THE VERDICT
It may be pricey, but this PerformaBe system offers sublime performance with both music and movies.
I’ve reviewed many Revel surround speaker packages over time, but it’s been six years since my last Revel review, a system centered on the Performa F208 tower speaker. At around 13 grand, that system could still be considered an affordable option compared with a full surround package built around the company’s flagship Ultima range. Now, with its PerformaBe line, Revel has a mid-price speaker offering to help bridge the gap.
