Revel F36 and the entire Concerta2 line is pretty much end game speaker equipment for the typical music listener or home theater enthusiast IMO.
Going beyond that is for a different level of audiophile, and at a very, very different PRICE!
For sure revel f36 is so good and dynamics are unrealistic , I hope you make atleast 1 review per week 🙏
Will try to do it bro 😊
How does the F36 compare with Focal 826? Have you tried them? How is the sound stage and imaging of F36? Does it feel like the speakers disappear when playing music?
good question i am trying to decide between the 2
Hi good video, have you looked at Taga harmony platinum F-120 V 3 speakers.
How well does that SVS center ultra blend with the Revel F36s? I was thinking of doing SVS prime pinnacle as L/R but have been reading great things on the Revels.
Ultra blend with revel nicely 😊
Hi... great video..have u tried svs tower speaker.
Didn’t get a chance to audition a floor standing speaker from svs, but my centre channel is svs ultra. Also the ultra tower is above F36 price range.
How much is the price of q acoustics 3050i floor standing spkrs!?
I think u may get it around 70K INR
Have u tried any Klipsch speaker
Yes brother 😊
Are you located in Kerala?
Yes 😊
If you spoke a little slower I would be able to understand what you are trying to say.
Sorry for the inconvenience I will try to make it better 🙏
The F36 is a terrible, terrible speaker. Worst speaker purchase I ever made, by a wide margin. The woofers within this enclosure exhibit a pronounced resonance just below 100 Hz. In the frequency response graph, as you move toward that frequency from higher frequency, the response is mostly flat but then there is an abrupt cliff and a gap before reaching the lower frequency where the output from the port supplements the woofers. This kind of response is indicative of a major resonance even if the response is flat above that frequency. This resonance is accompanied by a very high level of distortion, which is that horrible, horrible sound you hear intermittently, which sounds like someone in the next room is intermittently bumping two very large plastic pipes against each other. To correct this passively within the speaker, it is necessary to operate one of the woofers as a passive radiator. Since you then have just one 10 ohm driver as opposed to two in parallel (5 ohm in effect), the low-pass filter for the remaining active woofer won't be correct, and you have to redo it. If you do this, this will fix this problem, and I'm reasonably certain that there isn't any other solution that can be applied within the speaker itself, as opposed to the use of equalization to tame that resonance. If you do this, you can make it a little better still by placing a jumper across the terminals of the woofer operated as a passive radiator. This will add damping to the passive radiator and improve its performance. This will correct the problem with the bass, except that you still have itty bitty midwoofers pretending to be true woofers, which doesn't ever work because the itty bitty midwoofers don't have Fs as low as it needs to be and they do not have linear excursion even remotely close to what it needs to be. So you still end up needing to cross these speakers over to a subwoofer, using a crossover frequency closer to 150 Hz than to 100 Hz. I just don't understand the rationality for a speaker that is handicapped in this manner selling at retail for more than $2000 per pair. And there is another problem, just as severe as the bass problem. The midrange-tweeter crossover in this speaker isn't close to anything that anyone who understands crossovers would consider correct. The midrange and the tweeter are not phase coherent, not even close. At the crossover frequency, the main acoustic lobe is severely tilted. The response is reasonably flat for one particular placement of the horizontal axis, but this is partly due to the phase cancellation between these two drivers. As you walk around the room within about four feet of the speaker, you encounter the point vertically off-axis where the acoustic outputs of these two drivers are in phase and mutually reinforce. When you encounter this, you experience a pronounced increase in the output in the vicinity of the crossover frequency. This is accompanied by a very conspicuous high level of distortion, which is annoying beyond comprehension. Lacking another explanation I assume that this is the distortion generated from the tweeter when it is driven at frequency below the crossover point and at correspondingly lower level. Even though the signal that is applied to the tweeter is much weaker at lower frequency, the excursion of the diaphragm can be greater nevertheless, leading to distortion which has frequency components much higher in frequency, i.e., in the region of the crossover. This is the only explanation I can think of, for why the level of distortion in the vicinity of the crossover becomes as extreme as it is with this speaker when you are not situated directly on that much-too-narrow sweet spot referred to as the horizontal axis of the speaker. The net effect, whatever the full explanation, is one of the worst sounds I've ever heard made by any loudspeaker. This speaker is like none other than I've ever heard, because the bass sounds awful, and unless you are sitting directly on the intended horizontal axis, the treble also sounds awful due to the tilting of the main lobe at the crossover point. This speaker really, really needs for some industrious person to work up a proper acoustic LR4 crossover. If someone does that, then if you make that modification and also the woofer modification that I've described, this speaker will transform into a speaker that is very nearly worth the retail price. But as it comes out of the carton, the only way I would buy this speaker at any cost would be maybe if I could buy one used at a great discount from retail and I had a buyer lined up. Revel should never have brought this speaker to market. Given that they did, if they had any sense of pride in their products, they would take it upon themselves to come up with a proper acoustic LR4 crossover and make it available at a low cost with minimal markup.
