B&W N803 vs. Revel F30


Hi.
I am to buy a set of speakers. I listen to Opera 40%,Concerto 25%,Orchestral 15% and Symphony 20%. My room size is W17' X L21' X H8'. I consider B&W N803 or Revel F30. Which speakers are more suitable to my situation? I am to think about amp and CD Player afterwards.

Best Regards.

Grant,

I have not heard the F30, but the B&W Nautilus 803 is excellent for your music needs. My brother has the same music needs as you and he used a pair of N803 for a few years driven by a Jeff Rowland amplifier. The N803 delivers a wide and deep soundstage with excellent imaging, accurate harmonics and timbre, and a clean midrange withe just a little bit more sweetness and warmth in the vocal midrange compared to a live concert. The well designed enclosure also gives it a box free sound.

At a used price of $3300 to $3500, the N803 is worth every penny. If you can spend $500 to $700 more, a pair of Wilson Watt 3 Puppy 2 is even better than the N803.
