Speaker Suggestions

I tested a Revel F208 and while it sounds good, the bass is limited for a pair of $5000 speakers. 

I will check out the Monitors as well. How is the bass performance with the Monitor Silver?

I use a pair of Silver 300s for my 2-channel setup.  Bass goes pretty deep, clear and fast.  I have no need for a sub, but that's just my taste.

The midrange is crystal clear, non-fatiguing.  I love them!

Try calling Parts Connexion.  That's where I bought mine, and they usually have discounted prices.

How big is the room? I have a beautiful pair of Vienna Acoustics Strauss in Rosewood that sound as good as they look, but have 11" side mounted woofers and can put too much bass in a small to medium room. USAM. Used Focal 936 more modern, less traditional looking sound better than they should for the price, the revels are lightweight in the bass for floor standers though smooth and if you're handing off to a sub will be good. I find B&W speakers more system dependent than most. Have fun with it.

Monitor Audio Silver 500 has a hair deeper bass than the F208. If you found the Revel lacking, so would the Monitor Audio, even though crossing with a sub would solve this issue.

The Revel is top class for accuracy and imaging though (and soundstage is decently wide).

Thanks. I guess I will have to drive it with a sub.
