Don't overcomplicate REW, start simple, just do a moving mic average around the main listening position and look for any very obvious aberrations. Understand in the bass, flat is generally not desirable, a house curve similar to the Harmon Curve or one of the like is usually more satisfying, so...

I like vintage gear, I really do. It can sound awesome, I like the old Infinity Kappas, but my experience is the cult following is mostly made up of nostalgia. Yeah, they had some decent stuff way back, but at least some of the allure is the memory of those times in our lives rather than...

Punch is pretty good with the triple 8's, some of the best I've heard in the midbass area, but I also feel like sensitivity was prioritized over extended frequency response. A lot of this is room dominated as we know. You have a good amount of cone area to work with, little judicious use of EQ...

Coming from a different angle here, I had F226BE's and replaced them with F328BE's. First of all, the tweeters are different. Similar, sure, but not the same, and the F328BE has the benefit, whatever it is, of a later generation wave guide. Secondly, the F328's do midbass wonderfully. I...

I've gone to Wilson demos, I consider it a fun experience to get a taste of different goals. It's pretty enjoyable usually, some wine and snacks laid out, poking around before and after to look at the fit/finish, which is first rate. I further enjoy contrasting my listening experience with...

I would take a sweep of the 328's by themselves, full range, from the listening position and see what your setup supports on the bottom end, and what the room looks like. The F328BE's are really good at upper and mid bass. I would let them try to do it if your positioning and room allows...

Non-objective initial thoughts: Got these for a great price a few weeks ago, previously had the F226BE's, and still use M126BE's in my office system. I do my own bass systems, and the major things that pulled me towards the F328BE's were the sale price, curiosity surrounding the improved...

I picked up a pair of the 630's and the 698's, both just for fun. The 630's I casually listened to for a couple months before giving to a friend new to audio (with a Fosi bluetooth amp powering them). They did not sound obviously flawed like the measurement suggest, anecdotal not being worth...

I have picked up multiple sets of Revel speakers from The Screening Room ranging from a single M105 through F226BE's in a few different transactions over the past couple years. I have only dealt with Rex. Super easy to deal with, no bs, clear communication, great prices, I wish all sales were...

Had the M106's used in my home office, which is where I do most of my listening. Purchased the F226BE's for main system and loved that tweeter so much that I picked up the M126BE's for the computer system to replace the M106's. Yes, they're not inexpensive, but if you want that BE tweeter...

Years ago I did a somewhat similar test with a Paradigm X30 (I think) crossover for a sub. I plotted out response with the low pass as high as it would go, and same with it as low as it would go. It was not the slope specified by the mfg, and it was not stable at different volume (not...

That's not "human error" in the sense of a hand crafted product will have some inconsistencies, it's simply sloppiness and is inexcusable at that price point. These speakers are allegedly assembled by skilled technicians, perhaps it was a new person due to covid labor shortages, or they were...

As an engineer, this is clearly aimed at addressing customer satisfaction. They call it speaker break-in, but what they really mean is listener break-in, but that would be too unpalatable for the average joe (I agree with their position) to stomach, so you can measure a difference, call it...

The 106's play pretty loud for a little speaker but you're asking a lot out of a bookshelf at 9', if it isn't reference it'll come pretty close. I picked up a pair used as a "dipping my toe in the Revel sauce" trial, replaced some big stand mounted NHT's (M7's) and they couldn't keep up with...

haha! Steve supports getting a lawyer and more cat treats. RE: ts spects: I have a dayton DATS. Could measure it with that.

No, I apologize for the lack of clarity. The initial order, someone gave someone else at Harman the wrong part number. They charged me for, and shipped, the wrong part number. That is the 8" woofer I have now, and it was $288, a fact I mention to give a general frame of reference of street...

We have 2 cats, Walter and Steve. Walter is a sir. Very emotional, comes when called, greets us at the door, plays chase with my wife, fetches, when I got injured stayed by my side for a while. When my wife had an accident he literally got fat simply hanging out next to her, would not leave...

Bought some F226's, my cat Steve knocked something into one of my woofers and Harman sent me the wrong replacement. F226 woofers aren't available right now (covid supply chain issues) and they apologized and told me to keep the 8" woofer. I'm torn between making a small mid-bass/computer sub...

Yes, as previously stated go to the website and you can scroll over the graphs and see exact numbers at any point. They're perfect just the way they are.

I had in the vicinity of 5k to spend on speakers, and was able to procure Revel F226BE's for under the 5k mark, new, shipped to me direct from Harman. I was told that it was a rare sale and partially brought about by Harman being out of stock of the F208's or whatever the "non-BE" model is...
