Revel Performa4 Series Debuts With New Drivers, Waveguide, and Full Theater Lineup
HARMAN Luxury Audio Group has announced the Revel Performa4 Series, a new loudspeaker lineup covering two-channel and home theater systems. The range includes two floorstanding speakers, two bookshelf speakers, a center channel, a powered subwoofer, and matching stands.
Pricing starts at $1,999/pair for the M145 bookshelf speakers and reaches $6,999/pair for the F346 floorstanders. The series begins shipping in this month (April) through authorized Revel dealers and custom installation specialists.
This is not entry-level speaker money. The budget-minded angle is not that Performa4 is cheap, because it is not. The question is whether Revel’s engineering-first approach, full system lineup, and published specs make the cost make sense for buyers who want a serious stereo or theater setup without wandering into true cost-no-object territory.
Revel is leaning hard on its research story here. The company says the Performa4 line uses new Deep Ceramic Composite, or DCC, and Micro Ceramic Composite, or MCC, driver materials. Revel describes these materials as stiffer, lighter, and lower in coloration than conventional alternatives. That is the claim, the release does not include independent measurements.
Every main speaker in the line uses a 1-inch DCC dome tweeter mounted in Revel’s seventh-generation Acoustic Lens waveguide. Revel says the waveguide is designed for better directivity control, integration with the midrange or woofer, efficiency, dynamic range, and off-axis performance.
The cabinets use cross-braced construction, curved sides, magnetic grilles, polished black accents, and wood veneer finishes in Natural Walnut or Black Walnut. The drivers use newly patented cast aluminum frames developed with Finite Element Analysis, plus inverted surrounds and integrated trim rings.
The Performa4 Lineup
F346 Floorstander
The F346 is the flagship of the series. It is a 3-way floorstanding speaker with three 6.5-inch MCC cone woofers, a 6.5-inch DCC cone midrange, and the 1-inch DCC dome tweeter with Revel’s seventh-generation Acoustic Lens waveguide.
Specs list dual rear ports, dual 5-way bi-amp crystal brass binding posts, aluminum feet, and optional floor spikes. Revel rates frequency response at 30Hz to 40kHz, ±6dB, sensitivity at 88dB, nominal impedance at 6 ohms, and recommended amplifier power at 20 to 250 watts.
Price: $6,999/pair.
F345 Floorstander
The F345 is the smaller tower. It keeps the same basic 3-way layout but uses three 5.25-inch MCC cone woofers and a 5.25-inch DCC cone midrange with the same 1-inch DCC tweeter and waveguide.
Frequency response is rated at 36Hz to 40kHz, ±6dB. Sensitivity is listed at 87dB, nominal impedance is 6 ohms, and recommended amplifier power is 30 to 225 watts.
It also uses dual rear ports, dual 5-way bi-amp binding posts, aluminum feet, and optional spikes.
Price: $4,999/pair
M146 Bookshelf
The M146 is the larger bookshelf model. It uses a 6.5-inch MCC cone woofer and the 1-inch DCC dome tweeter in the seventh-generation Acoustic Lens waveguide.
The M146 is sold as a pair and rated at 43Hz to 40kHz, ±6dB, with 86dB sensitivity, 6-ohm nominal impedance, and recommended amplifier power of 15 to 200 watts. It includes a 2-way crossover with air-core inductors and dual 5-way bi-amp crystal brass binding posts.
Price: $2,999/pair.
M145 Bookshelf
The M145 is the compact bookshelf model. It uses a 5.25-inch MCC cone woofer and the same 1-inch DCC dome tweeter and waveguide.
Revel rates it at 54Hz to 40kHz, ±6dB, with 85dB sensitivity, 6-ohm nominal impedance, and recommended amplifier power of 15 to 150 watts. It is sold as a pair and uses 5-way crystal brass binding posts.
Price: $1,999/pair.
C245 Center Channel
The C245 is the matching center channel for Performa4 theater systems. It uses dual 5.25-inch MCC cone woofers flanking a 1-inch DCC dome tweeter with the same waveguide.
Revel rates frequency response at 55Hz to 40kHz, ±6dB, sensitivity at 86dB, nominal impedance at 6 ohms, and recommended amplifier power at 15 to 200 watts.
Price: $1,499 each.
B140 Powered Subwoofer
The B140 is the Performa4 subwoofer. It uses a 10-inch fiber-composite cone woofer driven by a Class D amplifier rated at 750 watts RMS and 1,500 watts peak.
The release says the sub reaches 26Hz, though it does not list a tolerance for that figure. Rear controls include a variable low-pass filter from 50Hz to 150Hz, LFE input, phase control, volume, and auto on/off. Revel also cites its patented Constant Pressure Gradient rear port, which the company says reduces turbulence.
Price: $2,999 each.
MFS4 Stands
The MFS4 stands are designed for the M146 and M145 bookshelf speakers. They are made from extruded aluminum and steel, include wire management, and offer optional spikes for carpeted floors.
Price: $699/pair.
Availability
The Revel Performa4 Series begins shipping in April through authorized Revel dealers and custom installation specialists. All models are offered in Natural Walnut and Black Walnut wood veneer finishes.
The announcement was tied to AXPONA 2026, which occurred April 10-12.
The lineup covers stereo, bookshelf-based systems, and matching home theater builds, with the same tweeter and waveguide architecture.
At these prices, the obvious buyer is not someone assembling a first hi-fi on a tight budget. The appeal is for listeners who want Revel’s measurement-driven design approach, matching speakers across channels, and a relatively complete product family without jumping into the brand’s even higher-cost territory.
The part that matters is whether the new DCC and MCC drivers, waveguide, and cabinet work translate into in-room performance. That remains a listening and measurement question, not a press-release conclusion.
