Which speakers for top notch system
With your amps I would go with Kharma in small to medium rooms and Wilson in medium to large rooms. The Avalons need power and the more the better. You don't have to use it (cranked) they just need it. Peace and Good Listening, Pat. 
What amp for the Revel M20
Revel/Mark Levinson #383. Also new McIntosh. Peace and Good Listening, Pat. 
High Powered Speakers?
B&W Nautilus 801s. 
Am I the only one who thinks B&W is mid-fi?
Great post Joeb. I prefer to taylor my music. If you hear somthing mid-fi on a Nautilus its not the speaker, its something upstream. The Nautilus is not forgiving, its a quality speaker with different voices(models)you can use to suit your taste a... 
Which speaker is the master of IMAGING ????
After further listening in real world rooms I have to lean towards the Wilson Audio Watt/Puppy 7s followed by the Sophias and the Kharmas. Sound this good in a typical room only gets better when the room is tricked-out. The Kharmas and Wilsons are... 
Wilson Watt/Puppy 6 or 7 versus Sophia
Yes, They are both (WP/7&Sophia) outstanding. I have been searching for a speaker to replace my B&W N804s for 2 years. I belong to an audio club in Michigan and I travel to audio salons from New York to Colorado searching for a speaker tha... 
Cd player or Nautilus 804
I just had the pleasure to sit with an audio reviewer for 4 hours and listen to his system with both my music and his. The system was Kharma Midi- Grands, all Meitner digital, SME-Manley Steel Head- Clear Audio analog, feeding Tenor 75W OTL's and ... 
Which speaker is the master of IMAGING ????
The best I heard was Kharma driven by Tenor amps with all Meitner digital and SME analog thru a Manley Steel Head phono set up with all the cables Nordost Valhala. I wet myself.(drool) 
suggestion for amp to go with B&W N803
First any Levinson, they sound GREAT with B&W. Very smooth in the highs, which mates well with B&W, great mids and very good bass. Followed by Pass same reasons as ML, and Bryston. Krell is another good choice. Stay away from tubes. B&... 
Krell KAV and B&W 804's?
I have the N804's and they are very good speakers with classical, they are outstanding speakers with jazz and pop, and they are good (not great) with rock. I push my speakers with Levinson and I feel that Krell would be as good. It all depends on ... 
B & W N802's Vs Revel Studios Vs. Mezzo Utopias
I have B&W N804's with Sound Anchor stands. I have been listening to several speakers over the past year to try and find one that could replace the B&W. If you are real about your search and you trust your ears, the search is fun and educa... 
B&W VS Dynaudio .........
Damon, I have been told by a very trusted dealer friend that Verity Parsifals(I hope I spelled it correctly) are great sounding speakers. As for Jeff, the Wisdom's are planar speakers but they require doubling the amps and that could be expensive.... 
B&W VS Dynaudio .........
I have the B&W N804's with Levinson and I have been listening to different speakers because I feel I could be missing something or I just might be getting bored. Every time I listen to different speakers I return home and I hear just how good ... 
Revel Studios and?
Mark Levinson. I almost bought the Studio's. They sound GREAT. I heard them with the low powered stuff(the newer mono blocks-125watts). I'm still looking at speakers. Good Luck. 
what speakers to use?
Stop "LOOKING AT" speakers and buy the speakers that move you. Trust what YOU hear. May the Force be with you.
