Revel Gem/ B&W 802

Anyone played with a pair of Gems. How do you compare them to a floor standing B&W 802. Will I need to use a sub with the Gems to get enough low end? I'm running a Krell FBP200C.

When I owned mine, I already had a subwoofer which helped, but I think you would be surprised at how much bass you get from them. Their clarity is absolutely superb. Don't pass up Gems without hearing them.

The N802s are in the better league than the Gems: more like between the Studios and the Salons ($15k, on a good day). With the N802s you don't need a subwoofer for clean, clear music.

For the price of the Gems, you can get the F30's and a B-15 subs AND still have $2k to spend on the wife for just spending $6k on toys!! :) Michael
