Short answer: the Revel F226Be, if your amplifier can take the load. Its three-way layout with a beryllium tweeter and a dedicated 5.25” mid-range is the more ambitious design, but a minimum impedance of 3.7 ohms means it wants a 4-ohm-capable amplifier. The F206 is the safer match for ordinary gear, though it shows a small peak around 4.5kHz plus directivity error around 3kHz.
Buy the Revel F226Be. It is rated higher for sound quality; the Revel F206 is no longer sold new.
