My friend just replaced his Revel F30 with the F208 and he absolutely loves them. Amazingly, we did a head-to-head comparison of the F208 to the Studio 2 on two separate occasions and we both preferred the smoother treble and bigger soundstage of the F208. The F208 just produced superior musicality in our opinion. However, the Studio 2 did have better bass response.
Best, Ken |

That was my impression as well Ken. After break-in the sweet, smooth treble and large soundstage won me over.

Added subs
A few weeks ago there was a flash sale on jbl.com on a JBL subwoofer, from $800 to $250 a piece. I got 2, figured why not at such a great price. Anyways, integrated them into the 208 system - all I can say is

The LF performance of the F208s is quite satisfying in my room. The absolute weight of a larger speaker's performance is absent, but the F208s are not slouches in this area. Bass is tight, tuneful and well defined with very little if any overhang or annoying resonances. When I put the spurs to them, they acquit themselves quite well and the balance between lows, mids and highs is right on the money. No doubt a lot of this has to do with our new room which seems to suit these speakers very well. It has crossed my mind more than once that these things with a couple of subs could be the right solution here but I'm committed to the Salon2s at this point so I'll wait and see. |

Thanks. I agreed to buy this house because of the room. Not that my wife's decision required that I agree but at least she threw me this bone.

Anyone compare the 206 with the 208?

I've said before and I'll say it again, the F208's represent the best 10k 'box' speaker on the market ..........and they are half that price !! although I still prefer the Studio 2's for what I believe to be greater coherence and definitely better bass response.
