Ok..good to know...I was wondering if maybe Bit was referring to either a different series or a previous version...

Has anyone used or had any sort of experience with the Tannoy Reveal series?

Here's a GS thread you may find interesting:

I am definitely not referring to the MR series, but rather the venerable HR824, which I'm pretty sure is not ported. Somebody correct me if my memory is mistaken. There is a vent for the amplifier's heatsink that could be mistaken for a port.

Bit is right - the HR824 are NOT ported.

That's what I figured....unfortunately those are WAY out of my price range...

Well, as long as you keep them away from the wall, you should be able to manage w/ ported monitors. Worst case, an old pair of socks in the ports can help... ;)

What puzzles me w/ the MR is that they have a switch to actually BOOST the low end (and the high end as well). The opposite, or at least the option to cut some, would have made more sense, imho.

I'm just a caveman...your hi-tech solutions to audio problems frighten and confuse me...   ;)


I have a pair of Mordaunt-Short speakers on one of my hi-fi systems that I've had to utilize that trick with..it works...but does seem to change the overall sonic signature.

Certain drivers seem to want certain design factors in place....a certain size box, sealed vs ported, even a specific crossover order in some cases...and sometimes it seems if you change up those factors, you pay for it someplace else.

But.....I do have an abundance of overworn socks.... :)

Mackie HR series have tuned passive radiators instead of ports. One inevitable issue with listening to any monitor in any environment other than your installed environment is that your listening will be skewed in any circumstance. It makes as much sense to rely on trusted reviews than to assume you can make a sound judgment based on listening tests at guitar center etc. If you can purchase them and return if you're not satisfied - then at least you're giving them a fair listen.
