If you have a receiver or pre-pro with room correction the back panel becomes irrelevant. That's why Revel has dropped all EQ from the newest subs. I now never use the EQ on my B15 after an upgraded pre-pro.
Looking for revel b15a - do i wait for new revel
I presently have F32 fronts, C32 center and S32 rears. I'm running it with the high end denon receiver. Seems to sound fine but really want to add subwoofer - I really want the b15a sub but they seem hard to find. Do I wait for the new revel sub instead of the b15a? I really think that I would be more than happy with the b15a and would rather buy it used to save the money than buying new. Any thoughts or opinions? Does anyone have any ideas of a source where I could locate one?
Your feedback would be appreciated. Tks!

Dropped all EQ from their newest subs? Tain't so. See this from CES: http://www.stereophile.com/content/revel%E2%80%99s-new-rhythm-2 |
Clarification: I was talking about the back panel proper with the manual EQ dials that used to be there. EQ is now outboard and is not the 3-band (manual) parametric EQ. Thanks for the clarification Kal! After doing it old school for years with the Revel CD, meters, and software, it's a nice thing to have all that stuff automated without manual dials. |
I had heard an interview with Kevin Voecks last year (don't recall if it was from 2011, but I think so) where he was on a panel discussing bass response and EQ and he was talking about sub design. He spoke incredibly favorably about EQ in the lower frequencies as well as taking advantage of the bass boost you get with room boundaries. It doesn't necessarily surprise me that Revel has standardized the same EQ across the line. This way, they have a single software platform and the end user can choose the sub that best meets their needs. Plus, I wouldn't consider any of the subs in either the Performa or Ultima line as low end. :-) |
