vivid is way so cool the cool will last a long time revel is just a nice speaker vivid is a classic.
Need Help - Buy Revel Studio 1s or Vivid v-1.5s?
A'goners:
I have the opportunity to spend $3800 on a pair of legacy Revel Studios or plunk down $4500 on a pair Vivid V-1.5s - both from private sales.
My dilemma:
Studios are a terrific full range floor stander with one less bass driver than the legacy Salons (me thinks...). Retailed for far more when new in their day than the Vivid Oyster 1.5s (about $7500 new). While I know that cost doesn't matter as much as how each speaker sounds to our ears, but should these two pairs even be matched toe-to-toe in the same weight class?
The Studios will have a nice balance from top to bottom but the Vivids are supposedly "life altering" from the reviews except without so much LF. Please advise. Which would you choose with my money? LOL
Thanks,
