focal 1037be, revel studio 2 comparison

It's not that the 1037 is better. It's bigger! It has (3) 7" woofers compared to the 1027 (2) 6 1/2". The 1027 is more suited to small/medium rooms and the 1037 fits nicely in large/medium rooms. They both sounded similar to me. The 1037 plays a little lower in the bass. But you can integrate a subwoofer into the system to play it down even further.

I agree with James63 about the Focals being room dependent. I use the 1027 BE in a small room and luckly it integrates really well. Better than any other spreakers I have ever tried. Room treatments made this speaker sound even better. IMO, the best speaker that I ever heard. You have to match these up with the right equipment as well as you do all components.
