Revel vs. Aerial vs. B&W

I am looking at upgrading my KEF Ref 3's and am considering Aerial's new 20T. Has anyone heard them? I have heard the B&W Nautilus 802's and think they are great - especially for the money. A friend of mine said I should consider the Revel Studios. I have never heard those. Feedback on them would be appreciated. I am using a Krell 3250/Lexicon MC12, FYI. Thanks!

I've heard very little about the 20t's but they look quite good.

As a very happy owner of the 10T's with the Santos Rosewood finish, I would give serious consideration to the 20T's.

Aerial's fit'n finish is always second to none.

How much are the 20T's going for? Last I heard, it was about $15k.

The 20T lists for $20-$22K, depending on the finish. I haven't heard it, so my dilemma is that the B&W N802's sound great for $8K list, so can the 20T's sound THAT much better to justify the price?

In the event you're near the East coast Mr. Kelly of Aerial is giving a demo of the 20t's in Raleigh, NC at the end of June at Audioadvice. (I just received a mailer; not involved personally...)
I wish I had your dilemma!

I won't be in Raleigh then, but perhaps Mr. Kelly's roadshow will wind its way up to the Motor City. I would love to hear them.
