What do you think about Revel Concerta2 M16?

[HorizonsEdge]

Crutchfield has them for $356/each and I was considering them as L/R/C in a new HT build (50% music). I am unsure about center use and could use some advice.

Thanks

No personal experience with them, but test results look pretty decent:

Revel M16 Speaker Review

This is a review and detailed measurements of the Revel M16 stand-mount/bookshelf speaker. I purchased this through my company and it arrived a few days ago. Can't tell you my cost :), but retail price is US $900 (sold $450 each). As you can expect, when you pay more, you do get more as far...

Revel M16 - quasi-anechoic spinorama and misc measurements

This is a quasi-anechoic spinorama measurement of the Revel M16 passive bookshelf speaker. Although this speaker was one of the relatively early ones measured in high precision using Klippel NFS in a review by @amirm (link), I figured it is always nice to have another independent data point so I...

That seems like a very good price!
I use my pair with a Denon stereo receiver, a miniDSP OpenDRC-DI for room EQ, and a SVS SB-1000 sub, and am very happy.

They are very good value for money, they were my first step in to the revel world

This statement will not be too controversial on this site... They are likely the very best speakers you can buy anywhere near that price, and if you can use one as your center instead of the C25, all the better. Some people like to plug the port to tame the bass bump, but if your AVR has room correction, that is not necessary. Others like the bass bump.

What a shame that these go for nearly double that price in Europe (€629,-/each on all Dutch hifi websites). I understand that I can expect an intercontinental surcharge but this is ridiculous!

Great speakers for the price.
