My only beef with Revels are the break in time. They sound drastically different after 200+ hours. You may be quite disappointed with a new pair for your first 6 months.
Follow up re: suggestions for new speakers/monitor
I thank all who posted on my question, "suggestions for new speakers/monitors on 5/17. Based upon a couple of suggestions, I went out to demo some speakers. I listened to the Revel M20's and Sonus Faber concertino's.
I must say, the Revel's are hot! They sound superb! I know they would do the job of making me slowly forget my Martin Logan's in my small listening space. The Sonus Faber's were pretty nice as well, although the bass was not as present as I am searching for. However, the look and build of the Sonus Faber's were much what I am looking for in terms of aesthetics.
I have not yet had the opportunity to audition the Sonus Faber Concerto's. Wondering if any of you have experience with this model, and are willing to offer feedback on it.
At this point, I'm deciding between the Revel M20's, and the Sonus Faber's. I only listen to CD's on this system, through a Shanling tube CD player, and a Krell ss KAV300i w/ my new Chang LightSpeed. Type of music would range from classical to acoustic folk, to rock to jazz.
The listening space is approx 14x20 w/ 8' ceilings, furniture and two open walls leading to other rooms. Hardwood floors w/large area rug.
Thanks! All input appreciated!
