B&W 702s or Revel F208s


I can have either one for the same price. Which ones should I get? Any alternatives for $5K floorstandes tops? Same sound character.  Thanks

I dont know what @dweller means either... but I will always prefer Revel's over B&W's based on the smoothness and wide dispersion of the mid to treble range. 

You however really should listen for yourself. :) 

Listen to Monitor Audio in same price range. Sometimes on ridiculous sales from online like Music Direct or Audio Advisor.
I have listened to both. Three times each already. Still torn. The f208 did sound slightly better to my ears. Better bass, and better soundstage (Best I had ever heard). The 702s were a bit more refined.

I had listened to Monitor Golds. They were too “polite “ for my tastes 

i loved the Paradigm Persona, But way above my price range.

i like the Focal Electra 1028s too
F208

B&W sound "refined" because they are colored to sound hi-fi to untrained ears. Revels are far more neutral and simply a better speaker as they will sound natural.

The motors on the 702 look really cheap - this is a low cost design.
