Upgrade to my system - Speakers maybe
Here you go sunujing,

Sunujing, I know you said that the size needed to be similar to your Revels, and that they couldn’t be placed more than 3 feet out into the room. Might speakers considerably larger than the Revels be a possibility if they are designed to go up against the wall? How about if the top of the speaker was a nice friendly flat surface, instead of domed like the Revels, so that they gave you back some usable space? Duke speaker manufacturer |
You should check out Spendor. I’ve owned a few models and I always enjoyed them!! https://store.acousticsounds.com/index.cfm?get=results&searchtext=spendor |
It's like asking which condiments to put on your hot dog. Local dealers usually will allow home demos of display and used equipment if you have the means to collect...Revel products that I've owned in the past were quite vulnerable to amplifier changes and I remember when I had the salons I had an Anthem 225I that was OK, then I moved to the Parasound A21 using a 2000 era krell as a pre and bass and things went from a 3 to a 5. Then I tried products from Hegel and the H360 brought the sound up a couple more clicks. I go further to say each improvement wasn't a trade off as the case so often when swapping speakers, but upgrading the amps on my revels removed layers and each upgrade got me closer, didn't change the way the speakers sound staged, just offered more clarity. |
