Revel F52 Floor-Standing Speakers, C52 Center Channel Speaker, S30 Bookshelf Speakers

[Sonnie]

Introduction

CEDIA 2005 is now long gone, but during my visit to the Harman Specialty booth at the show I saw from a distance what I thought looked like the F50, but there was something different. A closer look did confirm that this was a new design and the placard on the floor had its name on it: F52. Sitting next to it was its center-channel companion, the C52.

While the shape and size of the F52 resembled that of the F50, the C52 was noticeably different from the C50. The woofers were larger, requiring a larger cabinet. About three years had passed since the F50/C50 loudspeakers were introduced, so I guess it was time for their successors to make their debut.

When I talked to Kevin Voecks about these new models (part of their Performa Series), he sounded very enthusiastic about the new transducer designs and the waveguide. I still have fond memories of my time reviewing the F50/C50 system, so I made a request to review their replacements.
