As expected Revel knocks one out of the park, or did the panther make a hole in one?
Food for thought: https://www.stereophile.com/content/tale-two-speakers an article why the imperfectly measuring LS50 is preferred over the M106.
At the same price, the M106 looks better to me than the R3 and I haven't seen the preference score yet.
Edit, a very solid preference rating, 5.8/8. Not off that much from the best measured around here so far, way beyond the pack, with the ability to play loud and no funny stuff in the treble like the R3.
Interesting... I found the f206 treble to be a little harsh, and hard. Not sure how else to describe it. Whereas the ls50 and the R3 I'm currently testing are sharp, zingy but I can tolerate them better. Seems like my ears are less sensitive to it.
One caveat though, all the high preference eating speaker I have tried have been a little too grating and painful to listen to, just to varying degrees. They sound artificial to me, and lack a smooth organic sound. I think I might be one of the outliers that the preference rating doesn't work for.
