I have Studios with Proceed MDT, Proceeed AVP, and Pass Labs Aleph 4 (had Levinson #331, but Pass amp sounds better). I also have an LE-1 with a pair of Revel Sub-15s. I'm using NBS cables for preamp to amp and to speakers, with Tara Labs The One digital cable from MDT. I have PS Audio P600 power plant for everything except power amp, with King Cobra PCs for AVP and MDT and NBS Monitor 0 PC for amp. I also have Revel Voice and Embraces for home theater with Proceed amps. I think my system sounds like live concerts or every bit as good as any theater.
Revel Salon/Studio Owners What setup do you use?
The purpose of this question is to explore what amps, preamps, digital, cables and ascessories that Revel Salon/Studio (or other Revel Speaker) owners use to get the best from their system.
I use the following Madrigal/Levinson equipment with mine, but I have been experimenting and am curious if better sound is available with different equipment.
Amp #336
Connected by Synergistics Kalidescope Active/Shield (A/S)
Preamp #380S
Connected by Synergistics Resolution Reference (A/S)
DAC #360s
Connected by Transparent Reference or Synergistic Digital Corridor Reference
Transport #39
Speakers Revel Salons
Biwired Synergisic Signature 10 Speaker cables (A/S)
PS Audio P-300 with Multiwave for front end
Separate Dedicated lines to the amp and front end
Auralex sound treatment panels placed on Reflection points
Tube traps
I have a narrow long room 19X11 that opens into a Kitchen/dining room which extends the rooms length by another 30 feet.
The sound is very good, but somewhat lacking in bass slam, and the imaging/soundstage seems congested. I tried a Krell KSA-250 and it really opened things up.
