Paradigm and Revel

This is my first post. A buddy told me about Audiogon, what a great place. Ok, so I would like to upgrade my speakers. While on vacation I had the chance to hear the Paradigm 85f in one location and the Revel f206 in another location. I like both, prices are similar and size is similar . I have a REL t7 sub to go with either of these. Don' t think I can go wrong with either. This will be for music,not movies. So a 2.1 at best. Music preference is jazz, jazz vocal, some soft rock and whatever when the kids are home. Any ideas or opinions would be great. Thankx in advance.

Like most things, everyone has their own opinion, I have read articles where the opinion was that all things considered 2 way speakers sound inherently better than 3 way.  I can't remember why.

Well I guess you could apply this "boring" theory to many aspects of life-- books, favorite foods, etc. But one needs to avoid over-generalizing, and thinking that everyone thinks alike. I've tried many components in my system, and just cause they were new or different didn't make them better, although some were not inexpensive. And I have some components that have never bored me, and I will probably never get rid of. With the Revels, I was not satisfied, no matter what their lab results say, or even though one of the most famous speaker designers around (KV) was involved. I respect and appreciate Revels for what they are, but would never own them again.
