Revel vs. Aerial vs. B&W

AERIALS BLOW BW AWAY....AERIALS BUILD,SERVICE AND TOTAL OVERALL TONAL BALANCE IS ONE OF THE VERY BEST..BUT PRICING IS TO ME ALWAYS A CONSIDERATION AND THE SOPHIA IS LESS THAN HALF THE PRICE,LEAVES PLENTY FOR BUYING MUSIC TO LISTEN, IF YOU ARE ONLY CONSIDERING THE AERIAL AND BW, THEN AERIALS,BUT WHEN SPENDING THAT KIND OF MONEY I WOULD LISTEN TO THE SOPHIAS

I own the N802s, and extensively listened to them, relative to the AA 10Ts. To me, the N802s sounded more coherent (smoothness across the lows to highs): also, I liked the looks.)

The Studios are more comparative to the N802s: the Salons are in no-man's price-land; I really like the sound, but felt that the amp requirements simply added to the overall system cost.

Asin-

I ended up with a pair of Sonus Faber Amati's. My wife was giving me a ton of grief about the prospects of any of the speakers I was considering. She saw a picture of the Amati's and found that speaker beautiful. And how!!! I really like the Amati's all the way around. Sonically, I believe that either Revel would have been very good. Sometimes in a marriage you just have to pick your battles and this was not one of those times(spare the wimp accusations please) :)

I bought the Studios over the B&W 801s. Much better midrange and imaging. (Bass on the 801s is hard to beat.)

Never heard the Aerials.

The bass on the 800 is superb. I expect to audition the 20Ts next week.
