The
Ear – Best Buy – Best of 2023
“The Revival Atalante 3s are one of those rare products
that this reviewer really does not want to pack-up and return. In fact this is
so unappealing that I have decided to buy a pair, my first speaker purchase in
over a decade. They are clearly well-engineered, beautifully constructed and
offer a value-for-money option for high-quality listening.”
Best of High
End – 9.5/10
“…the Atalante 3 immediately gave me goosebumps with its
tremendous soundstaging (both wide and deep) and its notably better detail
retrieval that pulls you into the music. This is an engaging speaker!”
What Hi-Fi?
“Darn these Atalante 3s: they were showing us things our
usual reference speakers don’t do. Only reluctantly did we pack them back up.
What a debut performance to deliver! The Atalante 3 makes good on the French
company’s claims of hi-fi engineering expertise, the benefits of controlling
every element of the design, the sheer solidity of sound that quality cabinetry
and innovative driver design can deliver.”
Diapason – Gold Award
"The ATALANTE 3 charmed us with their very beautiful
spatialization and their absence of directivity, their carefully worked tonal
balance with ample and consistent bass, and their balanced subtly descending
tonal giving the feeling of having significantly larger speakers in front of
you.
This specific way of giving materiality to music is
accompanied by great respect for the propagation regime, on the three axes:
tonality (respect for timbres), energy (instantaneous dynamics) and time (phase
and specialization). The Atalante 3, a future classic for sure."

“You’d be hard pressed to find a more impressive debut
from a loudspeaker company than Revival Audio’s Atalante 3. The wealth of
industry experience and technical nous that has clearly gone into this release,
belies a company whose understanding of the industry extends far beyond their
two years as a company. The Atalante 3 with its broad soundstage and attention
to detail is a classy and confident release from one of the most exciting new
brands in Hi-Fi.”

“This loudspeaker has a fine resolution and delivers an
impressive spatial representation. The crystal-clear and tight fundamental tone
reproduction is also impressive. The mids and highs blend into one another
homogeneously. This creates a truly congruent sound image that impresses in
both quiet and loud passages. The sound is complemented by excellent material
and workmanship.”

Tech Reviews – Highly Recommended
“Longer listening reveals that we are dealing with a pair
of very neutral and linear speakers. They don’t have typical monitor sound that
highlights details and imperfections. But it’s all there. And what seemed like
a slightly featureless reproduction turns out to be, for the price range, an
astonishing absence of intrinsic colouring. Whether this is due to the
extremely well-damped cabinets, the extreme magnetic damping or the braided
lava rock diaphragm material is not known. But the overall result is magical.”
hi-fi+
“It’s a bold move for a start-up to make its drive units,
especially in a speaker that doesn’t cost as much as a Mercedes Benz. But it’s
also a bold move that clearly pays dividends for the Revival Audio Atalante 3.”
“I think we are watching the birth of a new leader in loudspeaker design and
with some real staying power.”
