But you know, Mark has nothing to do with Revel, that's a Harmon company. The speakers were designed by Kevin Voecks who used to be with Snell and learned from Peter Snell.
I have the Snell Music and Cinema Reference system with Peter's Type "A" towers as the left and right and it's to die for. I will say again I was very surprised how good the Revels sounded in this room. I was expecting to have to add fiberglass to attenuate them. There are a lot of controls on them. I set these flat and they were great, didn't have to add anything. I'm afraid lot's of people/dealers are boosting the high and ruining the outcome, it's too bad. Kevin will go out or consult on the big installs because he knows it's real easy not to set them up right due to all the flexibilty he designed into them. I was shocked by my outcome...
Thanks,

Hey Ted,
Even though Revel is a Harmon company, it is still ML behind it.
My favorite ML designer was John Krell(the designer of the Parasound amplifiers). When he was there they designed some of their best stuff.
Snells are nice(even though i am not the biggest fan), I think Snell,Sonus Faber, Thiel,Swan,Apogee and Quad kinda all fall in the same category, great for Jazz and classical, but not the greatest speakers for modern music.
I'll look into the Voeck's speakers.
