What's unique about the brand
What reviewers are saying
We read all the reviews. Here's what reviewers feel most strongly about:
- Revel's speaker designs are rooted in extensive research and double-blind listening tests conducted at Harman's advanced R&D facilities.
- They use custom-designed drivers with advanced materials, such as aluminum, titanium, and beryllium.
- Revel speakers offer a wide and even sound dispersion thanks to their Acoustic Lens Waveguide technology and sophisticated crossover designs.
- The brand balances a neutral and accurate sound with dynamic capabilities, creating immersive experiences for both music and movies.
Our favorite reviewer quotes:
- "Its sound is utterly boxless and conveys the impression of transient speed and responsiveness that I associate with electrostatic and ribbon transducers rather than dynamic drivers in box enclosures. In fact, if your eyes were closed and the Gem2 was fired up you would feel that skin-tickling planar-magnetic or electrostatic sensation—the pleasantly weird feeling that music seems to be originating supernaturally from some place other than the speaker itself." (https://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/revel-gem2-loudspeaker)
- "The Salon2's coherence is breathtaking; it sounds very much like a full-range electrostatic rather than a complex four-way, six-driver cone loudspeaker—that is, there's no sense of discontinuity between drivers, just a seamless musical fabric from top to bottom. The treble's integration with the midrange is by far the best I've heard from any multiway loudspeaker." (https://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/revel-ultima-salon2-loudspeaker-1)
- "The Salon2's most salient characteristic (if you can call it a characteristic of the loudspeaker) is the quality that struck me at the CEDIA demo—a startling coherence and transparency that took a big step forward in seemingly removing the loudspeaker from the signal path. This impression was fostered not by what the loudspeaker was doing, but more precisely, by what the loudspeaker wasn't doing—adding timbral colorations, introducing distortion, and otherwise making its presence known." (https://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/revel-ultima-salon2-loudspeaker-1)
- "The highs are open and airy especially for a dynamic speaker. The openness of the speaker is world class and with the right amplifier, these speakers can take on all comers with a sound that is fast, dynamic and open yet never fatiguing." (https://hometheaterreview.com/revel-ultima-salon2-loudspeakers-reviewed)
- "There is a sense of rightness to the sound of this speaker that few others can approach. Its reproduction abilities are complete and seamless from top to bottom."
