    Do you agree that top-line Revel and B&W have very similar sound?

    I have heard the N800, N801 and N802 a few times with Krell and Mark Levinson equipment and I didn't they were bright at all. I have also heard Revel Salon and I currently own Revel Studios, Voice, Embrace, M20 and B15. Revel and B&W sounded very different to my ears. The B&W were more laidback...

    Survey: Do you believe in "overkill for HT" speakers?

    For many years I felt the same way and didn't believe that the surround speakers were all that important. For the last 2 years, I was using Mirage M3Si as rear speakers and they are excellent speakers but I recently replaced them with Revel Embrace. What a difference it made. The difference...

    any Revel users here on HTF?

    Another happy Revel owner here. My main speakers are Ultima Studios. The center is Voice and sides are Embrace. The rears are M20 and a B15 for sub. I had a pair of F30 that I used as rear speakers but they were a little too big. The front and center speakers are each driven with Krell...

    If you had the $$, would you pick up the Mark Lev. Ref. 40?

    Ricky, Here's my opinon on Classe stuff: CD players - same as Proceed Processors/DAC - same as Proceed Amps and preamps - most Classe amps are better than Proceed but not as good as Mark Levinson. So overall, Classe makes very good stuff at more reasonable prices than Mark Levinson but...

    If you had the $$, would you pick up the Mark Lev. Ref. 40?

    Ling W, My reply wasn't clear. What I meant to say was that the ML 32 will probably sound better than the No.40 in 2 channel music. Music in 2 channel has higher priority than HT for me.

    If you had the $$, would you pick up the Mark Lev. Ref. 40?

    I would get a Mark Levinson No. 32 for 2 channel music and a Lexicon MC12B for HT. The combined is still less than the ML40 and it'll probably sound better. I am sure Lexicon will have more upgrades and cheaper than Mark Levinson.

    Alon speakers? Short speaker story, need opinions.

    The owner/designer designed speakers at Dahlquist a few years ago before starting his own company. Acarian speakers are very highly regarded by Absolute Sound and Stereophile. I have heard their speakers many times at shows and they have always reproduced excellent sound. They are comparable...

    Revel M20 and B15

    Craig, Congrats on your new Revel speakers. The B15 takes awhile to break-in so you have not heard its best yet. Mine took at least 100 hours before it really started sounding good. I am still breaking in my Sycamore M20's. I have had them for 3 weeks. I am using them as part of my rear...

    Revel Studios vs Martin Logan Prodigy

    Geo, I also compared Revel Studios and ML Prodigy a couple of years ago. I ended with the Studios. I have since then listened to the Prodigy a couple times and still prefer the Studios. I think the Studios gives a bigger soundstage and better bass than the Prodigy. The Prodigy will be much...

    Best looking speakers you've ever seen

    The Sonus Faber Amati is beautiful. Another really nice one is the B&W N800 Sig. The Revel Salon has a very modern look that people either like or hate. I had consider buying the Salons but they were too big for my room. I did get its smaller sibling, the Studio in Grey/silver with aluminum...

    How does EAD theatermaster classic compare to todays pre/pro?

    Tim, The EAD Classic is an excellent unit for 2 channel but you should make sure that the DTS is compatible with DVD. When the Classic was introduced several years ago, DVD wasn't around yet so its DTS was only compatible with LD. I spoke to EAD a couple of years ago and they told me that...
