Revel F228be


So I bought a pair of B&W cm10 when I first graduated. They are fantastic and was my first high end speakers. I got my masters last year and got a good paying job. I want to treat myself with a new pair of speakers. Which speakers do you guys recommend for around $7k to $8k. I recently heard about Revel and read more about them. A lot of people have high regards for Revel as they make great speakers that compete with speakers that are much more expensive. I have seen some Ultima 2 used for around this price range as well. I have an SVS pb4000 as a sub. The amp is Rotel 1585.

A year in to the pandemic and what became working from home I moved my system that consisted of a McIntosh MA352 int amp and a pair of Klipsch Forte IVs From my family room in to my home office. 
Having heard the revel F208’s and liking them i purchased a new system for my family room that features the F228be’s powered by a McIntosh MA8900 and this system is wonderful in a completely new way. I can only describe the sound is that it doesn’t excel at the extremes of highs and low frequencies but fills the middle frequencies in a way I have never noticed. So the balance of real instruments and vocals sounds like the “instrument” being played. Like it get are  in my room.

I listen to music across a lot of genres w an emphasis on Jazz, electronic, indie and  the F228’s are just great to sit in front of for more time than I have in a long time.
