Okay just finished setting up my new Revel Concerta2 5.2.4 surround sound system with F36 towers, and M16 bookshelves, and here's the crazy story. My son is really good at guitar having played at Radio City Music Hall good. One of his oldest and most favorite songs is Hotel California. I had him come play first then he and I listened to my old speakers playing the song through Spotify then we hooked up the new speakers connected through an OutLaw 5000x amp. I was worried I spent a couple grand and wouldn't hear any difference. Thankfully and to no surprise for the regulars here my mind was blown at the difference. The Revels made it sound like the performers were in the room just as if my son was playing live; he even played along for awhile and honestly no difference to my ears.
I couldn't be happier.
But . . .
Here's my question.
The good Lord has blessed me with good fortune when it comes to money. I'm not Bezo's rich or even close, but I can drop another $6k without too much concern . . . so . . .
What speakers would folks recommend I try next in the $4k to $6k per pair range that they believe would provide enough difference that I will notice. For those who haven't followed any part of the recent poll I started I should mention that it is my belief that these speakers I just bought, Revel F36, represent the peak performance that I can perceive. Or put another way I really do want to try more expensive speakers because clearly I had no idea what I was missing until today, but if I am honest with myself I am already biased in believing I will not be able to hear any difference.
Anyways, as always, I'm eager to hear what folks here have to say about my ideas as well as the recommendations for speakers in the $3k to 6k region worth trying. My first inclination is just to buy a pair of Revel Performa 228Be's. Of course, it is also possible I could go and demo some high end speakers as well, and that might save me a ton of money. Trouble is those sound rooms are so optimized I'm sure to be easily impressed and then Ill end up walking away with a $100k speaker - JK!
