| Revel F228BE there is no choice when it comes to phones or computers, but there is a choice for the well off when it comes to HiFi. Revel used to made in California, now it's not. And yes I know lots of people that would buy Magico or Wilson, but not Revel, ju... | |
| Revel F228BE Yes, the cheaper Revel lines are made in China, but I actually don't know where the 228 is made. Initm is correct that the 208s were made in Indonesia. I will tell you that auditioning them is still a good idea, they are stunning sounding, they ac... | |
| Is pre-amp getting killed? The new bel canto ex dac looks stunning, if it's in your budget I would for sure check it out. My Bel Canto dac 3.7 hits way above its price class. | |
| Revel F228BE 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 pr... | |
| Revel F228BE If Revel actually cared that much about marketing they should make a made in the USA model and pick the price out of thin air. Go after the Wilson market and beat them at their own game, I know many, many audiophiles and well of clients who would ... | |
| Revel F228BE I would argue with these points he is wrong, you can measure the lower distortion in the newer drivers vrs old. My 208 tweeter extended to 22k, my 228s extend to 44k, that is a big difference, Revel also claims twice the power handling, this is ba... | |
| Revel F228BE Where did you read that he said this? | |
| Revel F228BE So if the new driver material doesn't sound any better why are charging twice as much for a f208? That makes literally no sense. Why do the 228s sound very different from the 208? I have now owned both and they sound very different. Tool is sayin... | |
| Revel F228BE Everyone who has come over to listen to them have been very impressed, including some very jaded people who never seem to really like anything lol. My Rogue Audio m180s are going back to Rogue for upgrades, can't wait to get them back. | |
| Revel F228BE I am breaking mine in now, they are really amazing speakers. Two other friends of mine have also purchased 228be and love them, I think they are a breakthrough at the price point. | |
| Replace Revel Ultima Studio with Magneplanar 3.7i (???) The new Revel f228 be is outstanding, I have been listening to Revel since the day they came out and the new technology is a breakthrough at its price point. Not a single person who has come over to hear them hasn't just been bowled over by their ... | |
| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? I have to say, if you mean truth of timbre, or closer to real sounding in the mids, the new Revel f 228 be is outstanding. Check out the technology and measured response of these speakers, truly impressive. The best I have had in my home, and wil... | |
| Revel F228BE 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. | |
| Morrow Audio re-design announcement: No more Ag coated Cu; Increased numbers of runs. Actually hospitals are starting to use high end power cords and line conditioners in some applications in the operating room, Shunyata is actually opening a new branch of manufacturing just for this very reason. Some of Shunyatas new adds now feat... | |
| 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 lo... |
