Arendal 1961 Towers vs Revel Concerta2 F36

[Grierts]

Looking for some comparisons between these two speakers ?

Anyone heard them both?

I hear the arendals have a more narrow dispersion pattern?

How does this affect real work usage

I can get the arendals for $1200/pair

The f36 open box $1100/pair

Two svs subs paired with them 1000pro

Correct:


(F35 and F36 have the same dispersion)

How does this affect real work usage

The F36 will have a wider sweet spot, so you can stand or sit further off-axis before you notice a change in timbre.

The F36 also has a slightly brighter tuning and better bass extension:

Have the Concerta2 F36 been reviewed here, by Erin or on Audioholics? Or somewhere where reviews are based on measurements ?
If I may ask, where did you get these measurements from ?
I am considering getting a pair... how do they compare to the Polk R700?

Probably depends on your use case. For me wider dispersion would be an advantage.

No measurement-based review exists of the F36 AFAIK.
