Ok, this review is going to be a bit unfair: I was expecting stellar performances after reading some reviews. Instead I got just what you'd expect for this price.
At first the sound appears very musical, I would even say flattering. Not very precise, but very enjoyable.
Then I started noticing some distortion, quite obvious on piano solos for example.
Then I noticed that some bass frequencies trigger very loud wind noises through the slit. This is made much worse by the fact that Tannoy decided to pump up the bass to compensate for the speakers' little size - just like a consumer brand would ! The result is that everything sounds the same in the low end, just like on the so-called subwoofer of cheap 2.1 or 5.1 multimedia kits.
Why did they need to exagerate the bass like that ? By generating wind noises and triggering mid-level clipping, it does more harm than good.
There are switches to adjust the trebble level, which I find unnecessary. I would have prefered a switch to tame the bass.
Lastly there seems to be a quality control issue: one of the two speakers I purchased had to be returned because its amount of distortion was just too much. Actually it sounded like the rattling of a badly aligned coil assembly. Then the one I got as a replacement came without its rubber base (which is great, btw... when it's there).
I'm considering returning the pair. Not sure yet though: after all, they're quite inexpensive... And they feel as sturdy as advertised, which is something I was looking for, since I'll need to carry them around quite a bit.
The summarize my impression: the Reveal 402 are unexpensive and convenient speakers, but I would not call them studio monitors.

Got it to play my backing tracks,but it’s a bit like using a racehorse to pull a milkcart. It is amazing for the price and size.
