B&W 800 DIAMOND-COMPARABLE SPEAKERS

I recently auditioned the B&W 800 Diamonds and absolutely loved them. Unfortunately they're a little over my budget, although not by much.

I'd greatly appreciate if you nice folks could recommend a pair of speakers which come closest to these, but are slightly less expensive.
THANKS

Revel Ultima Salon 2 and save a boatload.

Good enough for JRDG speaks volumes. Compare the Stereophile measurements. The difference appear to be slight but the Salons are said to have a more correct presentation with exceptional bottom.

Shahzada1, buy what you have heard and loved. I suspect that the reason so many people here complain about their systems is because they read too much and listen too little. Trust your ears.

I agree with the above. But anyway, Focal Utopia would be comparable. More expensive though...the bigger Electras might be as well.

I second the Revel Ultima2 Salons or Studios if you don't need truly full range. The other choice to listen to is NOLA Baby Grand Or anything in the NOLA lineup.

However if you really like the sound of the 800s then you should take a serious look at the 802D. Let your ears judge what you like best.
