Revel M106 vs M126Be: worth the upgrade?

[Steve Dallas]

Psychoacoustics check-in but man these speakers sound really good. Once I got the crossover at X mark's the spot. Music comes pouring out of the center channel with the center channel off.

That is true of all Revel speakers I have auditioned when properly set up. When I have audio friends over and demo my home theater system with lowly F206s, they always ask me to turn off the center channel when it is never on. My 2 channel setup in that room bypasses the AVR, so no center is possible. They still swear they hear it.
