Revel Salon vs Vandersteen 5A

No it means it has no warmth, accurate is good for some but cold and sterile to many others. You can also have accurate with warmth its all in how somebody voices a speakers I suppose.
I think the Revels sounded forward or harsh in midrange so maybe we heard same thing but worded it differently its not offensive but its there all the same.
All in all I think its looking pretty obvious the 5A is the one to get!

Irvrobinson,

Don't underestimate the power of a good time/phase coherent design. Ever heard any GMA speakers?

So... Here's a question.
How many of you guys have really enjoyed a speaker that sounded amazing to you but on paper had poor measurements? Freq response, etc.

Piling on: I bought the 5A's (powered by Ayre) less than a year ago and haven't looked back. As stated above, the ability to tailor bass response to your room and the powered subs letting your amp focus on mid- and high-frequency response are major advantages of the 5a design.

Happy listening!

Why not just enjoy a speaker that sounds AND measures good? You can have it all with the 5A.
