Revival Audio Sprint 4 speakers

The Revival Audio Sprint 4 are 2.5-way floor-standing speakers that feature technology from the manufacturer's ATALANTE range.

Revival Audio Sprint 4: Speakers

High frequencies are handled by a 28mm RASC soft dome super tweeter. This also receives the integrated patented ARID (Anti-Reflection Inner Dome) technology. The rear speaker chamber is designed to absorb more than 95% of the resonances generated by the moving assembly. Its asymmetrical suspension provides more linear guidance without dome resonance. The oversized magnet achieves an efficiency of 91 dB. The mid/bass is entrusted to the superb 18 cm speaker equipped with a BSC (Basalt Sandwich Construction) membrane. This material provides a superb compromise between rigidity and lightness. The bass is entrusted to a superb 18 cm speaker equipped with a BSC (Basalt Sandwich Construction) membrane. This material provides a superb compromise between rigidity and lightness. This helps deliver a fast, smooth response with excellent low-frequency dynamics. Basalt is used here on these two speakers in a unique way. This lava stone extract offers similar characteristics to fiberglass but with a better Young modulus (mechanical stress). It is also an eco-sustainable material. The Sandwich construction of the membrane consists of 3 layers: a specially defined felt is applied to the back of the basalt membrane and a specialized polymer glue is in between, which achieves the best possible cushioning. The HP BSC, with its lightness and rigidity, gives excellent transient response, fast and fluid with dynamic and tight bass. At Revival Audio, the filter is designed to listen by placing real components on a test board and measuring and listening to the results with each modification. This allows precise optimization and is fully matched to the speakers and load.

Revival Audio Sprint 4: Boxset

The speaker baffle receives a counter baffle fixed by magnets. This proprietary “ELYTRON” baffle is a Revival Audio design. This was developed during hundreds of hours of simulation. It allows you to control directivity and diffraction. The ELYTRON is made of high-rigidity composite materials to ensure perfect stability. The asymmetrical shape with specially defined curved angles improves high frequency directivity. It acts as a waveguide and optimizes performance in the midrange and low frequencies by reducing the diffraction impact of the body. In addition, this baffle improves the sound image by making it more precise and more balanced, while minimizing the impact of listening locations. The ELYTRON receives a speaker cover fabric grille attached from the back of it. It can therefore be easily removed. The rear of the speaker receives a magnificent single-wiring terminal block. This is compatible with banana plugs or forks. Above we find the mouth of two large vents which justify the double Bass/Reflex charge. The entire box rests on a steel base equipped with 4 brass cones which offers excellent decoupling from the ground.

Revival Audio Sprint 4: Testing and listening

We positioned the Revival Audio Sprint 4 50 cm from the rear wall and spaced them 3 m apart. I think these speakers are perfectly suited to rooms with a surface area between 25 and 55 m². To remain consistent we associated the Revival Audio Sprint 4 with an amplifier below 2500 euros and around a hundred watts. The Revival Audio Sprint 4 is ideal for medium-sized rooms and offers not only a beautiful look but also top-notch reproduction. They sound incredibly true in terms of timbre. They deliver a sound of impressive purity and neutrality but without being dull or boring. The Revival Audio Sprint 4 can offer a significant sound level with surprising impact and dynamics. But she also knows how to reproduce instruments with great nuance and finesse. The Sprint 4 adapt easily to all musical styles. The mid/treble is reproduced with superb realism and transmits all the emotions present in the music. It can be colored, its association with the 28mm tweeter is an undeniable success. High frequencies are transcribed with precision and smoothness. The Sprint 4 fills the room with ease and plenty of elegance. The musicality is there whatever the style of music listened to. A quality amplifier is of course necessary, but not necessarily a great need for power. These speakers are relatively easy to drive. The lower end is muscular and very articulate and precise. The Sprint 4 offers remarkable balance for a speaker in this range. The Revival Audio Sprint 4 totally won us over with their reproduction and musicality. Revival Audio offers music lovers a pair of high-performance and incredibly musical speakers at an incredible price! In this category, the Sprint 4 sets a new benchmark and offers exceptional value for money.

Highly recommended +++
