Revel or Aerial

Most dealers will have no problem with you bringing your speakers into the store. If you can do that it will make your search much easier.

I stand by my statement that the studio2's are in a different leage from the f208's. I won't comment on if you should change equipment as there are to many options out there to randomly suggest anything. I would still suggest the studio2's as they are a much better speaker regardless.

Harri009,

Have you compared the F208s to the Studio 2s in the same room, with the same equipment? If so, what stands out between the two?

In my limited listening experience this far - about 4 years into a system build - and probably have listened to a dozen brands(and numerous models) of speakers. From Sonus Faber, B&W , to Vandersteen and PSB - my most memorable experience to date was listening to a pair of the Aerial 7Ts. Just incredibly enjoyable sound - I have not heard the Revels, so no direct comparison for you. I currently own a pair of PSB Sync 1s - which are very good - but see myself saving for the Aerial 7ts in the long term. My setup is Ayre integrated and CD, with PS Audio as my computer DAC - a bit of a Boulder CO setup.

I second trying some different gear behind your revels, they are VERY transparent, and the better the gear behind them the better they will sound. I own the Revel f32s, and run them with a Bel Canto dac 3.5mk2 vbs and Rogue Audio M180s and a rega P5. Love the sound.
