Decision Time: revel F32's or JMLabs Electra 926


Well I need to replace my Infinity Kappa 7's and have been waiting for the Revel Perfomas all new F32. I was set to go on the Electra 926 or 936. Has anyone seen or heard both. My dilemma: The F32's are gorgeous, have an outstanding bass delivery (I mean deep and controlled) the tweeter seems a little too crisp not in your face but at times piercing. Note these may not be fully broke in yet.
The Electras are not as attractive but have a great detailed tweeter but the bass seems boomy at times, The sound stage on the Revels is outstanding, the Electras is good but not as. Would like some opinions form anyone that has heard both.

See AVS Forum, looks like the Electras are about to be reduced in price (http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=388339). Have you actually _heard_ the F32? I have found one dealer in Berkeley CA who has _just_ received a pair (4/10/04) but that's too far for me to drive with work being so busy.
Sorry, didn't read carefully enough. You have heard the F32s already. Where are you located (what major area)? I'm jealous that you've been able to hear them :-). I've heard the 926 and didn't think it was at all boomy in the bass. Sounds like room positioning and setup have a pretty major effect on perception of bass performance.
