... to have the review plastered with pictures of the towers but for the review to not actually include the towers.

...but thankfully, they have corrected the error with a new picture.
And BTW, what's up with a $750 center channel speaker that can't even go down to the THX spec of 80 hz.? I have a pair of BIC Adatto speakers(one of the best inexpensive satellite speakers around) that cost me a grand total of $90 a pair, and they can reach down to 70 hz. And this isn't the first time I've read reviews of fairly expensive speaker systems that can't go down to the THX reference crossover level. If an inexpensive speaker like the Adatto couldn't meet that spec, reviewers would be calling it a piece of junk, yet Revel gets away with it in a $4000+ speaker system. What gives?

In my book high end speakers start at $5,000 per pair.
Personally I'm not a fan of Revel speakers, but to each its own.
Concerta 2 M16 are Monitor/Bookshelf speakers and not full Towers. As such they are by design incapable of reproducing deep rich lows.
All things consider $4,000 for the entire 5.1 set is reasonable, however there are better alternatives at this price point (see Paradigm, Golden Ear and PSB).
As for me, I've auditioned the Persona 3F from Paradigm ($10,000) a pair and they are a bargain. Now these (Persona line) are high end speakers.
They are worth every cent, I just don't one million pennies lying around.
