#15 Revel Performa3 C205: $1,000 each Discontinued eBay
Newer model: the Revel Performa4 C245, ranked lower, estimated 4/5.
Pros: A two-way center with a 1” aluminum tweeter in Revel’s acoustic lens waveguide between two 5.25” aluminum cone woofers. Revel’s measurements hold the listening window within 1.7dB from 300Hz to 5kHz with consistent directivity (2.92dB directivity index deviation), for a preference score of 4.85 that reaches 7.53 with an ideal subwoofer. 89dB sensitivity.
Cons: The only Spinorama data is Revel’s own, rated low quality. Bass rolls off at 92.2Hz (-3dB) and about 45Hz (-10dB), so a subwoofer is needed. Revel replaced the Performa3 series with Performa4 in 2026. Discontinued.
How it compares: Just above it: Polk Audio XT35 - $721 cheaper, 2Hz lower bass extension (-3dB). Just below it: Revel Concerta2 C25 - $250 cheaper.
