Revel Concerta2 F36 vs Monitor Audio Silver 10

I think I may have narrowed it down to these two choices, based on reviewer comments about their sound character, but unfortunately, can't audition either in my area.  I'm very likely to commit the mortal audio sin of buying speakers without listening to them, but alas, they have to be better than what I currently have, which is nothing.  Not to mention, my wife wants something to fill the void of my recently sold speakers!  

I decided at the eleventh hour not to buy a pair of Performa3 F208's, without listening to those either, because I just don't want to spend that much on speakers at the moment.

There doesn't seem to be much out there on the Revel F36, presumably because it's so new.

Thoughts?

Hi, I was in in the market 2 years ago for a speaker upgrade from JBL LX66 Towers.
I auditioned Monitor Audio Silver 8 also the higher Gold range, not heard any Revel, had a home demo with Focal 836V and 836W.
I found the Monitor Audio speakers too bright, the Focal's were very good but B&W CM8,9 & 10 were a class above, instruments and vocals sounded more life like and natural on the B&W speakers, the
build quality also seem a notch above. I feel at any price point B&W speakers are hard to beat for any type of music. 
A top quality product. I bought a pair of CM10's and Focal 836W for my 2nd listening room, the B&W's are a class above the Focal in my opinion and anything else in the same price range, you would need to spend a considerable amount more to better the B&W CM range.
