Focal Electra BE series

Can anyone give feedback on Focal Electra BE series either 1028be or 1038be, possibly even 1027 or 1037 be series.
Currently have Revel Performa3 F206 and love their natural, clear and faithful to the music uncolored sound. They just aren't efficient enough and need more power handling to push a little louder at times. 
I'm looking for 89-90 or better sensitivity and 300-400 watt power handling.
My front end components are Benchmark DAC2, Ayre K5xemp preamp and Mark Levinson 532h amp rated at 300+ wpc. 
I've heard new Focal Kanta and they sounded excellent,  Electra BE series are a slight step up and are great deals right now. Haven't got a dealer near by to audition. Trying to keep to a slightly smaller than 45" inch tall speaker.

I recently picked up a pair of the Focal Electra 1008 BE monitors for my computer room system and have been extremely happy with them.  Very detailed and easy to listen to.  I've had a few "I didn't hear that before" moments.

I'm driving them with an ARC Vsi55 50 WPC integrated.  Other speakers I have in this system recently are Canton Vento Reference 9 DC 7 and Klipsch Heresy I and these are my favorites by a decent margin.  I haven't heard the Revels so couldn't say how they compare.
