i agree with ejlif--the revels are notoriously power hungry. you'll likely need a more powerful amp, but i would absolutely check it out at the dealer's first--power ratings are frequently deceiving.
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?
