Short answer: the Revel Performa4 F345 if sound quality matters most, the Q Acoustics 5050 if price matters most. The Revel Performa4 F345 ranks #57 of 226 floorstanding speakers, rated 4.4/5, at $4,999.90. The Q Acoustics 5050 ranks #71, rated 4.3/5, at $2,499, $2,500.90 cheaper.
What the Revel Performa4 F345 does well: The smaller Performa4 tower, a 3-way with three 5.25” ceramic composite woofers, a dedicated 5.25” midrange and a 1” ceramic dome tweeter in Revel’s Acoustic Lens waveguide (crossovers at 350Hz and 2.1kHz). The tradeoff: No independent measurements yet, so its tonal balance and directivity can’t be compared directly with measured speakers; the rating is estimated from the measured Performa3 towers.
What the Q Acoustics 5050 does well: Flagship floorstanding tower in the 5000 Series with dual 6.0-inch C3 Continuous Curved Cone woofers, internal HPE tubes, and P2P bracing. Watch for: Rating estimated based on 5000 series sibling testing.
Buy the Revel Performa4 F345 if sound quality matters more than the price. Buy the Q Acoustics 5050 if the price matters more than sound quality.
About the ratings: neither speaker has been measured yet, so both ratings are estimated from measured siblings and predecessors (likely ranges: Revel Performa4 F345 4.0 to 4.7; Q Acoustics 5050 4.1 to 4.5). Treat this verdict as provisional.

Same family: the Revel Performa4 M145 (smaller bookshelf, estimated 4.3/5), the Revel Performa4 M146 (larger bookshelf, estimated 4.5/5), the Revel Performa4 F346 (larger floorstanding, ranked higher, estimated 4.5/5) and the Revel Performa4 C245 (center, estimated 4/5). See every Revel Performa generation.
Pros: The smaller Performa4 tower, a 3-way with three 5.25” ceramic composite woofers, a dedicated 5.25” midrange and a 1” ceramic dome tweeter in Revel’s Acoustic Lens waveguide (crossovers at 350Hz and 2.1kHz). Bass reaches 36Hz (-6dB), deep enough for most music without a subwoofer. The Revel F206 it follows measured a 5.51 Spinorama preference score.
Cons: No independent measurements yet, so its tonal balance and directivity can’t be compared directly with measured speakers; the rating is estimated from the measured Performa3 towers. Sensitivity is 87dB with a 6 ohm load, so modest receivers can run out of headroom in larger rooms.

Pros: Flagship floorstanding tower in the 5000 Series with dual 6.0-inch C3 Continuous Curved Cone woofers, internal HPE tubes, and P2P bracing. Delivers commanding dynamic headroom, reduced cabinet resonance, and bass response reaching 37Hz (-6dB) with minimal distortion.
Cons: Rating estimated based on 5000 series sibling testing. Minimum impedance dips to 3.0 ohms, requiring an amplifier capable of high peak current.
