Think it is better as it has the latest beryllium tweeter assembly (better than what is in Salon/Studio).
New Revell PerformaBe speakers
I don't know if anybody noticed, but Revel has released a whole bunch of new models in their PerformaBe line to add to the very nice F228be, including a center channel (finally!!) lol. Unfortunately, the center channel is extremely wide at almost 39", so it is not possible in my setup, but I would have considered migrating to Revel if not for that.
