Opinions wanted: 10-30K Speakers for Jazz/Folk

Daveman2, humans have been killing and mutilating each other from the very beginning. That is how we evolved as no other critter could compete with us. There are always going to be nasty people. Get use to it. Maybe someday in 500 to 1000 years we might evolve out of it. I am Jewish and there is still plenty of anti Semitism around. I could care less. I do not blame the German people currently alive. I even own a Porsche and Ferdinand Porsche was pro Nazi in the beginning. 
All you can do is be successful and set an example. If you are lucky and in the right position maybe you can figure out a way to get people out of the ghettos. The big problem is not racism it is socio-economic.   

nhb1 I know absolutely nothing about Revel speakers. They have never been on my radar for some reason. 

Watt-Puppies

Since no one else has mentioned - GoldenEar Triton Reference. I have them in an 18x30x8 room, powered by Pass Labs INT250 and Luxman D05-u. I listen mostly to singer/songwriter and progressive rock. I love everything about this set up. Bass is great (no need for sub woofer), mid range is amazing, highs are unbelievable. The soundstage is wide and deep. I haven't had a single person that has come over to listen not be totally blown away by the sound.

I have $30K speakers I love a lot. But I will always miss my Quad 57s. Especially if you listen to folk and jazz, the Electrostatic Solutions Quads are $6500 and will thrill you for years or for ever.
They draw one into the music unlike any.
