Anyone have issues with Revel Performa speakers

Hey 4425, I can't imagine the level I was at was clipping the Rotel but could possibly be just a bad tweeter , like a bad part just one in a thousand?? 
I've pushed that combo before with the Paradigms about 10db or more higher and never an issue. Didn't sounded at all distorted but maybe hard to hear if it was. System has always played clear as a bell when played really loud before. 
Thanks for your feedback, the Revels do sound really good. I hope no more issues.

I looked at measurenents for Paradigm 95F Prestige

I could not not find anything for the 85F but the design is similar.

Tweeter is crossed over at 2KHz - so this little 1 inch dome is working very hard indeed. However the most concerning thing is the breakup of the mid range woofer at just below 2KHz.

Just look at how the linearity changes as you increase SPL - the mid range actually increases in output as the cone breaks up or resonates.

This is quite simply a poor design for playing loud as the design falls apart but as I mentioned this is not actually uncommon and I bet it sounds totally sublime at ordinary levels.

I am not sure where you are but try to audition ATC, PMC, Quested or any of the more traditional pro three way designs with a 3" or 4" mid range and a 15" woofer. Alternatively try a horn loaded type design like a Tannoy concentric (again with 15" woofer.)

If you like to play loud then nothing beats a tradional design (like JBL 4425 or large Westlake) with high bass output and reflex port designed for efficiency rather then bass extension (bass extension from reflex porting sounds resonant and can easily get out of hand at elevated levels).

Personally I wouldn't do anything until I spoke with Revel and replaced the tweeter. I've been at this many moons and believe that I can almost guarantee that if it failed as described you were the unfortunate recipient of a rare bad tweeter. Dont even consider changing speakers until you sort it... plus you couldn't resell them. Call revel

Hi 4425. Thanks. I have already spoken with the local dealer I purchased from and he's having me shipped a new tweeter, he says he hasn't seen this before and thought maybe it was from amp being clipped which I can't believe it was at about 95db or less. I'm hoping this and getting the Mark Levinson 532H amp with more power/headroom and built in clipping control circuitry will solve and even sound better, I know the Levinson is a much better amp and probably used to voice the Revels as both owned by Harman. I really appreciate your great & positive response and feedback!

What music was playing when the tweeter blew? Analog? Digital? I had an experience with an Ace of Base CD. At one point in the "All That She Wants" song, there is an "amplitude spike" which is so bad it sounds exactly like someone slamming a sliding patio door as hard as they can -kind of scary! I don't know if this is intentional or some kind of manufacturing defect but it was real. maybe you have some bad software...
