Revel F228BE
I am breaking mine in now, they are really amazing speakers. Two other friends of mine have also purchased 228be and love them, I think they are a breakthrough at the price point.  
Replace Revel Ultima Studio with Magneplanar 3.7i (???)
The new Revel f228 be is outstanding, I have been listening to Revel since the day they came out and the new technology is a breakthrough at its price point. Not a single person who has come over to hear them hasn't just been bowled over by their ... 
Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre?
I have to say, if you mean truth of timbre, or closer to real sounding in the mids, the new Revel f 228 be is outstanding. Check out the technology and measured response of these speakers,  truly impressive. The best I have had in my home, and wil...

Revel F228BE
I have multiple friends with them and all have upgraded from other revels, including the f208. Long story short, they smoke the 208s. Bigger soundstage, better low level detail, and where even the 208 would start sounding hard on transients and lo... 
John Dunlavy On "Cable Nonsense"
Why stop at cables? There are just as many engineers that will say the same about any other piece of audio equipment. Some people just know everything and have this hobby figured out. Just buy good  but not too expensive speakers, buy the cheapest... 
Speakers for Devialet
Revel Salon 2s are in your budget, if a smaller speaker is needed the new Magico s3 mk2 shows lots of promise.

What is your budget for new speakers?  
Paradigm and Revel
The Revel haters are out in force. I would take Revel over Paradigm any day, so to each their own. Paradigm are brighter speakers, so older ears might like them more. They are both good companies though, listen to both before you decide. I own f20...

What about output tubes...KT-88, KT-77, KT-120, KT-90, KT-99
George, what rogues did you own? I own m180s and was told by Mark Obrian 120s would be no problem.  
What about output tubes...KT-88, KT-77, KT-120, KT-90, KT-99
Depends on the circuit, I have Rogue m180s, with Revel f208s and have tried kt77s, kt88s, kt90s, and kt120s, in my system the kt77s sounded tonaly the best, while the more powerful tubes sounded "bigger"
