I wouldn't get too hung up on country of origin...quality is quality...and Revel have a ton of R&D funding behind their products...the 208s would be an easy recommendation.
Revel F208s vs Cremona M vs B&W 803/804 D
5.1 setup
Marantz AV 7005 preamp
Parasound A51 amp (5x250)
Room: 15' x 30', hardwood floors with rug
I am debating between the F208s versus others. Revel dealers in my area claim that the F208s are a superb value for the money, $5,000. My favorite speaker out of these is the BMW 803 diamond - but it may be a bit much for my space and costs $10k. The 804 diamond may be good enough, but it still goes for around $7.5k. The Cremona Ms are hard to find in Graphite and would run $6k used. It's hard to find the B&Ws used on audiogon as they are tie till relatively new.
What do you guys think? The F208s are a great value, but have dull looks and I can't get over the fact that they are assembled in Indonesia.
Any input or advice would be helpful.
Thanks guys.
