Focal 1038be or Revel Ultima Salon 2?

Hi, this is my first post and I am currently looking to upgrade from my Focal 836v speakers. I am running an Anthem p2 connected to a Denon 4810. I amlooking at upgrading the speakers and my components at some point. I am looking currently at Classe, and Anthem, I would like to complete my system with a P5 and D2V but I am willing to go in another direction should my speakers dictate it. I am not buying anytime soon (still saving!) but, any info or thoughts would be great, thanks!

I have demoed both of these speakers and it is no contest, the Revel Salon 2 is a much better speaker. When I have a few minutes (out of time at the moment)I can respond with some details about the demos.

No Focal, not the very top, can equal the refinement, low level detail, coherency, clarity of the Salon 2. Focal is an honest, real company, tries to be green, has a wide lineup, great line for a dealer. But it cannot compete with that stunning achievement that is the Salon 2.

I agree there is a lot of good stuff out there beyond these two speakers but between these two I've gotta go the direction of the Revel Salon. The Focal just doesn't do it for me.
