$2700.00 Summary: If you've ever listened to speakers that brought tears to your eyes, you will appreciate my experience with Revel's M20 and C30.
I began my search for audiophile-grade home theater speakers approximately 3 years ago, with criteria of: 1) precise soundstage, imaging and clarity; 2) solid dynamics; and 3) open, translucent center channel. In short, I was looking for audiophile speakers that would perform equally well in home theater.
My search began with Aerial Acoustics, Avalon, B&W, Dynaudio, JM Lab, Proac, Revel, Totem and others, and in the end the Revel’s were the clear victor.
Now, after 3 months of ownership, I can honestly say that I would be hard pressed to find a better sounding bookshelf and center channel combination. I know longer watch movies, I participate in them. I know longer listen to multi-channel recordings, I conduct them. These speakers are so open, natural and dynamic that they will unleash your emotions like never before, as long as you match them with the proper components. The Revel M20 and C30 are very detailed speakers with wonderful mid bass but they tend to roll off at the top end, so match them with components that will compliment this characteristic - perhaps Krell, Classe’ or Parasound. Strengths: Voices are crystal clear, very open, and natural. Best I've ever heard. Weaknesses: None Similar Products Used: Aerial,Avalon,B&W,Dynaudio,JM Lab,Proac,Totem & others.
