Dear,
I went though a lot of pages from this form to understand and capture information in order to help me and choose the right speaker to go with my Arcam A29.
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.
Today, I went listening to few speakers at richer sounds:
From those 3 I found the Revel and Focal having more bass while the Dali was more in the high frequencies and behind in the bass.
I don't know which one to choose between the Focal or the Revel and would need some advice.
I check on the Revel website and they do not give a lot of technical information especially the high frequencies, which is a bit strange.
The Focal are very nice, warm with a rich sound which offer great characters. The Revel offer the same but with a bit more bass. However I'm not sure in the high frequencies if the Revel are as good as the focal. from the listening looks like but not sure.
My type of music is very much classical music such as Brahms, Strauss, Vivaldi, Wagner, Mozart……… and more rhythm with Daft Punk, Jean Michel Jarre, Electric Light Orchestra, the Alan Parson Projet, Muse, and Electro. Very large variety of music as you can see.
Last, the price in UK the Focal comes at 800£ and the revel at £1000 when in US the revel is more at $900.
From your knowledge and experiences which one would you pick?
I feel also touching the price range of 1k I know the KEF 3R are the reference and spending 1k on the Revel might be disappointing. I don't know if I have the right approach but I feel like that now.
Thank you for your advice!
