Revel Studio Discussion- Everything Studio Here

Nothing useful. Just reinstalled the Revel Studios in the system as the (unnamed) review speakers are moved out to the MCH system. Lovely! Over the years, I have swapped the Studios in and out as others were auditioned and I am always gratified when the Studios return.

Kal,

Did you do a comparison of studio and salon? I currently own the Studios but wonder if the Salon is much better. My listening area is about 16 x 25 which I think mght be too small for the salons.

Do you think Revel will ever upgrade the drivers in the Studios?

The Revel Studio is on my short list of speakers that I want to audition to decide what to pair a SImaudio P-5/W-5/Nova with. I hope to listen to Dynaudio Confidence C2, Contour S5.4, Wilson Audio Sophia, JMlab Alto Be, Diva Be, VR 4jr, and Verity Parsifal Encore as potential speakers. The room is roughly 23 by 13 with 9 foot ceiling. I listen to mainly alternative rock, alt.country, rock. I like to listen to stuff loud.

Any personal experience using the Moon W-5 with the Studios ? Any regrets or is this a must audition combo ??? Unfortunately, this will mean travelling, as I don't have a Revel dealer for 1000 miles or so.

I have never had the Salons in my listening room although I have been impressed with them at other sites.

Part of my decision not to try the Salons is the visual factor since my stereo listening area is also my living room. This space is 15x26 with open continuity to a large foyer and a dining room.

As for upgrades, I assume this is inevitable but I do not hear it as a pressing issue.

The Moon W-5 is a nice match even though I prefer the SF Line3 in my particular setup.
