@immatthewj I don't think you love the Revels. By this time you should be happy with them - if they had your name on it. Are you considering to switch them, find a better fit?
Would Totem Arro's be a significant upgrade from Kef Q150's
My listening room is on the long/narrow side 8' x 18' x 8' high. Therefore I listen in the nearfield, speakers (Kef Q150's) are 5' apart and myself 7' away from them. I very much enjoy the sound I'm getting from them. My setup is Yamaha A-S501 with chromecast audio going into the optical input, streaming Spotify premium. My speakers are 2' away from the rear wall and I find the bass is plentiful that I don't use a sub woofer. I have the opportunity to purchase a pair of used Totem Arro's which would work in my room as far as tower speakers are concerned. I am quite happy with the sound I'm hearing now, but if this would be a significant improvement I would purchase the Arro's and sell my Kef's. Type of music I listen to is a lot of acoustical, alternative/indie, a little classic rock.

@immatthewj I think you should keep trying until you fall in love with something. (And then, that love will only last for a year |
@immatthewj I know nothing about the Voltis. As you know, I treat my OCD with silly projects like this https://speakerchoices.com/ maybe it can help you. I think any 2-way small-ish speakers will have limitations. I have been successful with subs and lucked out with speakers and I know it's very personal, so the more I know the more I would keep my mouth shut. But if I couldn't I would suggest that you are a British speaker person.

@immatthewj my period of apathy is at least until 2028. There is no way I could spend my way out of it |
@immatthewj I think you have become too analytical*. (Anal as some would say.) Focus on the music, forget the sound, for a little bit. It seems to me the Revels are great speakers, from your description. *I am doing it with amps now |
