Full Details
Revel Continues Its 'Segment-Defining' Craft with the Compact Performa4 M146: Precision-Tuned Bookshelf Speakers Feature 6.5-Inch Woofer and Play with Fantastic Detail, Dynamics, and Definition
The long-awaited successor to the bookshelf speaker The Absolute Sound crowned "one of the great compacts" of the 21st century and named "a segment-defining" work, the Revel Performa4 M146 invites you to hear music with no discernible changes in neutrality throughout its 43Hz-40kHz frequency range. As well as detail, dynamics, and definition that will likely have you seeing favorite recordings with fresh perspective and appreciation. Not to mention soundstaging that might have you scratching your head in disbelief.
The largest bookshelf entry in a series based on a brand-new seventh-generation waveguide with acoustic lens, cutting-edge transducers, and modern looks, this 14.1 x 9.7 x 12.7-inch (HWD) overachiever adds to the reputation of a brand that seldom releases new models due to its philosophy of doing something, spending as much time as needed to get it right, and finally unleashing it in the public space. Unlike most manufacturers, Revel is content to let its creations stand for years amid trends and constant changeover. That's how good its speakers are. Suffice it to say that M146 is no exception.
Bolstered by a 6.25-inch Micro Ceramic Composite (MCC) cone woofer and one-inch Deep Ceramic Composite (DCC) tweeter mounted in the aforementioned waveguide, it plays with uncommon richness, accuracy, purity, and involvement. Few speakers in this price class perform with such effortlessness and naturalism. A combination of high-end obsessiveness that includes Revel's rigorous testing, advanced engineering, precision two-way crossover network, and bass-reflex port enclosure further account for outstanding reproduction of critical sounds such as ambient cues, low-level transients, and timbral information.
Visually appointed with inverted surrounds and a trim ring cover, the 24.3-pound M146 also sports newly patented cast frames, elegant cabinetry, and a magnetically attached grille. With an 85.5 dB sensitivity rating, M146 helps bring luxury audio into small and mid-sized rooms with rarified grace, beauty, and clarity.
