Revel Speakers M20 Performa Bookshelf Loudspeakers Revel M20 Performa pair of speakers. Great reference speakers - see reviews recommended by Stereophile. Has scratches and dings commensurate with age. They need a sturdy stand as each speaker is nearly 20kgs ( well braced cabinets). Still amazing sound and imaging selling due to an upgrade/surplus. No sock( grill), feet or stands in sale. One woofer a small nick in the rubber roll. Might be a simple repair for someone with know how. Pick up only due to size and weight. Condition: Good Payment Method: Cash only Region/State: (NSW) New South
Buyer’s market: A$500 is a good buy for these, assuming the cabinets and drivers are healthy. The M20 is a respected older Revel standmount, and on today’s used market it usually sits in the broader A$700–A$1,100 neighborhood depending on condition, finish, and whether the original stands/grilles are included, so this asking price lands below the middle of the pack.
What makes it worth chasing is the sound: these are known for clean midrange, smooth treble, and unusually refined imaging for a compact two-way, with enough bass reach to avoid sounding thin in a good room. At this price, the main thing to verify is simple but important: both drivers working cleanly, no foam/surround or dome damage, and no water-swollen veneer or crossover issues from age. If it’s tidy and complete, it looks like a solid enthusiast buy.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Revel Speakers: Brand Overview
Revel was founded in 1996 by Dr. Sidney Harman, who challenged his engineering team with a singular directive: "Make the world's best loudspeakers." Based in Stamford, Connecticut, and operating its primary acoustic research facility in Northridge, California, the brand emerged as a division of Harman International Industries with unprecedented resources for a startup. This backing allowed Revel to immediately establish itself as a leader in high-end audio manufacturing and distribution across multiple countries—a position typically unattainable for independent newcomers.
The company specializes exclusively in loudspeakers, ranging from compact bookshelf models to full-range floorstanding systems, center channels, and powered subwoofers. Revel's product philosophy centers on precision engineering and scientific rigor, with every loudspeaker developed through thousands of hours of listening tests, psychoacoustic research, and computer-aided modeling. The brand's current Performa4 series represents the culmination of three decades of acoustic innovation, featuring seventh-generation waveguide technology and proprietary transducer materials designed to deliver music with minimal coloration.
Revel occupies the premium high-end segment of the audio market, commanding respect among serious audiophiles and home theater enthusiasts. The brand's reputation rests on its commitment to acoustic accuracy and transparency rather than aesthetic trends, positioning it as a benchmark for loudspeaker excellence. Since 2002, Revel has operated under Harman International (a Samsung subsidiary since 2017), ensuring continued investment in research and development that keeps the brand at the forefront of loudspeaker technology.
