These are the speakers I heard at CES. They are beautifully made and sound superb despite actually being cheaper than the current line: http://residentialsystems.com/article/76166.aspx

Note: my company is a dealer for this product. So I am a bit biased :).

Revel Finalizes Performa3 Loudspeakers Lineup


The Revel Performa3 Series is a complete range of home theater and music loudspeakers that incorporates engineering and aesthetic enhancements to the original Performa Series, the company says.

Revel Performa3 loudspeakers offer a choice of high-gloss walnut or piano black finishes that are overseen by master Italian craftsmen for unparalleled quality. Models F206, M105 and C205 are also available in high-gloss piano white. Model S206 is only available in matte black. All Performa3 passive loudspeakers will be available in December 2012, with both subwoofers available in early 2013.

“Our Revel Performa loudspeakers have earned rave reviews from audiophiles since their initial introduction,” said Jim Garrett, director, marketing and product management for Harman Luxury Audio and Loudspeakers. “We have made a number of advancements in loudspeaker materials and manufacturing technologies that we are now able to incorporate into the upgraded Performa3 models. We are confident that listeners will be thrilled with the improvements in sonic performance and musical accuracy.”

Revel Performa3 loudspeakers deploy proprietary drivers throughout. The 1-inch aluminum-dome tweeters deliver extended high-frequency response to beyond 20 kHz. The tweeters operate into a patent-pending Acoustic Lens Waveguide that is precisely shaped using an entirely-new mathematical approach. These new waveguides result in a seamless transition from the midrange to tweeter.

The midrange and low-frequency drivers employ aluminum cones and sophisticated motor systems for resolution with low distortion. The cones have integral ribs that add strength and rigidity without added mass, resulting in very low distortion for more natural vocal and instrumental reproduction. The drivers incorporate additional refinements including cast-aluminum frames and efficiently vented, high-power motor structures.

The F208 and C208 also feature a tweeter level control that allows the speakers’ high-frequency balance to be fine-tuned, and a boundary control, which enables the speakers to be tailored to individual room acoustics and placement positions.

Is the Salon series due for an update soon, or is this Performa update following the last Salon update?

Amir, what is the "boundary control"? Haven't heard that one before. Could you clarify a bit on this, please?

This is strictly for Perfoma line. The current series sounds great but have old fashioned square boxes which are less wife friendly. This redesign takes care of that while taking advantage of the latest innovations in waveguides and such to improve performance. The salon already has the curved cabinet and such so it is not motivated by the same redesign.

Unless something has changed both the Ultima (Salon) and Performa series are manufactured in their Northridge California facility.

Are you talking about the JBL facility?? All of the manufacturing went to Mexico at least all the JBL's did.
