Hello, I can comment on the Revel, Paradigm and B&W. I have had 802N's for some time. So I have auditioned the newer 802's, and find them too bright. I still enjoy the Nautilus is one of my systems.
I wanted to like the Paradigms. Pretty, choice of finishes, WAF etc.
But too bright and harsh...I liked certain recordings only. So I bought a pair of Revel Studio 2's. Easy to listen to, non fatiguing and I liked them more and more.. They love highly resolving components, and continue to surprise me, not fatigue me.
I recently swapped my Studio 2's plus some bucks for the Salon 2's. I have a large room and the upgrade was significant in terms of richness and bass.
And yes, I agree that the Revel's, Studios or Salons. are now going for about half retail and a bargain.
Upgrade the two channel and use what you have for the HT.
Thanks, Ken
