The Rhythm by North Creek Music Systems


Has anyone either constructed or bought this speaker kit? I have read some reviews of people who bought them, and it seems that it is an excellent bang for the buck. The Rhythm driver complements are 2 7" Scan Speak woofer and the Revelator tweeter by the same company. The array set up is D'Appolito and it is floor standing. The driver kit+cross over and other items run about $1700. Any thoughts? What other speaker used Revelator tweeters anyway? Paul

I don't own the kit, but have bought other items from North Creek, he's a good guy. Other Speakers that use the Revelator tweeter are essentially all of the PBN Montana line (systems over $50,000), most of the Nova Audio line, and the top of the line Sonus Faber Amati Homage. I own this tweeter, and feel it's the absolute best dome tweeter in existence (I've heard nearly all the others). However, the Morel MDT-33 is very close overall (is more dynamic, but barely less "liquid" IMO), and costs half what the Revelator 9900 costs. You could save about $200 if you modified the Rhythm kit to use the MDT-33, though I doubt North Creek would provide any help with what little crossover mods would be required for this. Good luck, buy the Rhythm, and get started....Carl

another speaker that uses the Revelator tweeter is the norh 7.0 and norh 9.0 ... available only factory direct. I have not heard the speakers, but they get EXCELLENT user reviews. Search for norh loudspeakers at google.com for the web site.
