"now we come to the real deal: what's important."
My opinion, in this order:
1. Low distortion, especially in the bass
2. Controlled directivity to give good coverage without including too much of the room.
3. Placement in the room.
4. Bandwidth and frequency response
I have not heard either speaker. But from everything I have seen online, I think that Wilson and their dealers do such a great job with number 3 that they overcome their measured bandwidth & frequency response "deficiencies". Plus, our ears are much more tolerant of frequency response deviations than we think, so I can understand their loyal following.
With that said, if you can get the first three things on my list along with flat response and bandwidth from 20hz to 20khz, it seems to me you have it all. At least on paper, Revel sure seems to have the potential to achieve that.
