They sound very good at low and normal volumes. They do like power though. I had a 40 watt amp drivin them at first and ended up painting them with a 100 watt amp.
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.

Thanks @oddiofyl. I will give him a call this week and get his take. I know that the M4’s are probably the better choice, but I want my three way and no sub, dang it. My amp should cover it, I have had some current hungry speakers and it does well. @g2the2nd Thanks, I have heard of those, but will take a closer look. |
@zlone avoid the Chesky. they're mediocre speakers that are frankly an insult. one can DIY better than those speakers. |
The entry level Rock ports are $38k You can pick them up for $18 k and have a end game speaker This is what I may do , the next model up is 250 lbs for me that's a 2 man job A great under the radar speaker they don't advertise like Magico , wilson, or yg acoustics , European speakers like Marten Mbl are getting just too expensive u.s made at least I can get them Serviced if need be . |
