That said, the D17's 10" passive radiators are not subs/subwoofers in any way at all. Absolutely zero.
The designer chose to use passive radiators which for ease of explanation serve a nearly identically purpose to a $3 plastic tuned port.
For any one wondering about it and cross shopping the F35 here with the Definitive D17.
The D17 is a 3 way design with the 1" tweeter, a 6.5" midrange that does not play bass and it uses 2, 6.5" dedicated bass woofers per speaker and instead of a port they are tuned with the dual 10" passive radiators. Generally speaking, these do not add any more output capability vs a tuned port and serve the same purpose. They do look cool though and obviously cost more to manufacture vs a plastic port. To certain buyers this makes the D17 look like it has more to offer vs ported options, in reality it does not. It has about the same output as it would have if they just used a port vs the radiators.
So the D17 is a tower competing with other designs using 2, 6.5" bass drivers and a port. There is no subwoofer involved at all.
The F35 is 2.5 way and it has 3, 5.25" woofers that all handle the bass per speaker. This adds up to a bit less ability to move air than the 2, 6.5" drivers of the D17. Both have about the same out put as a single 8" woofer would have give or take a little. The D17 woofers are also apparently a bit more beefy and robust. I'd guess the D17 has more low bass and mid bass capability vs the F35, but not a lot more. Still more. Also being a true 3way the midrange in the D17 has an easier time playing loudly as it would not have to deal with bass notes.
I'd guess based on the Revel speakers I have heard and the Definitive demand speakers I have heard that it would hard to decide without hearing in your own room. Both sets are going to be very good. I think if we blind tested 30 people, it would be something like 10 pick the F35, 10 pick the D17 and 10 don't have a preference. Obviously just a guess on that.
The demand line was extremely overpriced at launch, especially the D15 and D17 towers, so take that MSRP with a grain of salt.
I think the Concerta2 and Demand D line are direct performance competitors despite initial price variances.
The F35 competes size and driver wise with D15
The F36 competes size and driver wise with the D17

What are you using to power them?
lol at this price, I will go for a full 7.1 setup for movies. This is a bargain.

Our hearing is not linear and at low volumes bass sounds much quieter than at higher levels.
This is also true of the trebble though to much less of a degree.
Loundness compensation helps the best or manual tone controls or a separate DSP setting.
You can look up Fletcher Munson curves to get an idea of the issue.
I slightly preferred the r162 to the m16 and that is saying alot as I really like the m16. And if using PEQ I can get the r162 to sound simply outstanding.
Out of the box, the m16 has a slightly darker, warmer sound vs the r162.
All that said, for this price def worth trying the Revel set.
Which is better is completely personal choice from listening to them.
The d17 have a "built in" subwoofer but pretty weak one compared to stand alone imo.
These Revels highly benefit from clean good power, that should be calculated into the choice imo.
