With the #PerformaBE series, Revel took our two favorites in the Performa 3 series, the F208 and M106 and upped the game on driver materials and crossovers, while giving even more cabinet finish options.
Beryllium is a rare earth metal that is known for being light, stiff, and very well damped. All of these are characteristics you want in a tweeter so Revel set out to design a Beryllium tweeter for the Performa BE series. Using filter down technology from the Beryllium tweeter used in the Ultima series, they came up with a design for the F228BE and M126BE. To improve the midrange and bass drivers they developed a new ceramic cone material. They also coat the cast aluminum waveguide for the tweeter with a ceramic material.
These materials result in quite the upgrade from the Performa models, although the price does double on each one with the F228BE at $10,000 for the pair and the M126BE at $4,000 a pair. What you get is far more high frequency extension, which gives them an even more effortless high frequency reproduction. The ceramic bass drivers are more efficient in the BE series, giving them greater dynamics and deeper bass extension.
The Performa BE series is what we feel the connoisseurs version of the Performa 3 models. What you will get is more refined, bigger, and more extended, in a cabinet that comes in high gloss black, white, walnut, and metallic silver.
Overall, the #Revel sound is going to be very appealing to a wide variety of listeners. If you are thinking about new speakers in the $1,000 or above price range, these need to be on your list of models to check out. We think you will find yourself grinning from ear to ear like we do when you experience them in your home!
