I don't there is a real best speaker in this category. All of the speakers you list are great. It comes down to what you like. I have the Revels and love them. I have heard the Dunlavy's and they are very good but really different from the Revels. The only way I can describe the Revels is that I have loved Thiels for years. Cystal clear wonderful group of speakers. Still like them but after I heard the Revels I was hooked. Some similar characteristics, but with a warm and more robust soundstage. I have heard them with many different amps and they held up well. Listen to all of these before buying.
Got it pared down now - Revel, Dunlavy or Genesis?
Hi:
Thanks to ALL of you for all the helpful insights in my last thread (best speakers for rock/classic rock).
I am waiting to hear from a couple of sellers, and will soon have a new pair of (used) speakers for my system. Here are my choices:
Dunlavy SC-V;
Genesis V;
Revel Ultima Studio.
I am driving them with ARC M300 mkiII tube monoblocks, a BAT VK5i w/ NOS Siemens Falcon 6922s/TungSol 5881s and a (soon to be purchased) Cary 306/200. I listen VERY LOUDLY in a BIG room with glass along half of one wall, berber carpeting and high, sloping ceiling.
So...any comments, likes/dislikes regarding the speakers above in this application?
Thanks (again) - Jeff
