Tannoy Reveal X?
Think I've got the room problems addressed reasonably w/ wrapped 703.
I'm tracking and mixing largely acoustic instruments, voices. Been holding out for Dynaudio BM6 or maybe 15 - based on googling this group - to mate with my Hafler P4000. It's a guess of course, & auditioning everything I'm interested in is challenging here in New Mexico. To save funds for other needs, I've been watching used sources - & haven't seen any passive Dyns turn up recently. Want to improve what I'm been using which has problems I can now detect easily. The passive Reveals are interesting, and likely are good enough to help me continue learning. I'm also curious about the "Reveal X", ie dual-woofer passive Reveal. Prices are good, probably because they didn't catch on in the market. Anyone using these, with observations to share on their subjective value? Thanks, Rob |

Ask Sheldon at www.quadesl.com if he can recommend some places with decent speaker systems for sale in the area.

I strongly recommend taking a trip to the AES show in the fall, just to get a sense of what else is out there.

They sound good, although the X still doesn't have much better extension than the regular Reveal. They're worth listening to, though, but don't buy _anything_ without listening. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

Thank you both -
Scott, for the direct and helpful comments as always. I'll contact Sheldon, he is close by. And I think there is a local NHT dealer who is likely to have some models that could work for me and can be auditioned. Garth, I appreciate hearing from you and the account of direct experience. I know our ears could differ, but I'm now thinking of the Reveal X as more of a marketing creature that an effective redesign. I'll keep holding out and listening. Rob |

The NHT home and studio stuff are sold through different distribution channels, so a home dealer won't be able to get the A-20. But the home NHT stuff is also pretty good and certainly worth listening to. I often use a pair of the old NHT Super Ones as field monitors. Depending on which stages I am working at the Washington Folk Festival, I may be using them this weekend, even. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |
