Raidho speakers with Audio Research Tube amps
The the new Revel 226 be would be asweome, (90db efficient) how big is your room? I tried the Arc St 80  with the revel 228  to great results in a smaller room, the Ref 75 has a much larger power supply so it should have even more control. The sou...

Which one? Paradigm persona 3f, Revel Studio2, Audiosolution Figaro L, Goldenear reference
The people here saying the revel 228 do not image well are blowing my mind, that's EXACTLY what they do so well in my room. The width and front to back separation and precise placement of instruments on the stage are some of the best I have heard ... 
Preamp Output Capacitor: Mundorf Supreme vs. Supreme Silver Oil
Exactly Ralph, my Amps use four 2.2 value caps per monoblock, one for each tube. When running just a single large cap the sound is definitely shelved off in the highs, scymbals sound rounded off for an example. Adding .22 value caps opens the amps... 
Preamp Output Capacitor: Mundorf Supreme vs. Supreme Silver Oil
And that's why it's a personal preference, in my system bypasses made my system sound more real, not less. It has nothing to do with fake hyped detail.  
Preamp Output Capacitor: Mundorf Supreme vs. Supreme Silver Oil
With my Rogue audio m180 darks they are traditional push pull transformer based tube  amps. I have tried both options, with and without bypasses. The coupling caps in my amps are 2.2 value and sound more open with greater extension and air with .2... 
Preamp Output Capacitor: Mundorf Supreme vs. Supreme Silver Oil
Audio research uses bypass caps and their products sound amazing. It must come down to personal preference.  
Focal Aria 948, Revel F208, Tekton Double Impact
Soundermn, you nailed it, the Tektons have a fun sound, but they are not coherent sounding and  the drivers are not anywhere near as blended as the revels. This is something that needs to get talked about more, no frequency sticks out or smears ov... 
Focal Aria 948, Revel F208, Tekton Double Impact
I owned revel 208s, now I own 228be, I have a friend with tektons, I think they are fun sounding but not nearly as coherent as the revels, revel really does a great job blending the drivers, much better than most actually. They also have a huge sw... 
Dazed & Confused
If you do want to try a different speaker Revel f208 at 5k full retail are awesome, they have a huge sweet spot and have great separation and dynamics, they play loud with low distortion. Good luck 
Revel - F208 vs M126Be
I will say that as far as sound quality is concerned the new BE line of speakers are really amazing sounding, you might find a prettier cabinet from other companies at the same price but you will not find better sounding speakers anywhere near the... 
Best integrated tube amplifier, under $3,000.00. No phono needed. Could be used, too.d
I just read what speakers you are using, I also own revels and rogue. Rogue  drives them well, I also have multiple audio friends with the same combo, it's great together. Good luck.

Another vote for the Rogue Cronus mag 3, the new version is one of the best bang for the buck products in the entire industry, for 3k full retail it's a stunner.

Revel - F208 vs M126Be
Hello, I have experience with both, I would say it highly depends on your music taste, the 126 disappears more than almost any speaker I have heard and its tweeter is exceptional. However, it does not have the dynamics that the 208 towers can prov...
