Revel 328Be owners...what do you think?

@james663 - classic rock is often recorded “poorly” to my years, lots of mids together. Yes comes to mind… I usually bring some Jethro Tull, Yes and Purple. I want to hear all instruments at reasonable volume as I never crank it to 11. Also, sometimes “colored” sound actually fixes a bit poor recording. My amp is E-650 Accuphase with tone and loudness controls which I find handy in some cases.

Revel did not play well for me in that sense. YMMV depending on your sound and music taste.

i recently purchased ProAc 38R and also have GR Bully on order.

@helomech  I can get these for few k above your threshold price of $5k.  I think my 228s have been so good that I'm really tempted to try the 328s.

I'll take a look at your recommended X3s and will do some reading on them.  Appreciate you taking the time to chime in and offering alternatives.

Honestly if you have the 228be I would not spend the money on the 328be. But if you can sell the 228be you are really not out that much. I think I would take the Borresen comments to heart and seek out a demo. Too much good press to ignore. Me personally I would really like to see some measurements of the Borresen X line. 
 

I think I just have to see what's up with the high-end of the Be Revel line.  But I do understand it's going to be incremental gains here. 

The one thing that concerns me about the Borresen is that I typically do not like ribbon tweeters. I just find the integration between a ribbon and the traditional cones extremely difficult to master. My mind automatically goes to gaps or dynamic differences between both of those drivers technologies.

On the 228 side, Good point about being able to sell these. I'm maybe able to do both the 328s and the Borresen with that approach.... hahaha, j/k!

I’m going through a similar process. I own the Revel 228be, and I’m very happy with them. They do so many things well----imaging, detail, midrange grip, good bass (provided that your electronics are up to snuff), versatility with different genres of music, and they're not finicky about placement. I’ve also had an itch for the 328be, since I’m in a large listening room that can utilize it, but something tells me to leave well enough alone.

Speaker changes are a dilemma. The mistakes can be expensive and auditioning is difficult---bad combination.
