SP Tech Revelation III - how good?

I've previously had a thread about speakers to replace Kharma 3.2 FEs in a 5,000 cubic ft room, but it has died with my last question, viz, what about the SP Tech Revelation. Could anyone who has heard/owned these speakers please tell me (1) Can they fill this space, placed close to the rear wall of a 23 X 17 X 15 ft space? (2) Has anybody driven them with a tube amp (A-S 2.2 220 WPC)? (3) All the hype has been about the bass they deliver - how are the midrange and HFs? (4) Are they in the same league as Vandersteen 5a, LS 9 arrays, Zu Definition 2s and Coincident True Reference? I know they're not ideal loads for OTLs, being 4 ohms, dipping to 3.3, so ignore that part - that's why I asked about tube amps, but dont want to re-do the long discussion that tube amps prefer 8 ohms. Thanks for your time.

Springbok 10, even if you were looking for information regrading the Concident Total Reference and not the SP Tech Revelations III, I would highly recommend you put on your audition list the Revelations.

I wrote a review of the SP Tech Revelations III here on the GON, they offer world class performance and are one of the best speakers I have ever had the pleasure of listening to. They would effortlessly fill your room with music without breaking a "sonic sweat". For more details regarding their sonics go to my review. I have heard the Concident Total Reference, and their smaller brothers and found them to offer good performance, but don't believe they are on the same sonic level as the SP rev's.
