| Best loudspeaker with coincident/coaxial driver This thread is a subject matter that I have been investigating for about 5 years now.I owned the Revel Salon 1 for 5 years and liked it a lot but did not love it.

| Help me decide Revel or Focal I thought I read somewhere that a new Revel Salon was going to be released near the New Year.I heard the Focal Sopra at the Newport Show and liked it quite a bit. I used to own the Revel Salon1 and loved the bass on that speaker. However, I prefer... | |

| bryston 28bsst2 / mag's 3.7 Take a look at the BAT VK-43SE SS preamp. I have used the Bat VK-42SE (previous model) with many Bryston amps (up to 7B-SST) and it was a great match. I love the BAT pre-amp. I used to own the Bryson BP25 but that was a very long time ago and nowh... | |
