Revel Performa3 F208 Award Winning Floor Standing Speakers

*** We have 1pr  ex-display in BLACK going out on SPECIAL ***

The Revel Performa3 F208 tower speakers are a seriously well designed and well made speaker that suit a wide variety of music and reveals an amazing dynamic range across the whole audio spectrum. The Revels throw a jaw droppingly tall, wide and deep soundstage that gives a feeling of space to every recording and making many other competing speakers sound small and cramped in the soundstage. Exhibiting very low distortion coupled to the huge soundstage makes for enjoyable and realistic music listening across all genres of music - these sound great with jazz, rock, pop, metal, classical... come on into our showroom and have a listen for yourself.

Technical Details

Revel F208's low-frequency and midrange transducers feature distortion reduction mechanisms that stabilize the flux field during operation, assuring low distortion even at high listening volumes. These precision transducers utilize ribbed aluminum cones for ideal piston-like behavior that eliminates a major source of resonances that are clearly audible in most other loudspeakers. Their cast aluminum frames eliminate another source of resonances that is common in many lesser-quality loudspeakers.

These loudspeakers employ a sophisticated fluid-model designed low-frequency port with identical flares on both ends. This greatly minimizes dynamic compression and port-generated noise, assuring low-distortion low-frequency performance. The front-firing port location expands the speakers’ installation options.

The F208 tweeter has been created around a newly-designed motor and dome assembly that sets a new standard of transparency for speakers anywhere near the Performa3’s class. The tweeter’s integrated acoustic lens waveguide is based on a breakthrough mathematical approach that accurately matches the tweeter’s dispersion to that of the midrange transducer in the crossover region.

This gives the loudspeaker very smooth sound far off-axis – an important contributor to overall sound quality, providing consistent sound over an exceptionally wide listening area. In fact, this new waveguide actually increases the tweeter’s dispersion at higher frequencies.

The F208 is housed in enclosures that are similar to our flagship Ultima2 Series. These fully-curved enclosures are inherently stiffer than conventional box shapes and are formed with contiguous wood layers that prevent splitting. They feature strategically-oriented bracing that eliminates the possibility of enclosure-induced coloration.
