Hales Design Group Revelation 3 Floor Speakers in Walnut

This listing is for a pair of very highly rated at introduction Hales Design Group Revelation 3 floor speakers in Natural Walnut.  Just tested and sound great. Orig msrp was $2195.00, offered for $900.00 plus $200.00 domestic shipping or free local pickup in Gainesville FL 32609.

These speakers were introduced in 98' and show slight wear cosmetically but still play 100% musically, see pics pls.

If there was ever a speaker for all seasons so to speak, it was the Revelation 3.
Regardless of the program material put to them, the playback is very musical, with a layering in of the instruments and voice that is difficult to find at any price point.

The Revelation Three uses 24dB/octave (fourth-order) crossover filters, which means that its drivers cannot be time-aligned. The choice of ,crossover slope remains a controversial topic among speaker designers. Those favoring 6dB/octave (first-order) slopes-eg, Dunlavy, Thiel, and Vandersteen-argue that the use of any other crossover configuration results in impaired accuracy of imaging and soundstaging. These speakers certainly do not lack soundstage depth or width, and the images within the soundstage are clearly defined.

Played at the high level that some music demands, the music came through loud and clear, the bass providing a solid rhythmic foundation. The Revelation Three's were able to play loud without audible strain, maintaining the clarity of musical textures.
