Atalante 5's


I am still in the hunt for a new set of speakers, previously considering Vandersteen Treo's (https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/considering-vandersteen-treo), but sort of going cold on those for a few reasons. Talking to a very knowledgeable dealer today about my issues with my current QLN 3's, he strongly recommended I take a look at the Revival line, and specifically the 5's. 

Yes, much has already been said about the Atalante's on this site, but let's freshen it up. I have a few big questions:

- I am a low volume listener, 65-70dB, mostly jazz these days. How do these do at low volumes?

- Topmost is, will these overload my 12.5 x 11' room, conspicuously undersized based on Revival's recommendations.

People seem to love the sound, I would be interested to hear from some jazz listeners and low(er) volume listeners to get their impressions. 

Thanks.

I am also curious about the Studio Electric M5, they seem to be along the same lines, though they are acoustic suspension not ported.

Rockport makes some excellent speakers myself am considering ,buyused 2-4 years old and save 50+%of new and get a reference grade speaker !

I have the Studio Electric M4 and they are such a great speaker.   So good I can't believe how a small speaker can sound so big.  

I love those speakers and would like to hear the M5.   The voicing of the M4 is exactly what I was looking for and would imagine the M5 is similar.

+1 Rockport ! The Atria ii would do very well in your space. Good luck in your search!
