Description
Revel Performa F50 Bookcase Speakers (Walnut). Selling my pair of Revel Performa F50s. Was used at my dads house and he no longer wants them. Paid $7,500 new for the pair.There is one cosmetic blemish on one (pictured), and some minor deterioration on the housing of the speakers (inside the cover), but overall theyre in great condition. These were disassembled from the full setup, but they sound amazing and are in perfect working condition. The housing for the subwoofer just needs a little TLC (only a cosmetic issue) and the interior theres a small tear in the rubber, but those are both easily fixable by anyone with a$1500 OBO. I also have Performa C30 in perfect working condition and could sell that as well for the ultimate home theater setup.Heres a little about the speakers:Revels driver design, which they call a ceramic composite, seems simple enough on paper; in practice, its anything but. In a nutshell, three layers of material—a core of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and two outer layers of glass fiber—form a glass substrate. Geopolymer resin bonds the layers into a single, solid structure, and heat is applied to cure and transform the resulting molecular structure into a true ceramic material. Maybe it doesnt sound so simple on paper, either, but it works. If you know Revel, you know that they wouldnt have let it out the door unless they were completely satisfied with the results.In the F50, the new drivers debut as three 6.5-inch woofers and a 5.25-inch midrange. The F50 also uses a different tweeter than its step-down sibling, the F30: It still uses a 1-inch dome, but the dome is constructed of pure titanium instead of aluminum alloy. New materials aside, the same successful philosophies that Revel has employed on their previous drivers are in place. These include matching the drivers to within 0.5 decibels of the companys reference units for precise timbre-matching; high-order crossover networks that increase power handling and reduce distortion by restricting the driver to its ideal operating bandwidth; physically separate woofer, tweeter, and midrange filter boards to further combat distortion; and massive overhung voice coils and large motor systems with tight tolerances. The crossover points are 225 hertz and 2.3 kilohertz. The F50s cabinet is 1-inch-thick MDF with extensive internal bracing and cavities (damped with Dacron and Fiberglas) that isolate the driver groups according to frequency range. The front baffle is rounded to reduce diffraction, and the cabinet is ported to the rear. The rear panel offers two sets of gold-plated binding posts for biamping/biwiring, plus a tweeter-level control that affects high-frequency balance and timbre. Four cast-aluminum feet (which can accept spikes) complete the structure, and wood-veneer finishes in cherry, sycamore, rosewood, or black ash help give the F50 considerable aesthetic appeal.What can we say about these masterpieces other than they are magnificent,... they capture the full range of sound imbedded in every recording. They breath life into any system with power, drive, pace and are unmistakably Revel.
