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.

other than some bass bloat which was the room interaction


Or... it was the amp not quite controlling the woofers. Just maybe.

Focal likes making speakers with a lull in impedance around 100 Hz.

They are more amp sensitive than a lot of other speakers for this reason.

If you want to keep your amp and are looking for something easier to drive, I don't think that's where you want to go.
