New Revel Ultima 2 Line

[EAmin]

I'm surprised I haven't seen any posts about the new line announced by Revel.

From Avguide.com: http://www.avguide.com/news/2006/09/...ma-2-speakers/

The Ultima 2 line consists of the four-way, six-driver Salon 2s ($22k/pair); the three-way, four-driver Studio 2s ($16k/pair); the three-way, three-driver, wall/stand-mount Gem 2s ($5k/each), and the three-way, four-driver Voice 2 center channel speaker ($8k/each). The Ultima 2s feature beryllium tweeters mounted in a newly developed wide-dispersion waveguide, plus titanium midrange drivers and woofers.

I for one am super excited to hear these speakers as they have been TOTALLY redesigned from scratch. Although I loved the look of the old Ultimas, I like this new traditional look better. Check out the Revel site for some more pics.

Look for them at your neighborhood dealer in early 2007.

Video Clip on the Ultimas

oh, I forgot to mention to listen to the video clip from Kevin Voecks at avguide.com. It's about 7 minutes, but very interesting.

Not sure if these have shipped yet. Wondering if anyone's had a listen yet?

Apparently, the first ones just came off the the production line last week.

Maybe in your neighborhood, but not mine.

Thanks Kal! That's good news. I was kinda wondering why I haven't heard or read anything on them.

I read somewhere on one of the forums or blogs that you thought the Ultima 2s were one of the three top sounding equipment at CEDIA.

I can't wait to hear them.

I live in a pretty small town. Nearest real audio dealer is ~150mi, and I'm not even certain they carry the line.

Doesn't really matter anyway because they're way out of my budget - I was just messing with you guys. If I had a "spare" $22k, I'd probably have to go for a newer car or truck.
