Revel F328Be's Have Arrived! / Contradicting Specs?
You can verify the dimensions yourself and as dr toole says bass output is more room dependent than the speakers below 300 hz.  Congratulations on the new speakers, I’ve always liked revel  
Little two-way boxes on a stand....
I’m starting to sound like a broken record but I listened to the persona b weekend before last and now I’m thinking of replacing my beethovens with them.

$3000 stand mounted speakers?
I listened to the persona b last weekend and they’re on sale for a couple more weeks so they might be worth checking out. 
Whatta Ya Think About Hsu Research Subwoofers?

What is the most FUN pair of speakers you've ever had and why?
My realistic sta235b receiver 55 stomping wpc and a pair of bose 901 vI. That was my last system before being turned on to hifi. I loved playing air guitar to that system. 
KEF R11 vs B&W 702 vs Golden Ear Triton 1.R vs?
