Revel Performa 3

I heard the Revel M 105's at Audio Breakthrough in Manhasset, N.Y. a few weeks and they were very impressive driven by Exposure electronics. The sound and build quality of these speakers would leave one to believe that they cost more than twice their asking price. BTW Audio Breakthroughs is an excellent dealer with many great brands that has been in business for many years and I would highly recommend to people in the NYC metro area.

I wanted to like the Revel speaker, but was disappointed. There are much better products out there.

I recently stopped by a Revel dealer to listen to the M106's. I told them I was thinking about upgrading to them from my Paradigm Studio 40 v4's. They told to bring in some of my music and they'd set them up for me but that they doubted the M106's would be an upgrade over my paradigms. I'm still going to check them out though.

Some of these guys have an agenda.one guy says he was dissapointed
And better out there? What kind of statement is that ? Compared to what,
And where did you listen ? Somethng as small as using different cables
Can change a speakers chemistry and balance ,way to many variables
To make a blank statement. I listened to many speakers some 2 X the revels, and they hold up very well, a very balanced loudspeaker
With a natural warmth. If you are looking for a cool sound, or forward sounding speaker these are not , this speaker is a 4-5 th row perspective.

I have now heard the f208. To say there are much better speakers out there is laughable. I would put the new Revel up against any speaker under 15,000. I think they are giant killers.
