Short answer: the KEF R11 Meta for bass depth; the Revel F206 is similarly even but gives up extension. The F206’s spinorama shows a pretty even on-axis response, but some directivity error and a small peak around 4.5kHz appear alongside the directivity error around 3kHz. The KEF is generally flat on-axis with good directivity and very deep bass extension to an F10 of 30Hz, with a small dip around 1-1.2kHz as its main flaw.
Buy the Revel F226Be, the replacement for the discontinued Revel F206; it is rated higher for sound quality than the KEF R11 Meta.
