Does anyone have any experience with Revel M126Be speakers?

@james633  , I actually do have an ancient M&K sub (that needs upgrading) that I pair with my ancient B&W 805s (that I would like to upgrade).  That's a helluva discount on those F226Bes from Audio Advice. . . .  I've got the impression from reading reviews on a lot of floor standers that they really favor a larger room and some space between each other and the listener?  I don't have that luxury at present . . . I wasn't joking about the near-field.

There is kipple measurements online for both the 805s and 126be. I will link them below. It has been a long time since I heard the 805s to comment but I have owned speakers from both brands. The revels tend to be smoother and more dynamic as a whole. You might feel like you are missing some highs with the Harmon curve which is a 5db drop in treble over the entire frequency range (just a downward sloping line).

I can’t speak to near field on revel. I always sat about 10’ from mine. The drivers are superbly integrated

Just saw this post.  Did you end up buying the Revels or something else?  I have a pair and they sound excellent.  The beryllium tweeter is the best I’ve heard in my listening room.  Surprisingly good mid bass too.  I’m running within a pair of subs which really frees them up.  Highly recommend.  

@bassbuyer , yes, I did buy a pair from MD.  

Great.  How are they working out for you?
