Revel’s Sound Signature


Nowadays, there are few and far between good audio stores to demo new speakers. There used to be several in my town years back. I am curious as to what currrent brand(s) people think come closest to Revel. 
Also, do you think that NHT and Paradigm have somewhat of the same sound signature?

Modern Wilson’s (but not earlier generation) and Monitor Audio are not too far off. The Revel’s off-axis response and imaging is really good, so it shares that with modern Magico, but doesn’t have the coolness or mid bass bump of the Magicos I hear.

Last time I heard NHT it was a real R&R speaker, I would not have characterized Paradigm that way at all, but my experience with both is limited. Actually I remember NHT being a real ear drill. Closer to Dali, but harsh, as opposed to just more treble.
