I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on one of these two speakers and had a couple of concerns that I could use some advice with please. Especially if you own or have auditioned them both.
So, I'm in my 60's and have tinnitus and will be playing these at low to moderate volume, no need for high SPL, want to preserve what hearing I've got left.
1. Will one of these give me a fuller sound at low volumes? I've heard anecdotally that the Revels prefer more volume to really sing, plus the Focals look to be more sensitive, i.e. 87.7 db for the Revels vs 91 for the Focals. (I'll be using a Parasound A21+, so perhaps the sensitivity part is a non-issue.)
But regardless, will one work better at lower volumes?
2. Will one of these work better near walls? i.e. easier to dial in to the room, less finnicky about where it's positioned? I can only pull out about 2 feet from my front wall so that limitation is on my mind.
3. And last, does one of these have a wider sound stage? Reviews indicate they both disperse well, what's been your experience once they're home with you?
Thanks!
