My Revel Studios...They're Gone...Help?


Well, I've gone and done it - I sold my precious Revel Studios and I need guidance on replacements.

Check out my system and you'll see my Thor Audio monoblocks (60 watts). I love them. I'm not getting rid of them.

The room: 17x20x8 with speaker placement on the 17' wall.

Objective: Natural, live sound to play acoustic based music. Revealing and quick.

No budget...looking to buy used.

I am using Thor monos myself and I feel the same way. I use Kharmas ( 1.0 ) and they work very well,but I am in a large room. A couple suggestions would be Kharma 3.2 used , Merlin ( new mx )or maybe Quads ( 988 ? ). these all should work very well.....
Well, if there's really no budget, take a look at Jtinn's Kharma Exquisite Midi's.
I would check with Paul Marks at Thor Audio . The Thors are very powerful.Much more so than many think....
I'm in the same situation you are, though I am working in a price range similar to what the Studios cost, and I sold mine a year and a half ago. I'm considering stretching to Eidolons, buying another pair of Studios, or going with something in the Kharma line. I'll be using an Audio Aero Capitole MKII and Lamm M2.1 monos, and I've read many places about the synergy between Lamm and Kharma. The 3.2s certainly have some apeal, but I'm not sure I'd be satisfied with their bass extension. The 2.2s seem to me that they'd be better for me, but I'm still undecided. If only I could get the three speakers in my home at the same time to compare...
