You really ought to give a listen to the Revel's. I have a friend who has a pair of larger models and they are great rock speakers, as well as for acoustic music. So I haven't heard the F208's but I do know what Revel's "house" sound is like. Vandy's would be my other choice.
Looking for a Speaker Recommnedation
Looking to upgrade from my current Rogers LS3/5a + AB1 REL 328 setup . While I love the smooth mids of these speakers (especially on voices/acoustic instruments), I tend to play harder music more frequently (alt/rock/punk/etc) which these do not excel at. I like to play music loud and have a real world living room my system is in (cathedral ceiling, open on one side, many windows. couch between my speakers) so setup is a challenge. I hate harsh sounding speakers.
My current playback system consists of a Oppo-BDP105 (or primarily Roon/JRiver via Ethernet) into a PS Audio DirectStream Jr DAC > Conrad Johnson Premier 14 Tube Pre > Conrad Johnson MF2500a Amp. All run by a PS Audio P5 with a combination of Nordost/Shunyata cabling.
Looking to spend around $4,000-$7,000 but could be flexible. Used or new is fine.
Currently considering:
PSB Imagine T3
Vandersteen Trio CT
Spendor D7
Mangepan 3.7i (don't think this will work with high SPL)
Endeavor Audio E-3
Revel F208
Golden Ear Triton 1
Dynaudio Excite X44
Any other speakers I should be considering based on my equipment, volume preference and music? Anything I should eliminate?
Looking forward to hearing everyone's opinions & thank you in advance
