New Revel 208 BE, giant killer?


Has anyone else seen the introduction at CES 2017of the new Revel Revel f208 BE? It has newly developed drivers, a berilluim tweeter, ceramic midrange driver, revised and upgraded crossover, and newly developed aluminum wave guide, (instead of plastic) retail is expected to be $9k. I own and love the original f208, and do no not have the room for studio 2 or salon 2 in my listening room, if the 208BE gets closer to the sound of the Ultimata series but with the footprint of the 208, they could be real giant killers! I can't wait to hear them, knowing how conservative Revel is with introductions of new models, there is no way they would release a speaker almost double the price of the 208 without serious upgrades to the sonics.

I'm sure they will be great, but I think it will be hard to ever beat the cost/performance of the original F208's. People have no idea what they are missing.....
Focal has better/prettier box building skills, revel has better driver intergration.
