Short answer: the Revel F226Be. It ranks #15 of 228 floorstanding speakers by sound quality, rated 4.6/5, at $5,999.90; the PS Audio Aspen FR10 ranks #87, rated 4.2/5, and costs $12,000, so there is not much of a tradeoff to weigh.
The Revel F226Be is the more accurate option. 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 4.08 for the PS Audio Aspen FR10. Watch for: 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 PS Audio Aspen FR10 is the deeper-bass choice. Large floorstanding speakers with planar midrange and tweeter, extremely wide dispersion and bass that works close to the rear wall. Its bass reaches about 47Hz before falling 3dB, against 56Hz for the Revel F226Be. The tradeoff: At roughly $12000/pair, expectations are high, and the reviewer found some measured shortfalls relative to that price.
Buy the Revel F226Be. It is rated higher for sound quality than the PS Audio Aspen FR10 and costs less, so it is the default pick unless a specific strength of the other one matters more to you.
