If you like Revel F208, you would love ....


..... feel in the blanks please.

Time for me to start looking to upgrade from my Revel F208s. A project for the next 6-12 months 

Budget: $10,000 to $15,000 MSRP. I totally realize that the F208s are great and it would possibly take double their price to top them.

Contenders so far:

Revel new F228Be
Revel Studio2 or Salon2
Focal Kanta
Dali Epicon

Using all Ayre gear.

Thanks!

Splendid choice.  As an owner of the F208's, I was hoping you would make that decision.  In my search for speakers, I auditioned the Focal Sopra No2.  I wanted to love this speaker, but it just didn't perform for me.  It didn't deliver enough bass impact and the midrage left me desiring more.  Perhaps it was the room and the associated equipment (can't recall), but it just didn't thrill me.  Listened to the Paradigm Persona 3F which I thought was great, but I thought a little too forward for long term listening.  And then the Legacy Focus SE.  Sounded great, but was too big for my room.  There was no Signature SE available to listen too.  About a year after I bought the 208's, I got word that Revel was developing a speaker that would fit in between the 208's and the Ultima.
I got a chance to hear the a proto type last year that they were sending around for feed back and was not impressed.  But early this year they came out with the final product and kudos to Revel. They got it right.  The speaker sounds awesome.  To my ears, it does everything right form top to bottom. I'm just sorry that I'm vested in the 208's for a while since they are twice the price. But, happy listening. 
BTW, what color did you settle on?  I would love to get it in grey.
Thanks guys. Just a quick update: I am loving my f228Be! They are all what I was hoping they were. A very nice upgrade to F208s. Not mind blowing but easily noticeable. They do everything right and better than F208 in every single aspect.

I got the gray / Silver. Looks very nice too.
