MA Gold 60s-JM Labs 926 or Revel Performa 50s

I heard the Monitor Audios with the Dipolar surrounds and they sounded great in a big theater. I was wondering if they compete with the JM Labs & Revels as an all around system I have a B&W 507 receiver and will be using them for both Home Theater and Music. Is this enough power to drive the JM Labs or Revels? Also, I am trying to decide between a Velodyne DD-12 or SPL1200 subwoofer. Are these decent choices? Any suggestions?

I have heard all three of those and own the 926s. IMO, the Revels and the JM Labs are definately more refined than the MA Gold 60s - particularly the soundstage and high frequencies.

As for power consumption, the 926s are pretty darn efficient and will need a lot less power than the Revels. I am very very impressed with my speakers - I auditioned many before choosing the Electra 926 and I have been extremely pleased with my decision since. Let me know if you want any more info. Good luck! Arthur

Thanks Arthur for your input! What kind of Subwoofer and surrounds are you using with your system?

No sub or surrounds for me. I am very very VERY picky about image focus so HT just doesn't meet my needs. Arthur
