In my limited listening experience this far - about 4 years into a system build - and probably have listened to a dozen brands(and numerous models) of speakers. From Sonus Faber, B&W , to Vandersteen and PSB - my most memorable experience to date was listening to a pair of the Aerial 7Ts. Just incredibly enjoyable sound - I have not heard the Revels, so no direct comparison for you. I currently own a pair of PSB Sync 1s - which are very good - but see myself saving for the Aerial 7ts in the long term. My setup is Ayre integrated and CD, with PS Audio as my computer DAC - a bit of a Boulder CO setup.
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.
