I’ve owned the B&W 702 S2’s in the past and heard the 802 D3. I actually preferred the 702 S2’s over the 802 D3 that I heard at the time, since the latter sounded too bright to me (though to some extent it could have been the room). So I bought the 702 S2’s, and had them for a while.
I got a fair bit of enjoyment out of the 702 S2’s, but started to notice something was wrong when only a very particular set of music genres or tracks sounded really good on it. In fact, the vast majority of music sounded way way too harsh and bright, painfully so.
But I just chalked it up to not all music being of the same sound / mastering quality. “Why is so much music mastered to sound so terrible?”, I thought to myself.
Well, I later learned that it wasn’t the mastering that was flawed. It was the speakers. I realized there were entire genres of music and a whole world of music and audio I was missing out on, when I bought some Mackie 8” studio monitors from Guitar Center for $500/pair for my computer setup, and found them to sound consistently good across a vast variety of music — even on tracks that always sounded bad on the B&W speakers.
In fact, I kept finding more and more tracks that sounded fantastic on the neutral speakers, but sounded way too bright or harsh or just “wrong” on the B&W 702 S2’s (and my older B&W CM6 S2’s).
So to OP, I highly suggest (if you are still comparing them) trying out new tracks you haven’t necessarily selected for. Because there is one major pitfall of using test tracks you’ve selected that sound good on your current speakers to evaluate other speakers: Using test tracks that sound fantastic on a colored speaker you’re familiar with (B&W) to test neutral speakers (Revel) is going to inevitably make the latter sound less exciting at first, because most likely those tracks were mastered “incorrectly“ against a neutral target. Similarly, using test tracks that sound fantastic on a neutral speaker is more likely to reveal the colorations and deviations from accuracy in other speakers.
Now, if you have a particular collection of songs you really really like and they happen to sound best with B&W’s coloration, then that’s great and you get a good deal! Everyone is happy.
But if you’re like me and many others who enjoy a wide variety of genres, you may find that you’re missing out on a whole world of music that your B&W’s are subtly ruining. And if you use neutral speakers with good off axis response, you can always equalize them to match almost any coloration you want (aside from inconsistent off-axis response).
Personally, I’ve moved on from B&W and have no regrets whatsoever.
