Music hangs together well, with better-than-decent organisation and an admirable sense of rhythm, while there is enough in the way of dynamic range to convey intensity and bring podcasts and radio talk shows to life. The Revival iStream 3, however, is supremely competent. Timing and dynamics is where a lot of wireless speakers around this price – let alone a radio with a features list as long as this – leave us cold or, worse, irritated.
The Revival iStream 3 has a warm, welcoming character, with focus on a rich midrange that celebrates vocals without rolling off the treble or packing in more bass weight than a cabinet of this size can properly handle.
