B&W 800 DIAMOND-COMPARABLE SPEAKERS

800 Diamonds are GREAT speakers! Just make sure you have the amp and the room for them. That is critical.

Nothing against the Kef 207/2, I heard them on Mcintosh amps. But the 207/2 are not in the same league as the BW 800 Diamond speakers.
The BW 800 speakers have a superior midrange and bass response.

Revel Ultima Salon 2 and save a boatload.

Good enough for JRDG speaks volumes. Compare the Stereophile measurements. The difference appear to be slight but the Salons are said to have a more correct presentation with exceptional bottom.

Shahzada1, buy what you have heard and loved. I suspect that the reason so many people here complain about their systems is because they read too much and listen too little. Trust your ears.

I agree with the above. But anyway, Focal Utopia would be comparable. More expensive though...the bigger Electras might be as well.
