Short answer: the Revel F226Be. It ranks #15 of 228 floorstanding speakers by sound quality, rated 4.6/5, at $5,999.90; the DALI Rubikore 6 ranks #195, rated 3.3/5, and costs $8,000, which makes this an easy call rather than a real tradeoff.
The Revel F226Be is the more accurate pick. Compact, highly accurate three way towers with a beryllium tweeter and remarkably clean drivers. Its measured preference score, a predictor of how neutral it sounds, is 5.96 against 5.27 for the DALI Rubikore 6. 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.
The DALI Rubikore 6 is the deeper-bass option. Large floorstanding speakers with an unusual four driver layout, low distortion, solid bass and wide dispersion for an enveloping soundstage. Its bass reaches about 43Hz before falling 3dB, against 56Hz for the Revel F226Be. Watch for: On-axis, the treble sits 3-5dB above the midrange (especially around 4kHz), giving a sibilant, hot top end that the manufacturer itself recommends compensating for with 30° of toe-out (firing the speakers straight into the room rather than at the listener).
Buy the Revel F226Be. It is rated higher for sound quality than the DALI Rubikore 6 and costs less, so only choose the other one for a particular feature it does better.
