The revel m20s are great, and I agree that we're splitting hairs at this point, but in my case there were three things going against them:
1) they did not fit in visually
2) my favorite, ever patient dealer doesn't carry them, and I'm very loyal
3) I paid two visits to another dealer to hear them, and they refused to play them without a subwoofer on both visits. My simple request - could you turn off the sub, or turn it down was met with a "how dare you" look. The bass was good though.
I've mentioned before that on some days I'll prefer say B&W to revel (or thiel) or vice versa, but it's fun
