Frequently Asked Questions - W553L Revel
What is the recommended placement for the Revel W553L speakers?
Place the speakers at least 2 feet (60 cm) from the back wall to allow the rear port to breathe. Angle them slightly inward toward the listening position for optimal imaging. Ensure they are on a stable, level surface.
Can I bi-wire or bi-amp the W553L?
The W553L has a single pair of binding posts, not bi-wire capable. If you want to bi-amp, you can modify the crossover or use an external speaker switch. Standard single-wire connection is recommended for best performance.
What is the break-in period for these speakers?
Allow 50-100 hours of moderate playback for the drivers and suspension to reach optimal performance. The sound will become more open and dynamic after break-in.
How do I clean the speaker grille and cabinet?
Remove the grille by gently pulling it off. Use a soft brush or vacuum with low suction to remove dust. Wipe the cabinet with a dry microfiber cloth. Avoid any liquids or cleaning chemicals.
What amplifier power is recommended for the W553L?
Revel recommends 50 to 200 watts RMS per channel. The speakers are 8 ohms nominal and 90 dB sensitivity, so they work well with a wide range of amplifiers, from high-quality receivers to dedicated power amps.
Are the W553L speakers magnetically shielded?
No, they are not magnetically shielded. Keep them at least 12 inches (30 cm) away from CRT televisions or other sensitive equipment to avoid interference.
What type of speaker wire should I use?
Use high-quality 12-14 AWG speaker wire with banana plugs or bare wire. Ensure tight connections to the binding posts. For longer runs (over 25 ft), use 12 AWG wire.
Can the W553L be used as a home theater front speaker?
Yes, they are excellent as front left and right speakers. Pair with a Revel center channel and subwoofer for a matched system. The W553L's dynamic range and clarity suit both music and movies.
