I got the package quickly, really excellent sound quality. There was a small technical problem one is repaired (soldering defect), but in the end he regained his original voice.

With today's hifi loudspeakers commanding ever higher prices, there seems to be a lot of interest in older "classic" speakers. The Revolution R3s are a great example. Unlike some of the older 80s speakers such as the Mordaunt Short MS55tis (themselves great-sounding speakers), these are designed a lot more in line with today's market - taller, slimmer with a real wood finish. The MS speakers look a bit clumsy and boxy by comparison. The R3's sound fantastic, with an incredibly deep bass for their size. If used close to a wall, they do need the foam plugs in the rear ports to stop any bass boom - if these are missing, cut-to-size bathroom sponges seem to work! The vocals are as clear and lifelike as anything I've heard this side of £1k, and with a decent amplifier (I use a Cyrus 2) have the ability to make instruments appear in the room. There is also a tangible soundstage, with picking out vocalists particularly easy. They are also able to move a lot of air, with the result that dynamic passages and crecendos have all the power they need, whilst quieter passages are afforded the subtlety they require. Acoustic singer/songwriter material comes across particularly well, as does jazz. Bi-wiring is possible, but having tried with a borrowed pair of cables, I couldn't see any huge benefit over a single run of decent cable (I use fisual pearl 2.5mm OFC copper cable, which is cheap but highly effective). Overall, a great pair of speakers that allows the listener to enjoy the performance.Read full review
