Dynaudio Emit 30 vs Revel F328Be

Last updated: October 1, 2026

Short answer: the Revel F328Be on measured sound quality, the Dynaudio Emit 30 on price. The Revel F328Be ranks #9 of 188 floorstanding speakers, rated 4.7/5, at $19,359.90. The Dynaudio Emit 30 ranks #114, rated 3.9/5, at $1,274.25, $18,085.65 cheaper.

Dynaudio Emit 30 vs Revel F328Be

The Dynaudio Emit 30 is the deeper-bass choice. A 2.5-way floorstander: two 5.25” mid-woofers paired with a roughly 1” dome tweeter, driven through dual rear bass-reflex ports. Its bass reaches about 44Hz before falling 3dB, against 74Hz for the Revel F328Be. Watch for: A dip and inconsistency in the lower-treble presence region (roughly 2-5kHz) makes the top end sound uneven (sometimes soft, sometimes forward) depending on the specific instrument or frequency being reproduced; male vocals can lack presence and cymbals can lack sizzle as a result.

The Revel F328Be is the more accurate option. CEA2034 spinorama shows a quite flat on-axis response with superb directivity and efficiency above 90dB. Its measured preference score, a predictor of how neutral it sounds, is 6.40 against 3.84 for the Dynaudio Emit 30. The catch: Vertical directivity is asymmetric: the reviewer recommends staying between -20 and +40 degrees relative to the tweeter axis, reflecting the driver layout of this three-way tower.

Buy the Dynaudio Emit 30 if the price matters more than sound quality. Buy the Revel F328Be if sound quality matters more than the price.

Dynaudio Emit 30 ranking card

Same family: the Dynaudio Emit 10 (smaller bookshelf, estimated 3.2/5), the Dynaudio Emit 20 (larger bookshelf, rated 3.6/5), the Dynaudio Emit 50 (larger floorstanding, ranked higher, estimated 4.2/5) and the Dynaudio Emit 25C (center, estimated 3.7/5).

Pros: A 2.5-way floorstander: two 5.25” mid-woofers paired with a roughly 1” dome tweeter, driven through dual rear bass-reflex ports. The two woofers hand off at staggered crossover points (around 1kHz and 3.5kHz) rather than sharing one, which avoids the acoustic lobing a shared crossover point would cause between the tweeter and the lower woofer, and adds a few dB of sensitivity in the process. Genuinely deep bass for a speaker around this price: measured F3 near 44Hz and extends audibly down to about 40Hz in-room without much difficulty. Harmonic distortion measures clean and low at both 86dB and 96dB SPL/1m. Good CTA-2034 sound power and uniform directivity mean the speaker takes EQ correction well if a listener wants to dial in its one tonal weak point. Dynamic range and compression performance are strong overall, with only a minor, high-Q compression artifact tied to a cone-edge resonance that’s unlikely to be audible. Wide, consistent horizontal dispersion around ±70° with just a small ~10° narrowing between 1-3kHz, and a reasonably forgiving ±20° vertical window centered on the tweeter axis. Measured bass extension of 44Hz (-3dB).

Cons: A dip and inconsistency in the lower-treble presence region (roughly 2-5kHz) makes the top end sound uneven (sometimes soft, sometimes forward) depending on the specific instrument or frequency being reproduced; male vocals can lack presence and cymbals can lack sizzle as a result. A cone-edge surround resonance shows up around 1-1.3kHz in burst-decay measurements (a trait the reviewer has also seen on other Dynaudio models) and lines up with elevated multitone distortion across roughly 600Hz-1.5kHz. An enclosure resonance appears around 350Hz in the impedance curve. Placed too close to a rear wall, the dual ports make the bass noticeably boomy: pulling the speaker out is needed to keep the low end from overloading the room. Fully resolving the top-end inconsistency needs a modest EQ correction (roughly +2dB with a Q of about 1, centered 3-6kHz), so out-of-the-box tonal accuracy in that band isn’t quite class-leading despite otherwise strong measured performance.

Revel F328Be ranking card

Same family: the Revel M126Be (bookshelf, rated 4.3/5), the Revel F226Be (smaller floorstanding, ranked lower, rated 4.6/5), the Revel F228Be (smaller floorstanding, ranked lower, rated 4.5/5) and the Revel C426Be (center, rated 4/5).

Pros: CEA2034 spinorama shows a quite flat on-axis response with superb directivity and efficiency above 90dB. Predicted in-room response is extremely accurate, with a smooth ~5dB downward slope from bass to treble that suits typical rooms without correction. Early reflections sum very nicely with the direct sound. Horizontal beamwidth of about ±70 degrees is wide and quite smooth. At 96dB SPL/1m distortion stays easily below the reviewer’s audibility threshold across nearly the whole range. Measured bass extension of 74Hz (-3dB), with a measured sensitivity of 91dB.

Cons: Vertical directivity is asymmetric: the reviewer recommends staying between -20 and +40 degrees relative to the tweeter axis, reflecting the driver layout of this three-way tower. Impedance dips to a minimum of 3 ohms with an additional resonance-driven phase swing, calling for an amplifier comfortable with a demanding load. Very expensive and very heavy (51 kg each).
