Stand Alone Super Tweeter for Revel F208?

@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

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.

And this, in a nutshell, is what I consider the "high end sound" which JA has promoted. As the OP has put it, it is not natural, but has "extra detail." I call it ragged frequency response with emphasis on a couple of bands at the sacrifice of others. 

I make no value judgement here, but I am saying we need to be more aware, like the OP is, that it's far from natural, and if JA would stop calling it that, I'd be happier. 

Best,

Do those HFTs work? Wow!

Yes, the HFTs work -- the SR room treatments are a very effective way of dealing with even an under-treated room but they can also be used to optimize and fine tune a well treated room (like my setup)

They're cheap (or you can even DIY, search the 'Gon) and available on 30 day money back
