Why should i be a fan of Revel speakers?


Hello Agoners,
I have/ had owned a long list of entry level Sonus Faber Speakers from Concertinos to Tiutos, so I'm very familiar with their (entry level) house sound. Now, I'm looking to add more to my collection and Revel speakers come up. 
Please tell me why should I (or should not) be a fan of Revel?
How diff in house sound from SF?
On my radar are the like M20, M22, f30, f32 Ultima Gem.

My electronics are 
Cdp: Cary 303, Bryston bcd1
Integrated amp: Cayin k88t tubes
Preamp: Jeff Rowland Capri
Amps: Belles 350 v2, Belles 150 v2, Threshold s500.

Thanks

Here is my 2 cents worth..
Over 4 hours today....
Auditioned the Aerial 5T, B&W 805 and the Aerial 6T and Aerial 7t.

The Aerial 5t with and without JL audio e112.
First wanted to hear the jazz, female vocal and classical capability. Glad to hear the music without the harsh glaring  overtones I sometimes have with my current speakers.  All jazz and vocals were sweet. Very nice.
Listened to some rock and pop. Still ok just not moved I my seat.

B&W 805's hooked up.  Very expensive.  Ouch. Not sure what they were thinking with this model.

T6 alone with sub.  Much fuller good not harsh treble good bass and miss.  7t is a even tighter bass and more of a good thing.  You just need the room for them.

Added the jl audio E112 to the aerial 5T.  Now we have music.  Perfect jamming Led.Zepplin, Amy Winehouse... Then curteous Sir Neville Mariner
