Revel F-30 versus B&W matrix 802 series III

Long v. short
I would say depending on the size of your speakers, if they are small back the up to a short wall but if larger the wide wall will give you a more spacious sound. personnally I would go with the speakers aiming at the furthest wall. Especially if ...

McIntosh and Thiels
