Anyone have issues with Revel Performa speakers

I had F208's with a Rotel RB-1090 for lows and Exposure 3010 S2 monoblocks for the upper. No issues whatsoever with playing loud. 

The woofer and tweeter show driver compression at modest volumes 90dB SPL which is unfortunately not uncommon in many designs see link

The tweeter works a little harder in this design (a possible risk) than others as it is crossed over at 2200 Hz but this low crossover probably contributes to the great even sound dispersion and driver integration.

Note Soundstage normally include linearity measurements at 95 dB SPL - the fact they have not provided them suggests the speaker starts to stress severely at these still modest loud levels.

Looking at this design versus the Monitor 11 - these designs are both very similar - both have crossover around 2200 Hz.

If they played well for two weeks and the speakers are new it does suggest you pushed them more than the modest levels they can handle. If you like dynamics and loud clean sound then buying bigger amplifiers is not the solution - a more heavy duty speaker with pro type drivers (rather than consumer grade) might be the best direction to go.

The F206 is an excellent speaker but you may be pushing them harder than they are designed for.

Shadorne thanks for your input. Good info but maybe not great news, these sound great but I do like to play pretty loud at times. I'm second guessing not going with Paradigm Prestige 85f's.
