Short answer: the Radiant Acoustics Clarity 66. Both are rated 4.6/5 for sound quality (#11 and #15 of 228 floorstanding speakers), and the Radiant Acoustics Clarity 66 costs $7,998 against $8,469.90 for the Revel F226Be, with sound quality a draw, the lower price decides it.
The Radiant Acoustics Clarity 66 is the deeper-bass pick. Highly accurate floorstanding speakers with Purifi woofers and bass deep enough to skip a subwoofer. Its bass reaches about 32.2Hz before falling 3dB, against 56Hz for the Revel F226Be. The catch: Vertical directivity is narrow and horizontal coverage is uneven, so listening height and placement affect tonal balance.
What the Revel F226Be does well: Compact, highly accurate three way towers with a beryllium tweeter and remarkably clean drivers. The tradeoff: Minimum impedance dips to about 3.7-4 ohms below roughly 500Hz despite the 8-ohm nominal rating, so it wants a genuine 4-ohm-capable two-channel amplifier; budget AVRs rated only for 6 or 8 ohms may struggle.
Buy the Radiant Acoustics Clarity 66. Both are rated the same for sound quality, and it costs $471.90 less than the Revel F226Be.
