Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre?

revel is its own company who's parent company is Harmon, not to difficult to understand, and so what? And the don't rig their  tests lol, what in the hell would be the point in that? Why even spend the money on blind tests and a moving double blind floor? Yes Tool can be just that sometimes, but he has also published more papers on speaker design than any other living person, so I would trust what he has to say over yours any day. So fine, for whatever reason you don't like the company, what is it you don't like about the sound since you obviously have extensive  experience listening to them?   

Where did you hear the F228 Be? If you don't like their house sound sound why have you listened to "every speaker they have made since the early 2000s"  ? 

@chrissain I find that they do everything well, or at least okay, but nothing exceptional. It’s almost as if they’re more interested in checking off all of the boxes. It’s safe. It’s the worst kind of product.

They lack the crazy visionary. The Steve Jobs. The Elon Musk.

Sound is not just science. It’s also art. My ears want to be inspired. I need that ASMR. But after a few minutes of listening, I rather go on a bike ride, or something.

I heard the entire Be line at the NYC store.

Do you think it has to do with what they are being partnered with when you addition them? I don't really care for the levinson house sound and that is what they usually are paired with at shows. I will tell you most of of my friends that don't have FU money I know and are in this hobby have one thing in common, revels. And they can make them sound spectacular, and by that that I mean engaging and down right fun to listen to. I used to sell hi end gear at the two best stores in Minneapolis. I have had extensive experience listening to some of the most esoteric the industry offered, too many to list,  and most of the time they only disappointed me. Revel on the other had has constantly surprised me with their performance verse their price. They used to be made in California and wish they still were, and that's my only nicpic. As for sound I personally haven't heard a speaker that sounds more real for the price. Serious question, what do you like better?
