Floor-standing Speakers

A floor-standing speaker incorporating twin 6.5″ woofers and a 6″ midrange mounted on a rigid die-cast chassis; this combination delivers a rich, controlled bass output with superb dynamic performance.

QUAD’s Director of Acoustics, Peter Comeau, has furthered his ground-breaking engineering work in further developing this Ribbon HF with over four years of research to bring a new level of musical delicacy, smoothness and ‘hear-through’ performance, thus revealing beautiful details of your music collection with a truly breath-taking performance.


Reveal™

The advanced ‘True Ribbon’ unit is married to equally high-performance bass and midrange drivers. Again, subject to many years of research, development, testing and continuous innovation, the mid and bass drivers feature a new advanced fibre composition, aptly labelled ‘Reveal™’. Refined for seamless integration with the ‘True Ribbon’ HF, the smooth diaphragm drivers were purpose selected based on their rigidity and excellent self-damping properties. This new diaphragm, combined with a new, specially developed custom rubber surround, for a greater excursion and a new high-power motor system, means that the result is a superb bass performance, with power, depth, speed and articulation in abundance. And, of course, putting it all together is a phase-compensated Acoustic Butterworth crossover resulting from not only Computer-Aided Design but also hundreds of hours of critical listening tests using all types and flavours of music to achieve perfection.


Polished to Perfection

The Revela series continues QUAD’s industrial design evolution, sported in the models of recent years – such as the Vena and Artera series. The Revela series cabinets are skilfully hand-finished to a quality far exceeding that of relative competitors in this class. The Revela series is available in options of a polished real-wood veneer and seamless polished-paint finish or a simple and uber-classy ‘all-black’ glossy paint finish. In either finish, the Revela cabinets are a sight to behold! The precision-fitted baffle is seamlessly joined, also with a polished finish, for a presentation of the highest order. More than just a genuinely stunning furniture-quality piece of craftsmanship, the cabinet is internally braced, using a purpose-engineered structure connected to the cabinet panels in a manner that dissipates unwanted vibrations and resonances, thus maintaining structural rigidity, even under the most strenuous of performances. More than just a photobook-quality design!


Free-flowing Purity

Adding to the highly effective innovations in QUAD Revela, the port tube design is precisely positioned with the optimum diameter and flaring to prevent longitudinal resonances from colouring the speaker’s performance. The low and midrange frequencies can perform with a free-flowing purity and no unintended resonance or boominess – giving you the full dynamics of your music.

A serious statement piece from QUAD, the Revela series is the culmination of more than four years of development. It offers advanced technology, beautiful looks and breath-taking performance, all combined masterfully for ‘The Closest Approach To The Original Sound’.

Overall Score 93/100

Rating for [object Object]

Deliciously Crispy

Deep, controlled bass, a coherent midrange and airy ribbon highs give the REVELA 2 an expansive, 3‑D soundstage. Reviewers at HiFi News and Positive Feedback praised its timing, imaging and premium finish, calling it an exceptional value for listeners seeking reference‑grade imaging and musical authority.

HiFi News

"The Revela 2 revelled and revealed. Even if you're not in the market, you need to hear these."

Pros

  • Deep, controlled bass with weight and extension that can reduce reliance on subwoofers.
  • Open, detailed treble from the true ribbon that provides air and high‑frequency resolution.
  • Exceptional imaging and expansive 3‑D soundstage with precise instrument and vocal placement.
  • High-quality build and finish that belies the price, delivering standout value for performance.

&

Cons

  • Ribbon treble can be forward if speakers aren’t carefully toed-in and tilted; setup is important to tame HF energy.
  • Two rear-firing ports mean you must avoid close wall placement to preserve bass control.
  • Only a single pair of binding posts (no bi-wiring/bi-amping), which limits wiring flexibility for some users.

Sound Quality

94/100

Weighted average of sub-criteria below.

Bass

94/100

Twin 165mm (6.5") woofers and rear ports deliver deep, controlled bass (–6dB @35Hz). Multiple reviewers described powerful, room-filling low end and said they could 'live with the Revela 2s without the subs' and praised the weight and control of the bass, supporting an excellent bass performance for this driver/cabinet class.

Mid

94/100

150mm middriver yields clean, well-textured midrange: reviewers repeatedly praised vocal presence, body and coherence ('lovely mids', 'breathy notes had such presence', 'cleaner midrange'), indicating very strong mid performance.

Treble

93/100

27x60mm true ribbon provides open, airy and detailed highs ('exquisite, sparkling highs', 'generous amount of air'). A few comments warn of too much HF energy if not adjusted/positioned properly, so slightly tempered from perfect reference.

Soundstage Imaging

95/100

Multiple reviews note outstanding 3-D imaging and the speaker's ability to disappear, with distinct layering and precise instrument/voice placement ('exquisite 3-d soundstage', 'each vocalist had his own space', images more distinct than S-5).

Dynamics

94/100

Reviewers reported strong micro and macro dynamics, punch and impact ('punchy, so vivid', 'dynamics were noticeably improved', 'impact, mass and depth'), indicating excellent dynamic behaviour for the design and price.

Show Less

Build Quality

94/100

Heavy, well-braced cabinets with radiused edges, substantial plinth and adjustable stainless spikes; reviewers mention internal bracing and premium finishes (piano walnut/black) and commented that the construction felt like it belonged on more expensive speakers.

Features Connectivity

80/100

Passive baseline applied. Single pair of high-quality binding posts; no DSP/app/streaming — which is expected for a passive tower.

Value for Money

95/100

Multiple reviewers explicitly called the Revela 2 a 'bargain' or 'what may be the biggest bargain in floor standers', noted its affordable MSRP relative to performance, and said the build/finish/sonics punch well above the price, supporting a strong value rating.
