I'm not sure I trust Paradigm anymore, expressed by myself and by others:

But I will relate my experience when I took a pair of Polk Audio LS90's home for a 10 day trial. They sounded great in the showroom with my own music, so I bought them. But when I A/B'd them against my existing Paradigm Phantom's, there was no question which of the two was the more neutral loudspeaker. The LS90 had too much bass, a muddled midrange, and strident treble in comparison. I didn't want to keep them knowing that I had something better.

The Phantoms are long gone, replaced by even more neutral loudspeakers from Nuance, Angstrom, Axiom, and Kanto. I don't think you'll get a good decision unless you can trial them in your own home, with your own music, and being able to A/B them almost simultaneously.

The one question that I'm still waiting for is how the Revel's compare with your M80v3. Is it a small or noticeable difference? I've had instances where what I had was better than it's replacement.
