What to understand before floorstanding speakers purchase?

[Al ears]

I have considered the 309 but the listening session was not so convincing. Clearly it's better than mines. But I was not so charmed. The 500 series is a killer one!

I am increasingly considering the Illumine.

If they allow a home trial you'd be mad not to.

100€ for shipping if disappointing but affordable.
My trouble is that it would be disrespectful for the huge job this guy has done.

I want to make a decision on my own and assume.

I am about to place an order.

I understand,however 100 euro for shipping is cheap if it saves 2400 euro of disappointment.....

Please let us know how you get on with them, always good to hear people's experience with less well known brands.
Until recently I had never heard of Revival Audio and now they seem to be getting rave reviews.

Got me curious, design seem like old school and I meant that as a compliment. eBay selling the Atalante 3 version <£2K.

French brands like Atolls, 3A Acoustics, Devialet, Elipson and Focal's are well known if not amazing brands.

I suggest a comparison of several ones.
Do not neglect Corbière. It used to be vinegar 40years ago but the Voulte Gasparet cuvée Romain Pauc or the Cuvée N.3 are …. A poem in a glass
