Dynaudio v Revel

I have been auditioning a number of speakers in the $7000 to $10,000 range and due to a significant price break am leaning to the dyns. Never the less I have been impressed with the Revel Studios. It is just that right now the potential price differential is about $3500. I am using tube amps, pre and cd. Any thoughts out there? Thanks!

Which Dyns? I have the Confidence 5s and couldn't be (much) happier. I will say that the C5s are extremely analytical so your front end/amp must be up to par. I'd be curious to hear your impressions of the Revels vs the C5s. Only complaint: although the cherry finish is nice, Dynaudios are one of the most visually boring speakers in this price range.

Thanks for the follow up. I am leaninf toward the Confidence 3s. The front end is the BAT cd and for now Audio Research LS3 but am in the market for a new pre,perhaps the Hovland. My amps are the VTL 250 monos which are 250 of triode. The revels are very nice great soudstage imaging etc but to a very small degree do not have a completely integrated base. Yet, if the prices being quoted to me now were closer I'd pobably be leaning to the Revels.

Why the 3s vs the 5s? I've seen the 5s selling for <$6k which has got to still be less than the Revels. I have a Sonic Frontiers T3/P3, BAT VK50SE, BAT VK500 as a front end.
