srms Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 (edited) SOLD Item Condition: Excellent Shipping Options: Pickup available but audition is not available.,Shipping is available at agreed cost. Suburb or Town: Myrtleford State: VIC Payment Method: Paypal + Fee, EFT, Cash Reason for selling: Need smaller speakers in the listening room Further information: Note that the Revels are rarely available S/H as people won't part with them. New ones here I have owned these for around 8 years (purchased S/H from a chap in QLD) and have really enjoyed them with a variety of electronics. Most of the time was a Krell FPB 600 and Aesthetix Janus preamp + other front end gear. Also worked really well with Ayre MX-R power amps and the same Pre. Vitus RI-300 Ok but overblown in the bass and just lacked something. The only reason I am looking at changing speakers is that most of the time, I have to live in a flat for work and the room is much smaller than the room I had setup in my home. I really haven't found many other speakers that (for me) sound better and that includes gear that is much more expensive. I have included a close up of the discolouration on one bass driver for full disclosure. The has been has always been like this and of course has no effect on the driver. There are no marks on the speakers the lighting the room caused a lot of reflection on the speaker surface (I'm no photographer!) I do have all of the original boxes and packing and the grills (never used), but some parts of the boxes got damp when stored and were damaged. I have patched these up well enough for moving them (not an easy feat!) I should be able to deliver these to Melbourne (subject to work commitments and borrowing a mates van to put them in) I have linked reviews below and there are is plenty of information on the net.

Darren69 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Looked for a pair of these a few years back but came up empty handed for the reasons described, just too popular and went with my big JBL's, absolute bargain here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willco Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Yes amazing for these!--I compared the Salon 2's using my own "test CD" at a US show with equivalent priced Magico's, YG's, Nolas --and this model gazumped all those --period! Seriously impressive and a true Hi End speaker--$13K?--thats a joke pricing!! They would wipe 90% of the speakers on sale here. Willco 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emulator Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Serious question, do you need to leave the door open at the back to connect the speaker cables, or can it be removed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psychometrics1 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 If I only had a bit more room I would love to have these. Sounds as though they would work well with the Krell FBI. GLWTS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 (edited) You said they were too big, so would you be interested in trading for something smaller....say, a kidney perhaps? GLWTS!

Depends on the cables, the is a large slot for the cable to exit the base, or you can just remove the door unless you have need to cover the terminals. 27 minutes ago, Flash said: You said they were too big, so would you be interested in trading for something smaller....say, a kidney perhaps? GLWTS! Yes I know you said no trades, but.... Maybe a pair of new knees? Mine are past due for replacement! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
