Revel Ultama 2 RHYTHM 2 SUBWOOFER

As many of you may remember, DESIGN AUDIO VIDEO in Tyler /
Whitehouse, TX, was once owned by David Baskin, a long time AUDIOGON
subscriber, who sadly passed away from ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease) in September
of 2015.  David’s home / business was located
approximately 4.5 miles South of town on a spacious property with 2 beautiful,
stone and brick buildings.  One of course
is their home, which includes a dynamic Theater on its own.  The other building however was David’s High-End,
DEMO Theater designed for various product demonstrations.

In May of 2016, I was blessed to be able to purchase the
company from his amazing wife Keri.  Last
month, she decided to sell their property and asked if I would help her list
the High-End equipment in the DEMO Theater, here on AUDIOGON.

You should know that I do NOT own this equipment…It belongs to Keri Baskin. 

With all of that said, ALL
prices herein have been approved by Keri. Any and All “Realistic” offers will be given to her for her final approval.  Your payments, should you wish to purchase any
of these items, should be made to her…NOT me.

With that said, she will accept:  Certified
Check ONLY   (NO PAYPAL !!!)

All equipment has been re-packaged in it’s Original boxes
with Original Protective Packaging.  No
exceptions.                                                                                                                                                                                          

PLEASE NOTE the
Timeline:  David was diagnosed with
Lou Gehrig’s Disease in 2010.  He began designing
his DEMO Theater in 2011 (?) and it was completed in 2013 (?).  As you can easily imagine, he was constantly
changing/upgrading equipment.  All of the
pieces herein are the culmination of a great deal of ongoing research /
matching and represent David’s ideal Theater at the time of his passing in
September, 2015. 

I give you this timeline to underscore the Fact that by the
time David had finished his Theater, the progression of his disease had forced
him to completely forego active selling / working with home builders in ’14 and
‘15, due to being confined to his motorized chair and eventually being bed-ridden.
The company was able to survive due to his wife Keri, his Excellent reputation
and training of 2 very competent Technicians. 
According to Keri, from the time the Theater was finished until his
passing, David had no more than 5 to 7 builders
drive out to their property and visit the DEMO Theater for demonstration. 

TRANSLATION:  This equipment is very much LIKE NEW….Almost NO usage at
all.  Additionally, with the exception of
the REVEL Rhythm2 Subs, ALL equipment listed is still current from each of the
manufacturers.

Due to AUDIOGON’s selling model, I will need to list each
item separately.  However, below is the Complete
List of Equipment from David’s DEMO Theater. 
In addition, I will eventually list all of the Cabling as well. 

Should you find something here that you like, ALL PAYMENTS
are to be made to Keri Baskin.  She will
accept Certified Checks ONLY…… (NO
PAYPAL !!!)

REVEL  RHYTHM-2 
SUBWOOFERS

Revel engineers created a state
of-the-art 18-inch sub using the most sophisticated FEA modeling in the design
of every component part, from the ultra-low distortion motor system to the
spider, surround, voice coil and frame. It has massive 4-inch diameter by
1.75-inch long dual voice coils, immersed in a symmetrical magnetic field
stabilized to maintain low distortion, even during very long excursion.

Two 1,000 Watt RMS (2,000 Watt peak) amplifiers
power the massive dual voice coils to provide ample power for the huge
diaphragm area and long-excursion capability. This massive output power assures
output greater than 115dB, at low-distortion.

The Rhythm2 offers sophisticated DSP room
correction.  The Rhythm2 has an full
electronic crossover for choosing independent crossover frequency and slope for
the subwoofer and the main outputs.

Most subwoofers have busy rear panels devoted to myriad connection
options and many set-and-forget controls, including RCA, XLR, speaker binding
posts, AC mains input, phase, polarity, level, crossover settings, among
others. In stark contrast, the new Revel Rhythm 2 Subwoofer's rear panel is
almost void of controls, most of these handled by its new advanced installation
and room optimization software. Even so, one can find high-pass outputs for
driving the audio system's main amplifier and satellite speakers. This shows
how the Revel Design team kept two channel audiophiles in mind, as most
aftermarket subwoofers are designed mainly for the home-theater market where
low- and high-pass filtration is carried out by the home-theater processor.
