revel F50's -- talk me out of buying them

I'm about to purchase a pair of Revel F50's. I have Bryston 7B-ST's, a Rogue 99 preamp and a Meridian 508-24. I listen to just about everything and my room is medium sized (15x20 approx).

Is there another speaker I should buy? I've heard the Revels twice and both times I found them to be very competent and non-fatiguing across the board. Not the last word in excitement during auditions, but I assume that will mean that I won't get tired or annoyed by any quirks.

Before I plunk down the big bucks next week (I know they are not expensive to some of you, but they are to me) I want to see if any of you can talk me out of the purchase. Give it your best.

Thanks,

Rich

I put a review on avsforum a few mths back (username is Michael7272). I found them to be some of the best speakers I have ever heard!! The only thing that I would do to stare you away from them, here on Audigon the Studios can be had for about $7K which might be another option for you.

I think what impressed me was how effortless they played using the Levinson No.383 which at 100WPC is no powerhouse but it showed me the F50's don;t need oodles of power to shine!

Good Luck
Mike
