Hello, I have experience with both, I would say it highly depends on your music taste, the 126 disappears more than almost any speaker I have heard and its tweeter is exceptional. However, it does not have the dynamics that the 208 towers can provide even with a sub, the little six inch woofer/mid and small cabinet just can't compete. I owned 208s, now 228be and had the 126 be in my listening space for a audition. They do have a new tower coming out that is the 226 be and a be version of the 206 so it's a true three way. Good luck, Christopher
Revel - F208 vs M126Be
I’m looking for some input on these two speakers. I know... everyone has a favorite that will better these. But, I am interested in this comparison.
I have F208 and I’m quite happy with them. I’m convinced that stepping up to the F228Be would be a big improvement because there have been so many improvements. But, they cost $10k. Even $7k for a used set. So, it’s major step in cost. It's just not in the budget at this point.
But, I was thinking that maybe the M126Be would be an incremental improvement, without a major difference in cost. I have a REL R528 subwoofer, so I think that would integrate well with the Revels, and give the full bass sound that could be missing from stand mount speakers.
Anyone have experience with both of these who could comment?
