    Revel F206 Tower Speaker Review

    I see from the first page here on the f206 that there is a peak from the mid driver at 5khz, but it is 20db down, probably not a problem. I believe the 4-5khz is from the speaker baffle edges (diffraction), as it is also on the m106/m16 that does not use that 5" mentioned above...... You can...

    Bandcamp offer 24 bit download - any idea why?

    if I remember, 24 bits, it only has 2 more data bits of the audio signal than 16 bit. There is redbook 16 bit/44k, then 24 bit / 96k, so a squeek more audio resolution and double the words. Is this right ?

    does anyone enjoy flat sound from audio speakers?

    Since I'm already boosting bass/treble (different room, different speakers, different volume level, different distance to MLP, my mood, music types)....... I'll add some more cowbell as well !!!!!!!!
