revels do have a bit of a cult following and i liked their older stuff, but i'm not a big fan of the performa 3 line, nothing wrong with liking what you like.
Revel vs the field
Long story short, I bought Focal Aria 906 bookshelves years ago because I got a great deal. A few years later I added the Aria 926 towers and CC900 center (again bc of great deals)
Recently I’ve had more time to actually go and spend some time in listening rooms and I heard Revel for the first time (f208, f226be and f228be)
I’m curious if anyone has made the switch between these two brands and why they did it. While I loved the f228be, the f208s are a much more realistic price point ($4-5k) It seems like I prefer the neutrality of the Revels and would be open to demo-ing other, similarly neutral speakers
i know it’s subjective and dependent on equipment, room, etc, but I’d welcome hearing about other’s experiences
