Anyone have issues with Revel Performa speakers

The woofer and tweeter show driver compression at modest volumes 90dB SPL which is unfortunately not uncommon in many designs see link

The tweeter works a little harder in this design (a possible risk) than others as it is crossed over at 2200 Hz but this low crossover probably contributes to the great even sound dispersion and driver integration.

Note Soundstage normally include linearity measurements at 95 dB SPL - the fact they have not provided them suggests the speaker starts to stress severely at these still modest loud levels.

Looking at this design versus the Monitor 11 - these designs are both very similar - both have crossover around 2200 Hz.

If they played well for two weeks and the speakers are new it does suggest you pushed them more than the modest levels they can handle. If you like dynamics and loud clean sound then buying bigger amplifiers is not the solution - a more heavy duty speaker with pro type drivers (rather than consumer grade) might be the best direction to go.

The F206 is an excellent speaker but you may be pushing them harder than they are designed for.

Shadorne thanks for your input. Good info but maybe not great news, these sound great but I do like to play pretty loud at times. I'm second guessing not going with Paradigm Prestige 85f's. 

Never had a problem with 206's or 208's. Call Revel support. They are generally very helpful. It would be a mistake to give up on such a fine loudspeaker. I can't imagine that the tweeter blew at anything other than uber clipping levels. Revels are extremely well designed.

Thanks 4425. 

Hey 4425, I can't imagine the level I was at was clipping the Rotel but could possibly be just a bad tweeter , like a bad part just one in a thousand?? 
I've pushed that combo before with the Paradigms about 10db or more higher and never an issue. Didn't sounded at all distorted but maybe hard to hear if it was. System has always played clear as a bell when played really loud before. 
Thanks for your feedback, the Revels do sound really good. I hope no more issues.
