Hey Phil - Brian here. I have heard the M20's in two locations and liked them both times. There is a dealer an hour from us in Grand Haven.
What to expect: Revel Performa M20 from Mag. 1.6QR
I own Magnepan 1.6QR's and am thinking of going to the (well reviewed) Revel Performa M20. I am looking for more clarity and dynamics.
I know I have to listen for myself but it is a 2 hour drive to do that. My Rogue 120's do not have enough power for the 1.6's and the M20's are a little more efficient and I hear you really do not need a subwoofer for most music. If I could get away from the Monoliths (I mean Maggies)that would be a good thing too. They seem a little veiled and lifeless, I miss not having the extreme high frequencies too.
Am I on the right road here or should I try a high powered solid state amp and give the Maggies another chance?
I have all Nordost Blue Heaven wire, Rogue electronics and Rega CD 2000. I listen to all types of music, loudly sometimes.
thank you for all responses
Phil
