I listened to a lot of speakers when upgrading mine this past year. Spent a lot of years in the industry. Bottom line, Revel F206 + good sub like a JL Audio E-110 or better, is simply FANTASTIC. Most experienced listeners realize that virtually no speaker under $10K/pr can do the bottom octave of bass really well, so the F206 + the E-110 is an INCREDIBLE value for well under $5k. I have experimented with a crossover point and find that 60hz to 80hz is the sweet spot for smooth seamless transition into that bottom octave! I'm done! I have a broad smile each and every time I listen to this combo.
Paradigm and Revel
This is my first post. A buddy told me about Audiogon, what a great place. Ok, so I would like to upgrade my speakers. While on vacation I had the chance to hear the Paradigm 85f in one location and the Revel f206 in another location. I like both, prices are similar and size is similar . I have a REL t7 sub to go with either of these. Don' t think I can go wrong with either. This will be for music,not movies. So a 2.1 at best. Music preference is jazz, jazz vocal, some soft rock and whatever when the kids are home. Any ideas or opinions would be great. Thankx in advance.
