Revel's Performa M20 mates the 1" aluminum-dome tweeter from the F30 with a 6.5", full-range version of that speaker's magnesium-alloy inverted-dome midrange unit. Both units are made by Revel. The woofer uses a 1.5"-diameter voice-coil edge-wound with flat wire on a Kapton former to maximize the amount of conductor within the magnetic gap. The pole-piece is vented for better cooling and lower compression, and fitted with a flux-shorting ring to reduce modulation distortion. A diecast basket is used for maximum rigidity, and the seamless dome is terminated with a surround of butyl rubber, chosen for its linear excursion capability. The tweeter is cooled with ferrofluid and uses both a flux ring and an underhung voice-coil to minimize distortion.

The use of lightweight metal-alloy diaphragms for both drive-units is said to ensure true pistonic operation within their passbands. The crossover is set at 2.2kHz, and "high-order" filters are used. Rotary controls on the rear panel adjust the woofer's output for free-space, stand-mounted conditions, or for use on a bookshelf, and shelve the tweeter up or down by up to ±1dB, in 0.5dB steps.

The M20's cabinet is constructed from 1" MDF, finished in real-wood veneer, braced to maximize cabinet-wall rigidity, and out of the box is fitted with three bulbous feet of cast aluminum. When the speaker is used with Revel's matching open-frame stands, these feet are removed and fitted to the base of the stand. The M20's front baffle has rounded edges to optimize diffraction. Even so, the speaker looks a little over-square in its proportions, which generally implies a somewhat compromised horizontal radiation pattern. Electrical connection is via a single pair of high-quality binding posts beneath the rear-facing, 2.25"-diameter reflex port, the latter flared to reduce wind noise.

The overall impression is of a well-engineered, well-crafted speaker that—especially considering its weight—you'd expect would sell for quite a bit more than $2000/pair.

In very good shape. Silver screens are perfect. Overall very clean. Work perfectly. Crazy good sound & BASS for small speakers. Highly acclaimed for price point, build quality. If local, I also can sell you matching Maple Core Speaker Stands that retail for $1,275 for $625 for the pair.
