Revel or Aerial


If you had an opportunity to go from Revel F208s to Studio 2s or Aerial 7Ts, which one would you choose. The price is the same; therefore is not a consideration. I don't have an opportunity to listen to the Aerial 7Ts prior to purchase. My system consist of the following: Parasound Halo A21, NAD 565bee CD Player, getting NAD M51 to replace Peachtree Nova preamp, and Revel F208s.

I would not even consider the F208's if you can get the studio2 for the same price. I was not impressed with the F208's. The Studio2's are in a different category.
I agree guys, that's part of why I said if you are happy with them you should go for electronics though. I went through about 5 different pairs of dynamic speakers when I moved away from the 3.6's before ending up back at the 3.7's. If you like the speakers you have you should get them sounding their best and then perhaps in the future move speakers
I stand by my statement that the studio2's are in a different leage from the f208's. I won't comment on if you should change equipment as there are to many options out there to randomly suggest anything. I would still suggest the studio2's as they are a much better speaker regardless.
I personally think that speakers make the biggest difference, but if your happy then go for electronics. To answer your question, I did not compare them in the same room but similar systems. My friend owned the Studio2's and I owned the F208's. To be honest thought I bought magnepan 3.7's after I sold the revels and I love them, in my system they have more bass than the F208's had etc. I was pretty disappointed in the 208's. After hearing the Magnepans in my system my buddy with the Studio2's actually sold them and bought 3.7's. He says that they are better than the studio's were to him. Associated equipment in both systems are pass labs amps, esoteric SACD players, and tube preamps.
