Revel F228BE
Jefferson Davis, I knew a Jefferson Davis from Granite City, IL. Not you is it?? One thing is about the Beryllium tweeters Revel uses and has used for awhile in their award winning Ultima line. Other manufacturers are using in their top tier lines... 
Revel F228BE
Chrissain I was told black is on back order for 30-60 days due to high demand and selling out. Good luck to you.  
Revel F228BE
Chrissain, I heard them today for over an hour at my local dealer and WOW are they amazing. I have the Silver which is Astin Martin silver with metal flake in the paint ordered and coming in about 7-10 days. Absolutely beautiful speakers and sound... 
What were your humble beginnings on the path to high end audio?
My first good rockin gig was in about 1982 i bought a Parasound receiver and AAL speakers with a Technics belt drive turntable. Bought it from CMC stereo in Illinois which stood for Chicago Music Company and the owner started out of his backseat i... 
Revel F228BE
Mtrot, My front end is Ayre preamp and Levinson 532h amp and what I like about Revel is the accuracy to frequency response being true to the recording.  
Focal Electra BE series
Mofojo, I'm at a loss why does my posts keep getting taken down by a mediator when I said nothing offensive my last 2 posts but someone else keeps making aggressive and offensive posts ?? I wish someone would just go away and stay off my post if a... 
Bluesound Node2 with outboard DAC
I must say that a few weeks back I bought a very lightly used Benchmark Dac2 in mint shape for $1,200 and connecting my Oppo BDP105d to it and the difference in sound is amazing. One of the best tweaks ive made, a great dac.  
Focal Electra BE series
Thank you mofojo for a very nice comparison. I had Paradigm Prestige 85 at same time in my current setup with Revels and I previously had Paradigm Monitor 11 not in same league although great for rock as they play loud with punch. Prestige 85 had ... 
Focal Electra BE series
Funny too how kosst hasn't even heard the 1000Be series but he has an opinion on how much better Kantas are, if you haven't heard either how can you make any comparison? I have at least heard to Focal Kantas with my own ears and in my original pos... 
Focal Electra BE series
Wow,,,,,mofojo  that's almost hilarious! I liked your post. And I really wish someone would kindly reply in a positive review on the 1028be and comparisons to my Revel Performa F206 speakers, if they are comparable as far as neutrality and sound t... 
Focal Electra BE series
So the Kantas are better than Sopras and Utopias that both use W sandwich cone drivers and same tweeter as 1028be?And I guess also flax drivers used in lower line speakers as in Kantas are better but not good enough for Utopias using W sandwich dr... 
Focal Electra BE series
Kosst amojan, I'm just going by Focal website and fact their Utopia and Sopra use the W sandwich drivers and I believe same famed Beryllium tweeter in the BEs. Don't know Why tweeter in Kanta could be better, but anyhow I had auditioned Kanta and ... 
Leaving Solid State Equipment on all the Time
I have talked to Mark Levinson tech on my amp and Benchmark about their DAC and both told me i could leave on all the time 24/7 without any issue. Levinson said it could help sound better lessening the warm up period of an hour or so. My Ayre prea... 
Focal Electra 1028BE vs Revel Perform a vs PSB Imagine T3
Steve59 which pair between the Focal and Revel would you rather own? Overall better sound?  
Benchmark DAC2 seeting into Ayre k5exMP preamp
Another piece of info. On the Ayre K-5xeMP the gain is 10db through balanced inputs, so it made a perfect unity gain doing the -10db on the Benchmark analog output.
