Revel F35
The F35 is a true full range 2 1/2-way 5.25” floorstanding loudspeaker that was designed to provide true high-end sound quality. It will deliver an impressive combination of wide frequency range, uncompressed dynamic range and low distortion across the entire audible spectrum.
High frequency response is supported by 1 inch aluminum dome tweeters that were derived from Revel’s Performa3 series. Low/Mid range frequency response is supported by 5.25” Aluminum cone woofers featuring low-distortion motor-structures for greater clarity and accuracy with improved sensitivity and output capability.
The patented wave guide design improves tweeter to woofer blend and significantly improves off-axis response for consistent performance over a wide listening area. In doing this we sacrificed no details by making sure no fasteners were visible allowing the speaker to show enhancing smooth lines of the cabinet and magnetically attached grilles. To finish the enclosure, we selected high gloss black and white finishes to highlight the features of this beautiful speaker.

Effortless and rhythmical, the Revel F35 pairs punchy, well-controlled lows with articulate midrange and a spacious, open soundstage praised by What Hi‑Fi?. Twin 5.25" woofers deliver a well-textured bass and tight timing, while the acoustic-lens tweeter helps clean off-axis imaging and excellent driver integration, also noted by Erin's Audio Corner.
Pros
- Effortless, rhythmical delivery with strong timing and low distortion that suits many genres.
- Authoritative, well-textured bass from the triple 5.25" woofers with good extension for music.
- Spacious, wide soundstage and excellent off-axis dispersion with coherent driver integration.

Cons
- Slight upper-mid recession (~2–3 kHz) and occasional sibilance/recessed vocal attack that may need EQ or placement tweaks.

Bass
94/100
Triple 5.25" woofers deliver authoritative, well-textured low end; reviewers note clear presence and satisfying texture (What Hi‑Fi, Audiophilepure). Measurements and reviewer comments point to solid extension but reviewers advise adding a sub for deepest movie LF, so excellent but not reference-deep.
Mid
89/100
Generally coherent and well-integrated with good timbral balance (What Hi‑Fi). Some reviewers and measurements note a 2–3kHz dip causing slight recession in upper mids and reduced attack on vocals, and mild coloration/sibilance that can be addressed by EQ.
Treble
86/100
Treble is detailed and reasonably refined with good clarity when grilles are off (What Hi‑Fi), but reviewers report some flaring/3kHz energy and sibilance in certain recordings (Erin's Audio Corner). Magnetic grilles slightly soften clarity when fitted.
Soundstage Imaging
93/100
Widely praised for spacious, open staging and stable imaging with generous horizontal dispersion (~±70°) and good off‑axis performance (What Hi‑Fi; Erin's Audio Corner). Reviewers highlight excellent driver integration and an expansive presentation.
Dynamics
92/100
Strong sense of timing, micro/macro dynamics and low distortion; reviewers note lively delivery and control across genres (What Hi‑Fi; Erin's Audio Corner). Handles crescendos and quiet passages with good contrast and authority.

Build Quality
90/100
Well-constructed cabinet with 1"-thick MDF walls and extensive internal bracing (Erin's Audio Corner). Magnetic grilles, quality finishes and effective spikes/plinth options give a solid, well-engineered feel; minor tonal change with spikes/grilles noted by reviewers.
Features Connectivity
80/100
Passive tower baseline applied. Includes five-way/gold-plated binding posts; no DSP/app or active features expected or penalized.
Value for Money
82/100
Strong value on closeout (~$450 each) per reviewers who call them hard to beat at that price (Erin's Audio Corner). At the listed $880 MSRP they are less compelling though still well-built and musically engaging (What Hi‑Fi).
