Short answer: the Revel F328Be, narrowly. It matches the F228Be’s flat response and adds superb directivity plus efficiency above 90dB, but its vertical directivity is asymmetric, and the reviewer recommends staying between -20 and +40 degrees relative to the tweeter axis. The F228Be is the more placement-tolerant of the two, though it dips to 3.4 ohms and wants a capable amplifier.
Buy the Revel F328Be. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the $8,359.90 you would save on the Revel F228Be does not close the gap.
