More a matter of taste based on what you listen to. IMO, B&W's are better at anything with acoustic instruments, Classical, Jazz, Bluegrass, etc., while the Revels will excel at power music, i.e., rock and other amplified music.
B&W 803Diamond or Revel Ultima Studio
I'm considering picking-up a Demo. pair of 803Ds from my Dealer this weekend for $6,000, but friends of mine tell me that for the same money I could get a Demo./Used pair of Studios that supposedly are much superior to the B&Ws. I have noticed quite a few pairs of Studios for sale for $6,000. Has anyone recently compared these 2 Speakers? The Revels, when new, retailed for nearly twice the price of the 803Ds, are they twice as good? Or is this (Studios over 803Ds) a no-brainer for the same money?
