after John Atkinson gave them a rave review. I was underwhelmed. More recently, I heard the Studio2 or Salon2 - don't recall which - at RMAF. I was again underwhelmed. I suppose it could be the electronics/room, but I've yet to hear what the fuss is regarding Revel speakers.
Also, it's disappointing that they've off-shored production.

I've heard the Salons as well as the Studio in the home.....so that maybe why they sounded great. I had the M106 in my home for like 6 months.
I can tell you why. The Revel F52's that I have now and owned longer than any other speaker beat out:
Magnepan MG3.6 with my stands
B&W matrix 801 III with sound anchor stands
Spendor SP1/2e
Audio Physics Virgo III
Von Scwechert VR4jr
Harbeth HL5
I listen to 80% classic rock or 20% blues on vinyl with PASS or Manley electronics.
My next speaker will probably be the Revel Salon II
Revels are well-reviewed speakers. I'm not claiming they're bad, merely that my auditions have fallen short of expectations. Note that my RMAF audition was in the Revel/Levinson room, set up by Voecks himself. Presumably, that system was dialed in . . .
