The F228Be is Revel’s latest speaker model that does not replace the F208, but rather fills the gap between the $5,000/pair F208 and the $16,000/pair Studio2. The new F228Be speakers ring in at $10,000 for the pair, and at the top of their feature list is an all-new beryllium tweeter. I have been a content owner of Revel F208’s for many years now and jumped at the … [Read more...] about Revel Performa F228Be Speaker Review
