The F12's are really, really good speakers and they are NOT at all power hungry. My Rogue Audio Cronus 55 watt tube amplifier drives them perfectly ! The speakers are well balanced, extremely coherent, and perfectly extended at both top and bottom octaves. For less than $1500 per pair, they are pretty perfect. During my audition process which preceded my purchase, I listened to many of the $5000 per pair speakers that are highly regarded, and the Revel F12's simply sparkled and stood out from the crowd.....
Are Revel F12 speakers too much for a small room?
I'm very interested in a pair of Revel F12 speakers.
My system presently consists of a Marantz PM 7001 integrated amplifier (70Watt/Ch Into 8 ohms/100 watts/Ch Into 4 ohms), with two pairs of stacked large Advents and a Hsu subwoofer. My listening room is rather small, though-roughly 11 x 13 x 9h.
The Revels really sounded terrific at the dealer. Of course, the system at the dealer had vastly more power than I have in a fairly large room. The dealer suggested I come in with my Marantz, which I may still do, but it is a fair amount of trouble to get behind to disconnect and reconnect.
I can upgrade my system if I need more power, but my dedicated listening room is there for the duration. Are the Revels too much for the room size?
