FS: Revel Ultima Gem with Custom Panels

Selling my Revel Gems with custom side panels made from solid oak stained golden honey. I purchased these second hand from a guy who used these as rear surrounds so they didn't get too much use. I opted to use them as stereo speakers and they are superb. Truly excellent almost full range speakers. They dig to ~30hz in my room measured with REW. The speakers were mostly used in my apartment so they were never cranked up. The overall condition of the speakers is great with no visible nicks or scratches. The only flaw is a slight dimple in the tweeter. After having listened to these speakers, I couldn't hear any difference. However, the price reflects this flaw.
The Gems are still regarded by many as an excellent speaker which can compete with the best of the best. Right now I don't plan on shipping these and they do not come with grilles. Local sale in San Diego only. I'll throw in a pair of 27" solid steel, sand filled Pangea stands. They need tall stands to keep the tweeter at ear level and your head between the two woofers.

These are amazing speakers. I've had a lot of gear cycle through our home over the last decade. The Gems are here to stay. I've chased different and these blow away everything else I own or have owned.
Good luck with the sale!

I'm still loving the M22's I bought from @aboroth00 . Trusted seller and what looks to be a fantastic value in an outstanding speaker.

Revel is a brand that doesn't get much play time around here. Excellent speakers kids and the M22's are one of my personal favorite bookies, the Gems are just simply fantastic. Very musical speakers that don't over emphasize any particular spectrum of the signal like some do. Someone needs to grab these, Erniejade....you listening ?
The Ultima sub is no slouch either. If you can find an older b-15 sub, snatch it.HT SYSTEM-

Heard these speakers at Doug Powell's house at a SD get together a couple of years ago.
These are great sounding speakers!
