Dartzeel and Studio2 - Wow! We have a new king ....
I thought this combo would not work as well. Mainly because of the power hungry nature of the Revels.

Re: Dartzeel and Studio2 - Wow! We have a new king ....
With a touch of sweetness and detail, the Dartzeel amp is amazing on the studio2. The studio2 are very neutral but in a great way. They are full from top to bottom and the Dartzeel works wonderfully on them. It's a sound that I crave and love.

Re: Dartzeel and Studio2 - Wow! We have a new king ....
Nice to hear Joe. Sweet (but not rolled) amp/pre coupled with neutral speakers...sounds like the perfect combo. How is it with subpar recordings?
I hate to not listen to 1/2 my stuff because it's so dated and/or poorly recorded. I know you share a similar sentiment. That's what "scurrs" me about ribbons and metal tweeters.
Sounds like your weekend is almost perfect! Add a few beverages and a <ahem> "friend" and it would be perfect.Michael

Thanks Sean. It's a great combo.

It's surprisingly great on lesser recordings. Don't be scared. It will be alright.Fleetwood Deville by Oswald Mills Audio, Vienna Acoustics Haydn Jubilee, Wharfedale Linton w/ stands, Klipsch RB-75, Klipsch RP-160M.

Joe....I'm thinking that the Studio 2s are so exceptional....they work well in many systems. They are a great match with my ARC REF 150 and my McIntosh MC452.

Re: Dartzeel and Studio2 - Wow! We have a new king ....
The Revels are so good, they are a window to the amp and upstream gear. The Job 225 is absolutely amazing on my studio2. Just a little more forward than the Dartzeel and a little more energetic. Voice is natural but there seems to be a little more space between instruments and voices. I feel for my listening volume that I don't need more power. The Job 225 is fine. Amazingly articulate but the Dartzeel is a little smoother and maybe a little softer but not in a bad way or mushy. The Dartzeel is more natural. For my taste, adding a slightly warmer preamp to the job 225 would be a great combo. I am in shock as to how great the job 225 does on the studio2.

Absolutely and unequivocally yes, they are keepers. I can't wait to get home and switch on my stereo. The Studio2's don't do anything wrong. They are just a supremely satisfying speaker. They do their job without calling attention to any one frequency. They are full range and I love 'em. Originally Posted by Ritmo
