Acoustic Zen Adagio or Revel F208?


I have kind of narrowed it down to these two speakers for a bedroom system. Due to being in a bedroom with the bed and furniture I will not have an ideal setup. I am looking for a speaker that will sound decent at lower volumes. I do have a sub and have an older Coda CSiB integrated. Any input on these choices would be appreciated.

I have owned both. However, I'm thinking that both are too large for a bedroom system, especially with the high quality monitors both manufacturers make. The Adagio juniors are fantastic and offer the same sound as the adagio's. The m126bes paired with a good 8"sub will be more than enough for a bedroom system.

However, if you set on the floor standards, I would probably go with the adagio's as they present better my opinion

I concur as to the F208s.  I had a pair, well, still have them but not seeing much use.  Seem a bit big for a typical sized bedroom.    

Simao: Thanks for the input. Nice to hear from someone that has experience with both speakers. I do kind of want to use a small floor standing speaker.

12many: What was it about the Revel that made you shy away from using them?

I don't know if I would characterize either those models as particularly small. I mean, compared to some of the high-end behemoths they are but if you're looking for a small floor stander, you might consider something from totem or silver line or even the reference 3A Veena

Some really good deals on Revel right now. There is a pair of 226be for $3500 on music direct’s website. Probably fit your room and comes with a much better tweeter. I have bought from them before and had good service.
