Shopping for new speakers

+1  Some of the Revelators have odd stuff going on 10 kHz+ that would probably require some advanced modeling to deal with....  Kudos on the project, though.  I have been wanting to try my hand at a DIY but have to convince myself that it will be about the journey and not necessarily about ending up with a great set of speakers.  :)

Obviously, you’re getting a lot of advice from members, most of them are recommending their favorite speakers which may or may not work for you. I have SF Electa Amators, driven by Classe 15, and have used them exclusively since early 1990’s. They are a perfect match for me, including the all-important WAF. Whether they will float your boat remains to be seen, but, FWIW, I believe you are on the right track with Sonus Faber. I recommend buying used, as most SF buyers seem to take good care of their speakers.

I own the Joseph Audio Prisms and they are fantastic speakers. I prefer them to more expensive monitors I have owned in the past such as Harbeth 30.1s, and Peak Consult Princess monitors which are both excellent speakers, but the Prisms combination of dynamics, detail, soundstage and imaging provide a VERY musical and enjoyable  presentation. Jeff Joseph is one of the best speaker designers and he often doesn't get enough credit.

Put Revel 206's on your list. Trust an older audiophile that these greatly exceed their price class in refinement of sound coupled with great build and looks.
