Revel f12 owners....


Just curious what others auditioned before taking the plunge...I was impressed with what I heard...I ultimately went with another Harmon product...Infinity Primus 360/362 tower...very similar configuration/ construction to f12s...anybody done an informal comparison?...

MMG's probably wouldn't sound too good on classic rock, I Have a pair of Infinity IRS epsilons and they sound incredible on the best recordings but when I want to listen to classic rock I turn to my revels.
Revels are unique at their price point as the have no glaring weaknesses...and excel in many areas...they also cover a wide frequency range and don't require a sub or stands...outstanding value...Primus has same principles but executed through Chinese production to reduce cost...although I believe the F series is made in Mexico...still they are a lot of speaker for the money...I still have my Interlude 30s which are far more attractive than the Primus but not nearly as musical...there is something going on with P36x series that really make unique...one of the better Infinity products in the last decade IMHO
I have owned infinity speakers since 2002. I had a 7.2 system with Primus 360 towers all the way around. Then I upgraded to the Alpha 50 towers (4), Alpha 20 (4), and eventually the 25es surround (2). I continued to evolve into the Beta series. Beta 50 (2) and matching center, dipoles and subs for 7.2. I sell high end audio and my 7.2 system puts to shame anything matching its original retail price and will outperform any speaker I've heard double its price. I have always wanted the Revel F12s. I finely found a mint used pair locally and brought them home last night. They are different from the Betas. Betas are more forward, have greater transparency, better attack, but also tend to be bright, and are lean in the mids. The f12s are full in the mids, softer on top and less fatiguing. This is arguably a formula for a very musical speaker, where the betas may prove to be better for cinema. It really comes doen to personal preference. I am extremely familiar with the betas. I have mated numerous amps, preamps and high end cables to them. I am still getting to know the Revel f12s and look forward to many hours of doing the same. 
Many people in threads don't believe there are any differences between these two speakers internally. There are, and I've got pictures to prove it. The drivers inside the Revels are much more substantial. So there a way to post pics? Is so I will attach. 
Minimus, Mr. C, 

I thank you for selling me the Revel Concerta F12s you referenced in your post above some 5 years ago. There was a time the Infinity Primus 250 was my tower, upgraded to a P363 soon after. An amazing value, very neutral, just like the measurements say. There's always a bigger, bolder speaker...and the F12 became that speaker for me.

I used it in a theater setup, then a few years ago they got put into 2 channel duty. The whole time, a DIY PC with a Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium HD has been the source feeding a Marantz SR7500. I always was satisfied.

Recently decided to try an external USB DAC for giggles, since it is a 2 channel rig now, no need for surround decoding of a sound card...

...wow. Speakers really came to life with a glorious sounding nuForce µDAC 2 I used to run with headphones.

Thanks again Minimus; hope life sees you well.
