Thiel 7.2 or Revel Studios

I can speak highly of the Thiel 7.2's they are a wonderful speaker very tight and accurate with a big soundstage when properly setup. They need quite a bit of current to get them moving but I am sure that the Krell can do that I am using a McIntosh MC-602 and Nordost Valhalla's which give a great presentation. As a side note Thiel is an allstar when it comes to customer service I had Cs-6's before the 7.2's and I poped a tweeter they fedexed me a replacement at no charge so I could be up and running for some out of town company. I am not very familiar with the Revel but I have heard good things about them I just have had such good luck with Thiel I could not give anyone else a fair shake Thanks and good listening

Between the two, I prefer the Thiels because they are so revealing. For my taste, the Revels are too laid back. I fully support Jdevine's observations about the great customer service at Thiel. But, from my experience, the Thiels can be a bit harsh sounding when partnered with a bright amp -- synergy is critical with any speaker. When I owned the Bryston amps, I needed to move to MIT speaker cables to find the magic with my Thiels. If the Krells falls into the "bright" category, you may want the Revels if you don't want to change too many other parts of your system (it's been a long time since I've heard Krells so can't remember how they sound). Otherwise, my vote would go to the Thiels based on my tastes.

Revel Studios are more musical to my ears. Thiel has always been a bit grating on my ears. FWIW.
