Revel Concerta2 M16 Black

Product Information

The Arcam SA10 sports five analogue inputs, four of which are RCA terminals with one set switchable for the use of the SA10’s built-in moving magnet phono stage.

fs will drop, qts and vas changes also, as I say I’m not saying it’s night and day, but physical parameters do change, it doesn’t take long, (I say 100hrs as a long time, as by that point it’s 100% not going to change until it gets to end of life or something perishes or breaks…) and anything will have happened that will I am a huge fan of using MTM center speakers upright for stereo applications because I prefer the visual aesthetics of the taller, slimmer cabinets and symmetrical driver arrangements.We’re surprised that Revel doesn’t get more love than it appears to here in the UK. Whenever we have experienced the brand’s products at shows, they have always performed well and looked good. Again, neither the M16 nor 530 can do super loud in my room with bass inclusive or bass heavy material without high passing. You will overdrive the bass units. I believe ultimately the 530's tweeter can actually handle higher SPL than the M16 without strain although the M16 is no slouch and for an inexpensive looking tweeter is quite impressive.

The CDS50 was a bit of a surprise to us. Even though it retains that Arcam warmth, it is still able to produce dynamics and detail by the shed-load. Add to that its streaming chops and SACD playing ability, this is a real jewel in the crown for the HDA range. some of these web prices are cheaper than in-store, so please mention that you've seen these offers online) As I have circled, the Harman measurements seems to be some evaluation version? Perhaps there has been changes since? Regardless, the rest of the measurement matches mine quite well so confidence is high in the data you see here.When they’re allowed to work, the M16 signature is smooth, treble extremes are well extended and fatigue-free, which makes for incredibly long listening sessions, even at high volumes. Bass performance is a treat, layering the upper bass with a smoother more integrated and extended lower bassline that seduces the listener. Simply sink into your seat and relax in the ambience flooding around you. When approaching your local dealer for a listen it is essential that you discuss a home demo. Take your time; the M16s will grow on you and could prove to be indispensable. I can imagine many people spending years of sonic bliss with these speakers and being ever so grateful that they had the patience to run them in. Find the correct isolation and stands and begin to build a system around them.

What we found staggering was the fact that the SA20 is equipped with the very same phono stage as the SA10 but, because of that Class G power stage, LPs through the SA20s sounded so much better to us. Currently I have a nice pair of Dali Zensor 1 connected to my amp without Sub (and I don't want one). Time to do the jump. You can tell someone was making sure that the sound you hear reflected horizontally is just as perfect as the on-axis direct sound: Both are rear ported through curvaceous tubes, and they have several other similarities. I think both companies are fairly heavily influenced by lab testing and research, but with listening still featuring in final design. Both products are made in China.Given the bit of roll off in high frequencies, don't go putting absorbers everywhere, especially the thin ones. With well-recorded acoustic pianos, the M106 frequently gave me the impression that I was sitting in the room with the instrument. Tord Gustavsen's Changing Places (CD, ECM 1834) had a sense of dynamic immediacy as Gustavsen put the instrument through its paces throughout its frequency range. The last time I'd heard a jazz piano with such tactile realism was when I had front-center orchestra seats for a Keith Jarrett solo performance at New York's Avery Fisher Hall.
