Revival Audio Sprint Loudspeakers Land in Australia This Month
Revival Audio's Sprint 3 and Sprint 4 loudspeakers are designed, engineered and tuned in France and are the newly-established hi-fi company's bookshelf and floorstanding offerings.
Revival Audio's new Sprint series consists of the Sprint 3 two-way bookshelf loudspeaker and its 2.5-way floorstanding stablemate, the Sprint 4. Both boast Revival's "innovative Elytron Acoustic Baffle design", a lightweight, high-strength material crafted asymmetrically to "guide the soundwaves as they leave the speaker." Revival claims this "optimises the mid and low frequencies by reducing the diffraction from the speaker cabinet while minimising the impact from different listening environments."
We're told that the French loudspeaker company is born from almost four decades of expertise and know-how behind many top-tier speaker brands based in France, Denmark and the USA.
Following on from the high-end Atalante range, its new Sprint 3 and 4 models feature a 28mm soft-dome tweeter with Revival's patented ARID (Anti Reflection Inner Dome) tech that promises to absorb unwanted resonances. Both also utilise Basalt Sandwich Construction 7-inch (17.8cm) woofers for their "rigid and lightweight design."
The Sprint 4 floorstander has foot spikes for stability, vibration absorption and better sound imaging. Meanwhile, Sprint 3 can be placed on Revival's optional speaker stands.
The 380mm x 213mm x 307mm Sprint 3 has a stated frequency response of 55Hz-22kHz (+/- 3dB) and a 6-ohm nominal impedance, whereas the Sprint 4 measures 1060mm x 213mm x 307mm and claims a nominal impedance of 4 ohms and 45Hz-22kHz frequency response with crossovers at 1.6kHz and 2.2kHz.
Unapologetically retro in aesthetics and co-designed with the award-winning A+A Cooren Design Studio, the Sprint series speakers are offered in Blonde Oak, Walnut, or Matte Black finishes and become available this month. The Revival Audio Sprint 3 is priced at $1,750 RRP (optional stands are available), while the Sprint 4 costs $3,200 RRP and both will be available in late March 2023.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
