Revel F228BE

I have multiple friends with them and all have upgraded from other revels, including the f208. Long story short, they smoke the 208s. Bigger soundstage, better low level detail, and where even the 208 would start sounding hard on transients and louder levels the 228s just sail through. You can hear the higher power handling and lower distortion and breakup on higher spls. They also are easier to drive and have more extension and weight on the bass. The 90db sensitivity and 8ohm impedance make them more tube friendly (Rogue Audio m180 darks are a great pairing btw) if you are into that sort of thing :) They are truly exceptional speakers. My only complaint is I wish they were in better cabinets for twice the price of the 208s. Hope this helps.

Congrats! I ordered mine in black and it's been several months and still have not seen them :( my friends have ordered theirs in silver and in white and they showed up within a couple weeks. 

The eagle has landed! Finally got my speakers, it was worth the wait. Everyone who has come over to hear them has been very impressed with their sound. The driver intergration is some of the best I have heard regardless of cost, Revel should be proud of the crossovers! You can hear images floating in space detached from the speakers themselves from almost anywhere in the room. They also have a clarity and low level resolution which can be mesmerizing.
