If your interest is in the Revelator woofer you have two choices in Fritz's lineup that are basically the same speaker with that driver in the same cabinet with the difference being either the Be tweeter or the Scan Speak Illuminator tweeter with the changes to the crossover changing the tweeter would require. If you have a genuine interest in Fritz's speakers it is well worth it to give him a call and just talk to him but make your you set aside time because he loves to talk audio and gear of all types. I have had a pair of Carrera Be's in house for just under a month and they work for me but the other option may work better for you. He will be happy to let you try a pair for 30 days and if you don't like them then just pay the return shipping. Another option if you are trying to avoid subs is the Buchardt S-400. The bass response out of that little box was truly amazing in my demo of them.
Jack,
I should’ve mentioned that I spoke with Fritz on Saturday. Very nice and helpful guy. We discussed my gear, listening habits, etc. The Revelator driver isn’t a necessity for me. I mentioned it because I’d read up on it a bit with positive comments. Interestingly enough, the Buchardt woofer is based on and supposedly an improved version of the Revelator. Fritz and I only discussed the Carrerra
BE 7 as that’s the only model I asked about. I’d get it for a good price as well.
I have looked into the Buchardt S400s a few months ago and was offered a trial. They’re in Denmark and I was very hesitant to pull the plug because of that. The 400s have a waveguide design just like my current LS 50s and my SP Tech Timepieces before that. Based on the reviews including YouTube, I’m still curious about them.
