Be careful. Even if you like the sound of the demos, remember that Revels take several hundred hours to break in! So, the new ones will sound like crap for a while. After that, they will be clean and sweet.
Hot for Revel F30... Will my amp do/ or be doodoo?
Looked at the Revel F30 today at a local dealer. Interested.
Want to dump my 20 year old Infinity IIa's. Curious the Revels are 3,500 ... just about the retail of the Infinity, 20 years back.
I have a Forte' 4a amp. A 50 watt per channel baby. It can pump out a surprising amount of amperage for 50 watts a side. Just curious if any comments about using this amp with the Revel? (I can barely afford the speakers, so a new amp to go with the new speakers is out of the question.
(at least the dealer will loan me the demo pair, (paid in full of course) to see if I like them ('prolly 30 days) and if I do, I can order the finish I want and swap 'em the demos back for my new speakers, or just return the demos and get my 100 cash back.... cool.
My other stuff:
Adcom preamp (the good one)
Sony SCD777ES
Kimber silver cables
Audioquest Midnight speaker cable (bi cabled: 2 cables each side... I got the second set dirt cheap when they closed 'em out)
Monster 500 line conditioner
Some (a few) Zucable powercords
A bunch of non-primary signal path junk (CD,DA's etc)
