B&W N805 vs. Revel M20


Anyone had a chance to compare these two? I've heard them both, but have never been able to do a side by side comparison. Thanks.

I have compared both. (there are threads galore on this. check the archives) I went with the M20s. This was an easy decsion. They, for my ears, were better in almost every way. Do not go with their stands, though. They (the 805s, too) are poor and will have only a deleterious affect on your music. Read, (in the archives, too) my review of the Sistrum Mini Monitor support system. Have your M20s (or 805s, or Dynaudio 1.3s) sit on top of those babies and you'll freak. Trust your ears. I liked the M20s better than the Dynaudio 1.3s. Some like the 1.3s. Go with what makes your tympanics tingle. Good luck.
Good point, about associated equipment. I have a very toasty system (for SS that is--YBA Passion,Audio Aero Prima )and the M20s work beautifully. What can I say? They work for me. I love 'em.
peace,
