KEF versus Revel. Save me money ASR

[Oddball]

Lastly anyone know any Rebel dealers near Atlanta they are hard to find online.

The F328Be and F228Be will fill this room with no problem. If you use half of a 200W Purifi amp you will need to wear ear protection while in the room. I have a 28' x 24' room with F328Be speakers in stereo and they reach my needed sound levels with less than 10W. I wouldn't be concerned about the Revels not filling this room. That's crazy talk.

Revels, KEFs, nor Perlistens S7t will not fill this room if they need to operate from 6m distance at 105dB. Not sure where the 6m came from just picked it up. Furthermore, watching 130" screen from 6m is also not going to provide immersion. That would be more of 200" screen from 6 m, but could involve additional cost in that size.

I understand that people have different views, so I will just fade away from this thread as already voiced my concerns that are supported with experience in similar XXXLLL projects. Last thing is that these are what are considered good Revel prices, but that is in UK. EU occasionally also has prices like these but not no on the whole lineup.

Wish the OP best of luck as this is exciting but clearly overstretched project.

If you know what you want I would send a private email for a quote to @amirm. His company sells Revels and they are great to work with. In most cases, Revel will be shipping the product to you so it really doesn't matter if the dealer is in your neighborhood.

Guess I would agree. After all, this is about a 55 square meter room, obviously. It’s large, but it’s no concert hall.

If they're behind a screen have you considered something like JBL Cinema? Perhaps consult a company that does home theater.

I get it thank you. The seating distance will be determined by THX standards. For now though it’s just about speakers. Thanks for the input.

I would go with the Revels, but the price you show is almost twice as high as I paid. In a room that size, I would recommend the F328Be Fronts as the 4" higher tweeter is really nice for big rooms. If you are not in a hurry and can wait for the next sale you should be able to get this order discounted to the $23,000 to $25,000 range. Any dealer would love to close this order. Make them bid for it.

My Revel Ideal
Revel F328Be - Fronts - $11,500
Revel C426Be - Center - $2,000
Revel F226Be - Surrounds - $4,400
Revel F228Be - Rear - $6,000
Total = $23,900

Happy hunting!

This is interesting why F228Be for the rear and “lower” f226Be for surrounds. The more I can learn the better.

I like to play multi-channel stereo and in that configuration I personally enjoy the 228's in the back. If you don't use multi-channel stereo then it probably won't matter. In fact, if you don't use multi-channel stereo then you might consider M106 bookshelves for the rear.

Got a good deal and went with Revel f228Be all the way around.

Now looking at subwoofers
