I've listened to the Revel's and I was very impressed at the price point. I definitely prefer them over the Dynaudio's, but I really have not hear a Dynaudio that I personally liked (I have not listened to the Evidence or Temptation)--not that they are bad speakers, I just don't care for them as much. They always seem to sound a bit bloated in the bottom octaves. The other small speaker that I really like is the Red Rose R-3, but it's considerably more expensvie--though I have seen used ones around the new price of the F50.
revel F50's -- talk me out of buying them
I'm about to purchase a pair of Revel F50's. I have Bryston 7B-ST's, a Rogue 99 preamp and a Meridian 508-24. I listen to just about everything and my room is medium sized (15x20 approx).
Is there another speaker I should buy? I've heard the Revels twice and both times I found them to be very competent and non-fatiguing across the board. Not the last word in excitement during auditions, but I assume that will mean that I won't get tired or annoyed by any quirks.
Before I plunk down the big bucks next week (I know they are not expensive to some of you, but they are to me) I want to see if any of you can talk me out of the purchase. Give it your best.
Thanks,
Rich
