Revel Performa M126Be Bookshelf Speakers Setup

The Revel Performa M126Be speakers are the bookshelf versions of Revel’s newest Performa speaker line, but this time with beryllium tweeter domes (the “Be” suffix to the model number). And let me say that those tweeters are quite something! Unlike the typical soft dome, that distorts and rolls off before reaching 20kHz; and unlike the typical metal dome, that rings like crazy; Revel’s Beryllium tweeters maintain pistonic motion to more than 40kHz! I find them closer to an electrostatic or ribbon sound of any dome tweeter that I’ve ever heard. But the auditory goodness isn’t limited to the treble! Watch for the upcoming review of the Revel Performa M126Be speakers for the whole story.

I learned to play the guitar in high school, hoping to persuade Berma Sanchez to date me, but alas, no such luck! In the late 1970s, a neighbor who was the station engineer for the local PBS network took me under his wing and taught me the electronics of audio reproduction. Throughout college, I used that knowledge to modify Dynaco vacuum tube equipment for friends. After graduation from LSU, I took a job in the chemical manufacturing industry, learning about industrial hygiene and the mechanics of hearing. In the 1990s I learned to write, initially as the newsletter editor for my local Safety Engineering chapter. In the early 2000s, I had my first book published (I’m now working on my third). A few years ago, the Secrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity website issued a call for authors. I responded and was excited to be selected. Over the years, I’ve published a number of equipment reviews and am honored, in 2019, to be given the title of “Senior Editor.” But none of the above offers the “why” of my interest in home audio. My musical tastes are highly diverse, and my love of music (acquired probably in the church choir of Grace Baptist Church) has been passed on to my daughter, who got her B.S. degree in music and her M.S. in violin performance and music education before being switching gears and then going on to graduate from Harvard Law. Although the majority of my extended group of friends and family prefer hobbies such as hunting, fishing, football games, etc., I’ve found that I still greatly enjoy time with my audio system and discovering new music. At some time in the fairly near future, my hearing will decline and I’ll no longer be able to listen analytically. But so long as my audiograms show acute hearing, I’ll keep doing what I enjoy best - listening to wonderful music and sharing my thoughts and impressions with like-minded friends.
