my band is about to get our record mastered.

i just got back a mastered sample of one of our songs, and it sounded horrible compared to the original pre-master, but i know it doesn't have to be this way.

JA your fan REG is at it again:

I'm just wondering why there are no reviews of any of the current Revel Performa speakers...
Considering that both the M20 and F30 from the prior line were rated Class A, I would have thought someone at Stereophile might be anxious to try out their successors... I know I'm anxious to see what the mag thinks of them
