Here’s where real-world experience counts. We suggest consulting your Revel dealer for help in determining the optimum loudspeak- er and listener placement for your listening room. They have been trained by Revel and have the most up-to-date information on proper loudspeaker placement. - Page 13 Where possible, also determine the treatment locations for first ceiling reflections. Your Revel dealer can recommend acoustic treatment materials, and can help determine the best plan for your room. If it is a dedi- cated listening room, qualified room treatment manufacturers or even acousticians may be consulted for optimum results.
