Facebook score Hale Revelation 3 !!

[RH Clark]

Just bought a nice pair of Hale Revelation 3 speakers for $100 locally. Got them hooked up and I'm impressed so far with cheap speaker cables. Compared to my Meadowlark Heron speakers they seem to need more power (not as loud) but it could be the speaker wires. Symbols seem cleaner, highs seem punchier if that's understandable. Anyway, so far I'm thrilled, even though it was a 3 hour round trip to pick them up.

I assume you mean Hales Revelation? and for $100 it's a steal. Measurements look very good, especially for spice you stole them for:

Hales Revelation Three loudspeaker Measurements

Measurements The Hales Revelation Three was measured with a DRA Labs MLSSA system in the Stereophile listening room, mounted on an Italian Outline speaker turntable.1 Its B-weighted sensitivity was calculated to be a hair under 87dB/2.83V/m, while its impedance (fig.1) dropped below 4 ohms...

That's a really great deal!

Nice score.

Speaker wires are not affecting your sound. Speaker sensitivity and impedance curve affect how much power they need to achieve a certain level of sound. @87dB sensitivity, they are not exactly low, maybe a little lower than average and possibly lower than what you may have had before. That SR link does indicate they drop below 4 Ohms, so they seem like they will like a bit more power.

Thanks guys. I am really blown away by how good these are. I just had to share this with someone who would understand how excited I am about what a deal I got.

Sweet, but we need to talk about how speaker cables work....

There's lots of things I need to learn. I've always loved to hear someone's high end stereo, but I never could afford the really good stuff. A few years ago, a good friend helped me buy my first Audiophile system with the Meadowlark Speakers.

Try this site, covers the subject well http://www.roger-russell.com/wire/wire.htm

Audiophile is a person seeking good audio essentally, a much abused term especially when describing the hardware. You seem to be sensible about bikes IIRC, audio can be quite practical as well....
