHT and ST combos slightly fatiguing when it comes to extended periods of listening (over 6 hours a day). However, I can listen to the salon-sst combo... |
