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.
@ronboco, @audioman58 Yes, Rockport Atria. This was one of the first rooms I went into on my first trip to AXPONA a couple years ago. It was a memorable experience that I have not forgotten. Pricey though, and not too many on the used market. @bojack I tend to agree with you. They check some boxes, but probably too much of a good thing for a small room. The QLN 3’s are a wonderful two way speaker, but I need just a little more in that mid-bass region, hence the search. |
@oddiofyl Thanks for the comment on Studio Electric. What size room do you have? Do they play well at lower volumes? |
I have the M4 in about a 12x 14 room They have great bass and they mesh well with the 10” REL sub I have them paired with. I have a pair of Forte IV in my main room which is a little bigger. I have been thinking about the M5 for that room but I would have to change out amps and I don’t know if I want to go that route
