{"product_id":"revivalaudiosprint4blondoak","title":"Revival Audio Sprint 4 Floorstanding Speaker, Blond Oak (Pair)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Revival Audio Sprint 4 is a 2.5-way floorstanding speaker that brings the driver and cabinet technology of the pricier Atalante series down into an affordable floorstander class.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeveloped in Alsace by Daniel Emonts – an acoustician who previously helped shape entire driver generations as chief acoustic engineer at Focal and Dynaudio – and dressed by the Parisian design studio A+A Cooren. That's a lot of pedigree for a floorstander around CHF 1,800. You hear it, and you see it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Sprint 4?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt its core, the Sprint 4 is a Sprint 3 stretched upward, with one decisive twist: instead of a single woofer, it uses two \u003cstrong\u003e180 mm drivers with a basalt sandwich cone (BSC)\u003c\/strong\u003e – one for bass and midrange, one for pure bass. This 2.5-way principle gives the slim column the midrange foundation that conventional 2-way floorstanders often lack. Basalt – actual volcanic rock – is stiff, well-damped and light at the same time, which produces a bass that grips dry instead of booming. Up front sits the curved \u003cstrong\u003eElytron baffle\u003c\/strong\u003e, which guides sound around the cabinet edge and largely avoids edge diffraction – letting the soundstage detach from the speakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA floorstander that organizes before it impresses. Voices sit clearly centered, the stage reaches well beyond the narrow front, and the bass stays cleanly contoured rather than mushy even at pace. Treble duties go to a \u003cstrong\u003e28 mm RASC fabric dome with an ARID chamber\u003c\/strong\u003e, which absorbs most of the rearward sound and keeps the highs fine and effortless. The magnetic Elytron front sits without visible mounting points – clean if you leave it on, a touch more direct if you take it off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Sprint 4 for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor medium to larger rooms of around 30 to 60 m², and for anyone who wants genuine floorstander depth with design ambition without stepping straight into the upper class. \u003cstrong\u003ePlain talk:\u003c\/strong\u003e at 89 dB sensitivity and a minimum impedance of 3.8 ohms at 200 Hz, the Sprint 4 isn't undemanding – it wants an amplifier that delivers current stably, sensibly from around 30 to 50 watts up. It's too good for background music on the side; it wants to be listened to. And if you're after the very last word in subbass slam for home cinema, add a subwoofer. Honest talk: a column this size doesn't belong in the storage closet – give it about 40 cm of breathing room from the back wall and it opens up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sprint 4 is one of the most convincing floorstanding speakers around CHF 1,800: upper-class technology from the Atalante family, honestly scaled down, in a column that doesn't overwhelm the living room. At HD Zürisee in Wädenswil, we rate it as an uncomplicated entry into genuine floorstander authority – and after a few hours of break-in, it steps up again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the trade press says:\u003c\/strong\u003e Top class, 5\/5 stars – \"The Sprint 4 is the next big move from Revival Audio.\" (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.hifitest.de\/test\/lautsprecher-stereo\/revival-audio-sprint-4-22446\"\u003ehifitest 6\/2023\u003c\/a\u003e).

Because impedance dips to 3.8 ohms at 200 Hz, it shouldn't sag under low loads. With a strong amp behind it, the Sprint 4 shows its full dynamics and depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow big should the room be for the Sprint 4?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt feels at home in medium to larger rooms of around 30 to 60 m². In very small rooms, the double basalt bass can become dominant – there, the more compact Sprint 3 is often the smarter choice. Some distance from the wall benefits it either way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much space from the back wall does the Sprint 4 need?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlan for at least around 40 cm from the back wall. The Sprint 4 is rear-ported; standing too close to the wall makes the bass overemphasized and less precise. With some breathing room, the Elytron front also unfolds its spatial depth noticeably better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's the difference between the Sprint 4 and the Sprint 3?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Sprint 3 is a compact 2-way bookshelf speaker, the Sprint 4 a 2.5-way floorstander with two basalt drivers. The Sprint 4 plays deeper, bigger and more assured, and suits larger rooms; the Sprint 3 is the space-saving, easier-to-place option.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the Sprint 4 need a subwoofer?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor music, generally not – its reach down to 45 Hz covers most of it. If you want to fill out a home cinema with the deepest tones or want the very last word in subbass, you can add a subwoofer without any trouble. For pure stereo, it plays on its own, balanced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat colors is the Sprint 4 available in?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Sprint 4 comes in three finishes: Walnut, Blond Oak and Black (matte). The dark Elytron front sets a fine contrast against the wood finishes and blends in discreetly on the black model. So there's a variant to suit almost any interior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy buy the Revival Audio Sprint 4 at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause with us, a person with listening experience advises you, not a shipping algorithm.
