| Revel F228BE I have the 208’s, the 206’s and have has the f228be’s for the last 6 months. I already thought the 208’s where very clear and sounded excellent but 228’s bring clarity to another level. I’ve been using the Bryston 173 and 4b3 to drive them and the... | |
| Revel F208 Review by Earl It's been six months now. I went from a handful of classical CD's to hundreds. These speakers (revel f208) make a good classical (or accoustic) recording sound amazing. Something my PMC 22 never did for me. I finally sold the PMC and am looking fo... | |
| Revel F208 Review by Earl I got a new (to me) Bryston bp25 preamp in my system and a week ago I swapped out the Metrum octave for the the Hex, which is also very analog sounding but fuller and richer than the Octave. I decided to try some Rolling Stones tunes that I found ... | |
| Revel F208 Review by Earl Tune-man, what size room do you have the f206 in? My listening den is only 12 cubic meters and I'm wondering if they would work in that small a room. I tried the f208's and with the boundary switch on they actually have a pretty balanced sound but... | |
| Revel F208 Review by Earl Wolf_Gracia, You are correct, I didn't realize that shoe gaze was a joke ha ha:))) Some people do have very odd tastes though!! Mike_f and Tune_man, congratulations on you new Performa Speakers. Set up with the right electronics and some decent so... | |
| Revel F208 Review by Earl Wolf_garcia, I had to look up what shoe gaze was:))...so have no idea how it will sound. In general they are great with anything acoustic. Electronic music can often sound bright and edgy and I would not recommend these for that kind of recordings. | |
| Revel F208 Review by Earl "I think that's the Revels telling you about the Bryston. They are really trying to do you a solid........."ShakeyNow that I have lived with a very transparent system for a while I am addicted to the sound and have no intention of settling for les... | |
| Revel F208 Review by Earl After living with both the Revels and PMC for a while I have to say that are both excellent speakers and it really comes down to system synergy and what flavor you like. The PMC 22 have a very rich, romantic flavor that blends everything together ... | |
| Why so underwhelmed by Revel F208 audition??? Just for completeness I want to say that these Revel 208's are the most amazing speakers I have ever heard. After 3 weeks of listening I just can't pull myself away from them. The top to bottom crystal clarity is so addicting that a pair of f206's... | |
| Revel F208 Review by Earl Crisp, clear, clean with no caffein. Yes, I know that's from an old Sprite commercial but this morning as I'm listening to them I thought that this sums up the 208's hallmark sound. I can pick out any Instrument in the music and just focus on it l... | |
| Revel F208 Review by Earl Schubert & OkeeteekidI totally agree with both of you...our brain has the tendency to redefine normal based on what it's feed. After a week of listening to only these speakers I listen to the same song through my beloved PMC's and found the so... | |
| Revel F208 Review by Earl One thing I am really starting to love about F208's is their clarity and openness. Some have compared them to electrostats in that way and though I have not spent much time listening to electro-stats I think I understand what they mean. Last night... | |
| Revel F208 Review by Earl Schubert: Thank you for your compliment on my review. Clarity, transparency, resolution and control may not sound like the most exciting words to describe an amp but BRYSTON amps have thought me to appreciate every one of them. The 4BSST2 is a gre... | |
| Revel F208 Review by Earl Czarivay, As you have read, I was not impressed with the dealer demo either. "Revel F208 need best electronics to sound OK, but JBL L300 need average electronics to sound SUPER."First of all, they sound far better then OK in the right setting with... | |
| Revel F208 Review by Earl Czarivey, have you heard the F208's? |
