Sophias vs. Revel Studios


I'm totally stumped, although either one will probably be happiness.

You got one high class problem there. The Revels need some serious amp power...be aware of that...Will narrow ($ wise) your amp options....unless of course money isn't a factor. Hey, but isn't it always?
You know Warrenh knows his stuff pretty well and did a killer review on the sistrum monitor stands. However as far as power I think the efficiency of the amp may have a lot to do with the studios. I agree that with ML or someone else you might need a 250wpc into 8ohms or better. On the other hand I am driving mine with Harmonic
Precision amps at 110 wpc and more than 97% efficiency and unless I'ved snowed myself for no reason they are absolutely dynamic. I have also heard them with spectrals that were 150 wpc and while I felt the spectrals were way too bright they drove them pretty good.
I owned the studios but now have the salons. I listened
to the sophias at a dealer and was very impressed.
I'd take the Wilsons.
