Short answer: the Revel M126Be, if you are buying new. The Selah Audio Purezza ranks higher than it (#31 vs #38 of 222 bookshelf speakers, 4.4/5 vs 4.3/5) but is discontinued, so only consider it used; the Revel M126Be is still sold new at $4,400.
The Selah Audio Purezza is the more accurate, deeper-bass option. A premium bookshelf speaker with a Purifi woofer and ribbon tweeter, very low midrange distortion, and smooth, broad horizontal sound. Its measured preference score, a predictor of how neutral it sounds, is 5.61 against 5.08 for the Revel M126Be. Its bass reaches about 86Hz before falling 3dB, against 103Hz for the Revel M126Be. Watch for: The ribbon’s tall aperture creates deliberately narrow vertical radiation (roughly 20-30 degrees around 7kHz), so stand height and listening elevation are critical.
The case for the Revel M126Be: A beryllium tweeter bookshelf speaker with wide, immersive imaging and a smooth, even low end that avoids boominess. The catch: At $2200/pair, the reviewer doesn’t consider it a strong value: an improvement over the less expensive Revel M106 and other Performa3 models, but not proportional to the price jump.
Buy the Revel M126Be new; the Selah Audio Purezza is no longer sold new, so it only makes sense as a used find.
