Short answer: the Revel F226Be for the higher ranking, the MoFi SourcePoint 888 for the lower price. The Revel F226Be ranks #8 of 25 floorstanding speakers at $7700. The MoFi SourcePoint 888 ranks #10 at $5500, $2200 cheaper.
The case for the MoFi SourcePoint 888: Three-way vented design: an 8” coaxial mid-range/1.25” dome tweeter driver plus two additional 8” woofers crossed at about 130Hz. The tradeoff: A significant investment, best ordered from a dealer with a good return policy.
What the Revel F226Be gets right: Three-way design with a beryllium tweeter, a dedicated 5.25” mid-range, and dual 5.25” midwoofers (not a coaxial layout). The catch: Minimum impedance of 3.7 ohms means it wants a 4-ohm-capable amplifier.
Buy the MoFi SourcePoint 888 if the price matters more than the ranking. Buy the Revel F226Be if the ranking matters more than the price.

MoFi SourcePoint 888: $5500 Crutchfield
Pros: Three-way vented design: an 8” coaxial mid-range/1.25” dome tweeter driver plus two additional 8” woofers crossed at about 130Hz, giving genuinely full-range output (F3 34Hz, F10 26Hz) other than the deepest subsonic content. Ranked by the reviewer among his personal top three speakers out of roughly 200 tested, alongside the KEF Blade 2 Meta and Dutch & Dutch 8C, despite costing a small fraction of either. Excellent compression/dynamic-range linearity, holding its own against much pricier speakers like the March Audio Sointuva AWG, KEF Reference 1 Meta, and KEF Blade 2 Meta. On-axis (0°) and 30°-off-axis estimated in-room responses track within about 1-1.5dB of each other above 500Hz, so tonal balance barely changes with placement or listening angle - excellent for multi-seat home theater or entertaining. Wide horizontal dispersion of about ±60°. Distortion stays low: under 1% at 86dB, and under 1% above 200Hz even at 96dB, with multitone distortion mostly under 1% as well. Not a difficult amplifier load (5-ohm minimum impedance, 4.2-ohm minimum EPDR). Checks the three boxes the reviewer considers essential for a home theater speaker: low compression, low distortion, and excellent directivity.
Cons: A significant investment, best ordered from a dealer with a good return policy. Large and heavy floorstander (about 96 lbs, 42” tall) requiring real floor space and rear clearance. Positioning is fairly specific: needs about 2 feet from the rear wall - closer causes boominess in the 40-50Hz region, farther loses bass extension. Vertical dispersion (about ±50°) is narrower than horizontal (about ±60°), since the two 8” woofers are spaced vertically apart on a tower cabinet, causing some vertical mismatch at lower frequencies. A small on-axis dip around 500Hz and a deliberately lower tweeter level (about 0.5dB below the midrange) are intentional design choices for smoother in-room response, but mean the raw on-axis measurement isn’t perfectly flat. A mild diffraction-related dip appears around 3kHz in directivity measurements. Toeing the speaker out more than about 10° starts to noticeably reduce top-end energy.

Revel F226Be: $7700 Crutchfield
Pros: Three-way design with a beryllium tweeter, a dedicated 5.25” mid-range, and dual 5.25” midwoofers (not a coaxial layout). On-axis frequency response holds within about ±1.5dB - excellent linearity. Average sensitivity around 90dB (2.83V/1m), notably higher than some competing three-way designs, meaning less amplifier power is needed for the same output. Wide horizontal radiation of about ±70° at the -6dB point, landing right in the reviewer’s preferred 60-70° range for an enveloping soundstage without excess diffusion. Distortion at 96dB stays under 1% THD through most of the midrange - strong output capability. Flat enough on- and off-axis response that toeing the speaker away from the listener preserves the same tonal balance rather than changing it, giving flexibility in placement.
Cons: Minimum impedance of 3.7 ohms means it wants a 4-ohm-capable amplifier; budget AVRs rated only for 6 or 8 ohms may struggle. F3 of 56Hz and F10 of 36Hz mean it doesn’t extend nearly as low as some three-way rivals with larger woofers; a dedicated subwoofer is recommended for home theater use, though it can work without one for music alone. Vertical directivity tolerance is tighter (about ±20° in the crossover region) than true coaxial designs, since the tweeter, midrange, and woofers are physically separated - a bigger consideration with multiple theater rows or if you tend to stand and move around the room. On-axis, the top end reads as a bit bright according to the reviewer’s subjective impression, generally benefiting from some toe-out. High-gloss cabinet finish can create distracting reflections if used behind a projector screen in a home theater setup.
