How does Revel Ult. Salon II compare to B&W 800D?


I have been researching speakers for my home system and thought that I would only look at B&W 800D, 801D, or 802D. But I received so many e-mails recommending the Revel Ultima Salon II that I thought some of you folks might have compared the two. I'll be powering the speakers with a pair of McIntosh 501s. Thanks for your insights.

I've auditioned both with Mcintosh 501's.
I can't articulate audio adjectives as well as most of the b*llsh*tt*rs here.
IMHO 800 series were robust and musical at volume, unremarkable at low volumes. Salon 2's accurate and tight at low volumes, thrilling at volume.
My money to Salon 2's.
