I am volunteering. For preference score vs price, for Revel there is almost linear, and quite steep, relationship between score and price, starting from the relatively inexpensive M105s/M106:

Interestingly, this relationship breaks when looking at preference scores with subwoofer:

where M105/M106 dominate the scores. What does it mean? One interpretation would be that the primary advantage of big, expensive floorstanders is LF extension, take that away and well designed bookshelves get to shine (assuming an ideal sub integration, of course).
You win the internet tonight for doing this analysis! Very interesting.
Also, some smart person a little earlier predicted this. I think he wrote:
"It might be an interesting experiment to plot $ vs pref score (w/sub) for Revel speakers only. I would predict that the correlation is poor or only weakly positive."
Lotsa smart people here.
So the next question is: "Gee, so does that mean I can add a subwoofer to an M105/106 and make it sound just as good as a Salon2?" And I think we all know the answer to that... uh oh...
