Revel F228BE

I’m very curious also. Not enough information yet on the internet. 

We need reviews of them and how they compare with Sopra 2 and Magico A3, etc.

Most reports from those who have heard them are extremely positive.  There have been a lot of comments on them after they were displayed at AXPONA in April.  I thought they sounded excellent, paired with the Mark Levinson 585 integrated amp.  They'll be demonstrating them at RMAF next month in Denver.  But, given Revel's obsession with accuracy in frequency response, I'm not sure I would look for them to "sound amazing" in any flashy or gimmicky way. 

Mtrot, My front end is Ayre preamp and Levinson 532h amp and what I like about Revel is the accuracy to frequency response being true to the recording. 

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 louder levels the 228s just sail through. You can hear the higher power handling and lower distortion and breakup on higher spls. They also are easier to drive and have more extension and weight on the bass. The 90db sensitivity and 8ohm impedance make them more tube friendly (Rogue Audio m180 darks are a great pairing btw) if you are into that sort of thing :) They are truly exceptional speakers. My only complaint is I wish they were in better cabinets for twice the price of the 208s. Hope this helps.
