I’ve decided to start saving for new tower speakers. I’ve had Dynaudio S40’s and Contour 20’s the latter being much more refined but still after living with both their shortcomings and flaws become apparent. I do enjoy the forwardness of Dynaudio and the wall of music they produce. I’ve also had several pair of Focals and in my experience image better than the Dynaudio’s by a large margin (gunshots from 40’ past the walls of my living room and helicopters flying overhead from stereo speakers). I know some of what I enjoy can be artifacts of poorly performing speakers.
comparing the Revels to the Ascend Acoustics which one may give me a little more of a forward presentation while being more neutral (correct) than Focal’s or Dyn’s? I also know there’s the option on the Ascends for the RAAL tweeter and I’m not sure if I need it. I did also have RBH SV-61R’s with a ribbon and they were very clean although a little boring. That said they were in a heavily dampened bedroom and I had Dynaudio Contour 20’s paired with a pair of SVS SB3000’s in the living room so not a fair comparison.
Predicted in room response is almost identical and pricing is similar so I’m interested in what the differences may be in real use. I’m sure either way my ears will adjust to either with use, damn this hobby!
I did ask this question over at ASR but I think I will get a different perspective here.
