Revel M20 vs New ACI Saphire 3 ?

I'll second the M20s. I have a pair and they are great. If you can't swing the Gems go with the M20.

I too have M-20's and love them. However you must be willing to have patience and set them up properly or they may seem too analitical. As for the stands I second Warren. The revel stands aren't the greatest. I just finished building a new set and they sound MUCH better than the revel's. I would own the sistrum stands if I could afford them. Once you get things right, these speakers are amazing.

I love the Revel M20 until I heard the JM Lab Electra 906. If you have a dealer close to your place Audition both and let us know what you think. Never heard of ACI.

The new ACI Sapphires are actually the 25th Anniversary Edition version.
ACI has a 30 day return policy if you don't like them.
Great company to deal with.
If you try them, you will not likely return them.
Extraordinary speakers- soundstage is huge, detail is excellent, great imaging, smooth, and build quality is excellent.
I would think they match easily with many pre/power combinations. I am using a MF A300 and love the sound.

I am sure the Revels are also excellent, but considering the ACI's is worth your time.
