For sale is an excellent condition pair of Revel M20 monitor speakers. The cosmetic condition is very good as you can see by the pics. As for performance, they are perfect and I doubt you can find a better monitor for this price. Extremely large sound for a monitor. Google for reviews, both professional and user reviews are stellar. In fact the M20s were rated Class A in Stereophile and were given a Reviewer's Choice Award by Soundstage.

I am the second owner and have used them for a couple years. The original owner used them with the little feet attached and there is some sun fade from the feet. Not really noticeable unless you're looking for it. The cabinets do have some minor wear as would be expected, but overall they are beautiful speakers. These are sequential serial numbers which means the cherry veneer is perfectly matched as the pics show.

The speaker drivers are perfect. They will come with the original packing material, grills (good shape), feet with mounting screws and spikes, and manual.

FREE SHIPPING which is substantial. If buyer is local and picks the speakers up I'll discount the price. Paypal is preferred payment method. Feel free to ask questions. A few pics.

Wow. Just gorgeous. If I didn't already have a good pair I'd snap these up in a minute.
I'm thinking about buying them anyway. A true classic speaker, of super quality, wonderfully transparent and uncolored, some of the deepest bass response of any stand mount. The room placement adjustment is surprisingly effective for close wall or bookshelf placement.
They are built to last forever, sound great as is, and by simply replacing the tweeter caps and adding cabinet damping they leapfrog most $3k monitors made today sonically and in build quality.

I was going to link your upgrade thread. Thanks.

I was going to link your upgrade thread. Thanks.
I'm thrilled at how they turned out. For a few $ for a sheet of 1" Sonic Barrier and 4 Sonicaps or ClarityCaps they are amazing. I smile every time I hear mine.
The woofer cap upgrade didn't do much for them, so I'd just keep it simple, add damping, swapping tweeter caps, and removing half or 2/3 of the fiberglass stuffing (there is quite a lot of it, and with the wall damping it is overkill). A nice afternoon project.
John Atkinson's Stereophile review was quite accurate, I found. The few sonic nitpicks he mentioned were removed by the upgrade, to my delight.
Good luck!
