I like them more than the F226be, no contest for me personally. I don’t have the F226be to compared to side by side.
But I can confidently say that if they were compared against each other without a subwoofer the BMR Tower would win easily. It goes to 25hz flat in my room, has impact, sounds huge, crystal clear highs and a beautiful midrange.
With subwoofers their probably much closer, but I would probably still prefer the BMR Tower. I am biased since I preffered the BMR bookshelf slightly to the Revel F226be. I think that it is slightly due to how they sound in this particular room, as I loved the Revels in other rooms and preferred them half the time.
The Revel’s have a different sound signature that some may prefer, slightly shelved up response from 4k. I thought they were phenomenal during for movies.
