    It's funny how we see different things when we read. I didn't even remember most of the first two sentences of Giskard's post, but the third one stuck in my mind.

    I'd love to see that come to pass, although the new Revel Ultima2 Studio and Salon speakers come to mind (but without a bass driver like an LE14H-3).

    Indeed -- I quickly read and forgot the direct radiator part

    Anyway..thanks for the reviews....
    My whole house is MY ROOM, got rid the the wife years ago.
    But seriously, how big of a room is needed for the Everest?
    I know the 250Ti need a fairly large room to sound good. Where as the smaller L212 can play in any room.

    It doesn't need as big a room as the 250Ti to sound really good. It will sound good in smaller rooms. I'm running the E2 bottom end in a 15 x 24 right now and it is fascinating.

    How the hell will they get direct radiators to sound like horns?
    The Everest, from what I've read, doesn't sound like horns, but the Everest is a breed of its own.

    They won't. And they don't have to. They already have the horn market sewn up in Japan. Evidently they have some latitude to experiment and try new products.

    Lets see, if I sell the house, move farther out of town, put up a double wide, I should have enough money for a pair of Everest.
    Some food for thought.
    Too bad the housing market, around here, is so bad right now.

    Yep. I'm pretty cranky over that whole thing.

    Why would they want to?

    They already have the Array Series for that.

    It'd be nice to have a series of direct radiators above the Performance Series. Apparently Revel thought so; perhaps just close Revel down in the reorg and let Greg Timbers make some righteous JBLs out of those Ultima2s. Oh yeah.

    I took Giskard's comment as meaning, in Japan they like the sound of the Array but not the orientation of the horns.
    If you like the Revels, just buy them.
    One of these days I'll have to get over to Squaw Valley, there is a dealer there that sells Revels. I've never heard them.

    I'm still waiting for the Ultima2 Salons to be available for audition. Announced last fall, available...?

    It's easier to hear the Everest II. At least we have members who can assert that they exist. Not so with the Ultima2s.

    And I might add that in the larger rooms I have heard the Everest in, the bass has been highly problematic and really let the speaker down. Sorry to be a dissenter, but I'd love to hear the speaker working as a cohesive whole.

    Oh I can see where one could end up with a really poor bottom end response. It's just the opposite of loading the response of something like a 4345 up in a corner.

    No - every time I heard them the bottom end was slow and ponderous in comparison with the 476be - fat too - causing a rather disjointed presentation with non audiophool music. The timing simply wasn't there - that rythmnic snap we Brits take for granted.

    I am sure it was a room/setup issue -although we had the same impression in three seperate rooms. It was disappointing for me - I really wanted to love the damn things. They look too damn sexy for their own good.
