Revel Speakers

Uuhhm .... be careful. that sub may crack the foundation of you house. One reviewer called the Signature Sub 2 the "MOAS" (Mother of all Subs). I guess that makes Sub 1 the "SOAS" (Son of all Subs). :)

I have an earlier generation Signature Servo sub. The nice thing about the upper tier Paradigm subs like those just mentioned is that they can be adjusted for phase alignment, loudness and cut-off frequency. The more recent versions like MOAS and SOAS use a computer and mic based sound equalization system to adjust bass at the listening spot.

Don't know how much of an assist the Studios need. The S8s need a little help; but less bass is definitely more.

If you go shopping and get a chance to check out the S8s, please share your reactions.

Thanks and good luck.

That has to be an exaggeration. A garbage truck next to your house won't crack the foundation, and 10 subs doesn't even get close to sound of Waste Management trucks outside your house :P

What??!! Me exaggerate. Never.

I have never heard the Revels before. There is a Revel dealer in town but unfortunately they only have their book shelf line on the floor. How would you describe the sound qualities of them? To be more specific the F208's or the 206's. You can make direct comparisons to the B&W Dseries (804), Proac (d28) or even Linn as I have given them an audition.

Ricred1,

Revels are wonderful, but if you do wish to try something different, neutral, and potentially exquisite, consider trying to nab one of the few sets of Pioneer S1EX still available (perhaps NOS). Very under-appreciated, so not the easiest to resell, perhaps, but odds are that is not the path you would choose to take once you get them dialed in.
