Revel F206 Tower Speaker Review

[robh36062]

I am looking at it from sensitivity point of view. The base is 88 a pair is 91 db 1 meter. So to run at 102 lets make it easy and say 10 db so 10 watts @ 1 meter. Listening distance of 12 ft and add 6 db more power to keep the level the same and now your at 4X and you looking at 40 watt average.

So how big a room, listening distance and available amp power.

Assuming you mean 102 average.

Random user being subjective here, if you apply a very little bit of attenuation at 4978.17hz and toggle the filter on and off, I really think most people will find that the cancelations in the ceiling and floor bounce early reflections in the region do not result in the area being free from excessive energy, being too shrill

 

[Cadillacofminds]

Trying to say, attenuation in that region seems to me to definitely be an improvement

 

[Cadillacofminds]

aaah, I got myself mixed up, the big dips in the floor and ceiling bounces are more around the xover point, where I also have some attenuation going. ...These seem to do better when they're not aimed exactly at the ears, with some attenuation at the xover region and where the directivity and on-axis response peak between 4 and 5khz, no?

That was my experience - small amount (10-15 degrees max) of toe in from firing straight ahead

So glad Mr. staticV3 posted those . So useful and it induced me to pay some attention to what Mr. MZKM posts(ed) at the beginning. This one horizontal directivity plot accessed after the link makes me realize the left and right axes are not nearly symmetrical, why is that?

Yeah that's weird.

They might be misaligned one step by accident.

@pierre Could you take a look, please? (Link)
