Description: Lurking in the corner on a Sanus stand, an Aragon Palladium 1K monobloc. The voltage sags at the nuclear power plant up the road when I turn it on, but it is capable of exquisite delicacy and possesses a vanishingly low noise floor. Sorry, Stereophile, you missed the boat when you missed reviewing the Palladium. :-)

As you may know, I was the one that gave the Hales Rev.3 a highly favorable review in Stereophile. I have fond memories of the Rev.3, and I still think of it as an outstandingly fine speaker at and well above its price. I was surprised and sorry when the company went out of business, after its acquisition by Wadia. Last I heard, Paul Hales was designing pro audio speakers.

Hey HalesFan, I am one also. I've owned a pair of Revelation Threes for eight years now and just acquired a used pair of Transcendence Eights. Eventually, once I get moved into bigger digs, the Trans. Eights will be my fronts and the Rev. Threes will be my surrounds. I also have a Revelation Center.


Something you may want to try is raise the Rev. Threes about 3 to 4 inches off the floor. When I did this the imaging improved big time. (Hales did offer a platform with this speaker.) Evidently, raising them nullifies some of the acoustic problems caused by floor bounce. I use 4 inch cinder blocks, but anything fairly solid should do the trick.

I heard a pair of those Palladiums and did deserve to be reviewed.
