Revel Studio Discussion- Everything Studio Here

Vikingboy,

I would recommend the Revel Embrace for rears especially for movie. I have a 7.1 system setup that is very similar to your setup. The main speakers are grey Studios, center is Voice, side is Embrace and rear is M20 and sub is B15. I also used a pair of F30 for the rear ar one point but it was an overkill. My processor is also an EAD but it's a modified 8000 Signature.

thank you for your feedback. I think im going to go for m20s as it will facilitate an easier move to surround music if i go down that route in the future.
Can I ask if you tried a phantom center at any time and if so, was it any good?
How do you set your studio/b15 x-over point?

thanks in adv

Vikingboy,

I have not tried using phantom center. I set the crossover at around 40-45 Hz. The Studio can go down to about mid 30's in the low end. I would suggest using the Revel cd that comes with the B15 to find the optimal crossover for your room and sub position. The B15 takes a while to break in so it might some to find the proper xover point.

Thanks sfstereo.
The phantom centre question is now mute as I ordered a matching Voice and M20s for rear duties. I have also just ordered a set of Argent Pursangs but Ric says he uses 1/4inch spades, do you know if these will fit over the studios and voice binding posts, 1/4inch sounds small to me. I'm sure my previous B&Ws were larger than that.

regards
Ian

I measured the binding post with a caliper last night and it measures 8 mm in diameter so it's a litte larger than 1/4 inch.
