revel m22 or f 30's

I have an opportunity to get either the m22s or the f30s. I had an opportunity to hear to hear the m22 and the f32s but not the 30s' Any diff between the 32 and 30s ?

Also, what would be be a good source to pair any of the above with ? My local dealer recommended the Arcam AVR 300.

Thanks for your help.

I am using a MC 402 but had a MC352 for most the time I have owned them.

I heard the M22's on quality stands with a Musical Fidelity A5 CD/Integrated combo and some nice wires. I REALLY liked them. Not the most neutral sounding speakers, but their sound grabbed a hold of me. At 85 db the M22's are not the most efficient boxes in the hunt. With the 250W of power from the MF amp, I did not feel like I was missing a lot in the bass department.

For 2 channel listening, I would think something with a lot of reserve power like a Musical Fidelity, Primare or Plinius would work well. If you are using the Revels in an HT set up, here is a previous set of recommendations for a Revel based system:

or for double that budget, see these ideas:

For the money, the Arcam would not be my first choice but would probably work OK.
