Quad Revela 2 Loudspeaker $4495 Review
March 8, 2024 Comments Off on Quad Revela 2 Loudspeaker $4495 Review
The Revela 2 extends the lineage of the S-5. It uses a similar formula, but improves. Did that new Butterworth crossover contribute to the wonderfully clean and almost undetectable crossover points? Likely. I also think the new wood-pulp and artificial-fiber drivers enhanced the overall easy-going flow, and help to provide the Revela 2 with a coherence that few speakers in this price range can provide. I’m sure the heavy and solid cabinets with the radiused edges and new internal bracing don’t hurt either. The outstanding cabinet construction could easily lead you to believe these speakers were more expensive.
HEDD AUDIO HEDDPHONE TWO REVIEW

The new HEDD AMT driver now is more precise and lighter than before. It has been reconstructed from the ground up, and it according to HEDD ensures that every sonic detail is more vivid and lifelike than ever before. With their VVT – Variable Velocity Transformation, HEDD allows the AMT driver to achieve even frequency response across the entire audio spectrum. You can find out more about the AMT drivers on HEDD’s website linked above.
HEDDphone TWO is the culmination of three years of relentless R&D. Every aspect has been refined for an unparalleled audio experience.
The changes however are not only driver related. There also is a new carbon-fiber headband which is ultra-light and durable. We also have an ergonomic head pad which reduces pressure, and there is a smart strap system which adjusts the shape and tension. The PU leather ear pads are comfortable, even with glasses and the TWO features forward-facing connections producing a more natural cable direction.

I spent a couple of weeks running them in, loud and hard and soft and sweet, playing all kinds of music, internet radio—even using them as the world’s most expensive TV speakers, all in the interest of loosening them up and getting them to their ideal operating condition. Over that time, I didn’t hear much change in the top end or midrange, but the bass got bigger, especially deep bass. On J.S. Bach’s Toccata, Adagio and Fugue, played by Virgil Fox on the direct-to-disc LP The Fox Touch Volume One (Crystal Clear Records CCS-7001), the famous growl and rumble of the biggest pipes in the former Crystal Cathedral was satisfyingly room-shaking after this multiday sound workout, whereas at first it sounded too constrained.
The speakers were located roughly where my larger-footprint 808s had been, but at this point, their sound didn’t seem to fill the room as much. Was it just a matter of me adjusting to a modern, more pronounced tweeter, or did their position need adjusting?

I found “Ballet Music” from Faust on Qobuz, at 24/88.2, a king of audiophile recordings. From the opening low brass invocation to the triangles and upper woodwinds’ answer, and then the delicate violins on the main theme, the playback was superb. And very detailed. This was among the best sounds I’ve heard, wires or no wires. Very impressive.
On Miles Davis’ Live Around the World, “Time After Time” (Cyndi Lauper cover) reminded me, that even though time and troubles had cost Miles at least a couple of steps (and under so much Unity scrutiny, it reminded me how much I dislike “whoop whoop” posers when it’s quiet and the artist has played one note), Miles still has enough in his tank to break your heart. Cyndi Lauper never had it so good. The clarity afforded this track by the Unity allowed me to hear every embouchure move no matter how minute. Exquisite sound and artistry.
