Revel F206 Tower Speaker Review

[Nothingness]

Never have listened to F35, or F206, but I do have a pair of F36 with an SB-3000 sub, and love this setup. End game for me, but my tastes are simple.

And your avatar shows a KEF?

I also own several pairs of KEF speakers as well.

Fair point. I own some pairs of Revel, and a KEF center as well.

After owning some low to high series of revel speakers, I do think the Be series has something special in the tweeter and mid. I'm no expert. I will say I'm shocked at the 426be center which is end game caliber in my opinion... We're on our Video system non-stop every day and it delivers every day. It's like putting in a hot tub...which I have, a beautiful teak one...People ask me how often I actually go in it and they are shocked when I say almost every day. Value. I listen to that center every day and it delivers every day. To me that's great value at the price point if you can afford it.

Yup, I also have a mix of stuff. Dynaudio and Focal in addition to the Revel speakers and SVS sub

It is definitively the endgame center. Not sure what else really tops it. New Arendal 1528 was never actually measured and reviewed so potentially has the specs to top this one.

Revel PerformaBe F226Be Tower & C426Be Center Loudspeakers Review

We reviewed the Revel Performa F226Be, a three-way floor-standing speaker, and the C426Be, a monster three-way center speaker using four 6.5" bass drivers to see if they live up to the brand reputation.
