{"product_id":"revivalaudioatalante5walnut","title":"Revival Audio Atalante 5 Bookshelf Speaker, Walnut (Pair)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Revival Audio Atalante 5 is a 3-way bookshelf speaker in large monitor format that combines a 30 cm basalt woofer with an unusually large midrange dome. With it, the manufacturer from Alsace launched the Atalante series in 2022 – designed by a team with roots at Dynaudio and Focal, in warm Walnut real wood veneer and with the unmistakable belt-and-knot design from the Parisian studio A+A Cooren.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Atalante 5?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere real volume is at work, not slim cosmetics. The 30 cm woofer with basalt sandwich cone (BSC) moves plenty of air while staying controlled – volume in a speaker is like displacement in an engine: nothing replaces it. Above it sits a large 75 mm soft-dome midrange with ARID Plus technology, a design that renders voices especially embodied and detached from the cabinet. The treble is handled by a 28 mm dome with an unusually low resonance frequency of 520 Hz, giving silky, fatigue-free highs. None of it comes off the shelf: Revival builds its own drivers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScale, in the best sense. The Atalante 5 plays with a power and effortlessness usually only known from much larger floorstanders. The bass reaches down to 28 Hz, dry and contoured rather than bloated; voices and instruments stand vivid in the room with real body. It can be delicate, and it can dig in – late-night jazz just as much as a big live recording at elevated levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Atalante 5 suited for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor larger rooms from around 30 square metres upward that can take and fill a full-grown monitor. \u003cstrong\u003eStraight talk:\u003c\/strong\u003e despite its name, this bookshelf speaker doesn't belong on a shelf or a sideboard – it needs sturdy stands that bring the tweeter to ear height, otherwise you give away the spatial imaging. And the impedance drops to 3.2 ohms at 110 Hz: a load-stable amplifier is a must, a tiny 8-watt tube amp is politely but firmly turned away here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Atalante 5 is the large monitor Revival Audio launched with – and it still shows what the brand stands for today: classic looks, modern technology, honest sound. We in Wädenswil like it for exactly what it is: a speaker with substance that makes big music big.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the press says:\u003c\/strong\u003e \"Rarely has a relaunch in the fiercely contested speaker segment succeeded as well as with this brand and this model.\" (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.hifitest.de\/test\/lautsprecher-stereo\/revival-audio-atalante-5-22212\"\u003ehifitest 3\/2023\u003c\/a\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical data\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesign: 3-way bookshelf speaker (monitor), bass reflex (rear-ported)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTweeter: 28 mm soft dome with ARID technology (resonance frequency 520 Hz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMidrange: 75 mm soft dome with ARID Plus technology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWoofer: 300 mm (12\") BSC (Basalt Sandwich Construction)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency response: 28 Hz to 22,000 Hz (±3 dB)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSensitivity: 89 dB (2.83 V \/ 1 m)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNominal impedance: 4 ohms (minimum 3.2 ohms at 110 Hz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrossover frequencies: 450 Hz and 3.5 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower handling: 200 W (recommended amplifier power from 30–50 W, ideally 100–200 W)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended room size: 30 to 60 m²\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Walnut real wood veneer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions (H × W × D): 710 × 420 × 355 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 33 kg per unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScope of delivery: 2 × Atalante 5, two-piece magnetic front covers, instruction manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the Atalante 5 need speaker stands?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, absolutely. The tweeter needs to be at ear height for the spatial imaging to work – placing it directly on a shelf or sideboard gives away sound quality. Ideal is the matching Atalante 5 Stand, which brings the speaker to the right height and, thanks to its weight, delivers a clean, calm bass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat amplifier suits the Atalante 5?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt plays from 30 to 50 watts, unfolding its full potential with 100 to 200 watts on a load-stable amplifier. The impedance drops to 3.2 ohms at 110 Hz, so it feels most at home with powerful transistor amplifiers. Small tube amps quickly reach their limits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow deep does the bass of the Atalante 5 go?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDown to 28 Hz (±3 dB) – deep bass usually expected from large floorstanders. The 30 cm basalt woofer delivers it dry and controlled rather than mushy. For the full effect it needs room: from around 30 square metres it can show what it's made of.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAtalante 5 or Atalante 4 – which suits better?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Atalante 5 is the large bookshelf monitor with a 30 cm woofer and extension down to 28 Hz; the Atalante 4 is the slimmer floorstander with two 18 cm woofers down to 38 Hz. The 5 pulls more punch and deep bass in a large room, the 4 is more space-saving and needs no stand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy buy the Revival Audio Atalante 5 at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause advice here is more than a spec sheet: we work out with you the room, placement, matching stands and the right amplifier so the Atalante 5 really opens up.
