ancient thread but both speakers are becoming affordable to the working class music lover. System matching, room\room placement, personal preference all matter the biggest factor is that Revel and Kef I own 107/2, 105/3 from kef and salon 1 from revel and both companies use their $$$ in the R&D dept first marketing less, solid engineering means years of trouble free enjoyment. BTW Focal is making some beautiful music for $10k and less.
