Sophias vs. Revel Studios

I'm totally stumped, although either one will probably be happiness.

The Revels need some serious amp power...be aware of that...Will narrow ($ wise) your amp options....unless of course money isn't a factor. Hey, but isn't it always?

However as far as power I think the efficiency of the amp may have a lot to do with the studios. I agree that with ML or someone else you might need a 250wpc into 8ohms or better. On the other hand I am driving mine with Harmonic Precision amps at 110 wpc and more than 97% efficiency and unless I'ved snowed myself for no reason they are absolutely dynamic. I have also heard them with spectrals that were 150 wpc and while I felt the spectrals were way too bright they drove them pretty good.
