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!

The Rivals seemed like a 'fun' speaker, very lively tonality, a lot of immediacy in their reproduction.  I don't know if that would eventually get fatiguing or not, but they were a fun listen for a few tunes at AXPONA.

Thyname,

You might want to check out the Legacy Focus SE.  One of the most impressive sounding speakers I've ever heard.

One speaker that really surprised me was the PranaFidelity 'bookshelf'.  I can't remember the name.  It's around $5,000.00.  When I walked into the room some pipe organ music was playing.  It was big, full-sounding, clear, articulate, and bass was surprisingly good.  I want a pair of those; they would fit my small room better than the Legacy.
