Revel Speakers

Bruce,

I will look into the Paradigms. Funny thing is I may just add a Paradigm Signature sub 1 and call it a day.

Chrissain,

Thanks for your response. I like the F-52 because of their warmth and they provide enough detail without being bright or forward. Do you think the Ultima series is more forward? I'm really thinking about just going to Salon 2s.

I've talked to a couple people that prefer F52s over F208s. It's my understanding that the F208s are a little more detailed, but the soundstage isn't as good...I'm trying to find a dealer close enough to me to let my own ears decide.

Prior to the F52s I had Wilson Sashas. I thought I wanted to get away from music and sold my entire system. After a couple of months I missed it and decided to purchase modest gear that included the Revel F52s. To my surprise my current system has been the most enjoyable to date. Now I'm looking for something that is neutral, but a little less colored than the F52s and I don't want to spend 20K. I love the fact that I can listen to the F52s all day without fatigue.

Egrady,

I've owned many, many speakers to include Sophia 2s, 3s, and Sashas. In the context of the system I had the Sasha's in they were forward. As a matter of fact I've listened to many speakers over the years and Revels seem to have the right mix of being detailed without too much coloration. I'm not suggesting for one minute that Revels are better than Wilsons. Revels are different and after many years I know I found my preference. Now the question is will moving up to F208s, Studio 2s, or Salon 2s reduce the coloration and still maintain musicality? The other option is adding a sub and better electronics for the F52s.

I'm trying to find a dealer that has F208s and Studio 2s. I would like to hear how they compare to each other. I'm 100% sure I will get either the F208s or Studio 2s, unless I get a super deal on Salon 2s.
