Stand Alone Super Tweeter for Revel F208?

Sorry, but I don’t understand adding a super tweeter. Did Revel not design the speaker properly? Does the speaker need some type of repair? Is there something wrong elsewhere in the system or room?

It’s like trying to add another wheel to a dually truck to get more traction.

Ah yes the splashy impressive metal dome that sells well because it sounds like hi-fi - sounds impressive, a great show and distraction but nothing like real music.

Try a tube pre-amp with old European tubes to add sparkle. The Revel F208 is the better speaker.

I have an Audible Illusions L2 tube pre now. You are correct. The Revels are more natural. They do everything. I guess I'm looking for high end that is not strident but detailed and midrange that is sort of polite and doesn't hurt when you turn it up. My cousins B&W 802D2 has a midrange and high end I like. I have tried so many speakers. KEF LS50, Tannoy XT8F and XT6F, Spatial M3, Golden Ear Triton 2, Dynaudio Contour S3.4, Totem Hawk, Gallo 3.5. Frustrating.

You can try a Schiit Loki and crank up the 8K Hz band and see if it gives you what you need...

@honashagen have you considered that the room may be the issue? Treating the room with for example a set of SR HFTs may give you not only control of the room but also an ability to tune the high frequencies to suit your taste. For example in my room adding or removing one HFT at ear level front and center has a major impact on specificity and level of high frequencies (this is even true for removing one ball on the Vibratron but the SR ART system is much more expensive)

My point is that you need to consider how the speakers and room interact and by adjustng this may be able to tailor the sound to suit your preferences
