Looking for revel b15a - do i wait for new revel

I have owned my B15 for almost a year and could not be happier. In the last 14 months or so, I bought a pair of Paradigm Servo 15a's, a Sunfire True Subwoofer Signature and a Revel B15. Let's put it this way, I no longer own the Servo 15a's or the Sunfire even though they are great performers. The B15 is just in another league.

There is a cherry Revel B15 for sale here on Audiogon.

The Revel B15 and B15a subwoofers are, hands down stunningly spectacular subs. If you can pickup a used one, by all means, they are worth every penny. I own a B15 and can tell you that I have never, ever been itching to upgrade that sub.

The new Revels subs that are forthcoming are going to be up there as far as pricing and will top out at $10,000 with the Rhythm 2 that pairs with the Ultima2 Line. I believe that that model that would be on line with the former B15 series will be starting at around $4,000. Given that you can likely get a used B15 or 15a for somewhere around $1,500 at the low end to $2,500 you are probably going to get more 'value' used at this point.

It certainly appears that the new Revel subs have really taken things yet again to a new level; so as anything in the audiophile realm, you will need to put a value tag on all that to see what makes sense to you personally.

I have the F32,C32 & M22 in my system and am using a Velodyne DD12. I have been very happy with the integration with the Revels. I originally had a Paradigm Servo 15, and I feel the flexibility of the DD series gives me the HT as well as musical needs for my ears. But the dealer had the B15 and I was very impressed with it as well. He used it for a few years, but I think he sold it. He may still have it, audioalternative.com, it might be worth an e-mail or a phone call.
