Revel GEM or Wilson Cub 2 ?

I am thinking about upgrading my beloved Wilson Audio "Cub 1" speakers, which function really great in my 19 m² room. Now I have the chance to purchase one of the aforementioned speakers. From what I have read about the speakers I prefer the Revel.

- Has anyone ever compared the Revel GEM to the Cub2?
- Is the GEM capable of delivering enough bass? I was quite surprised, how good the Cub 1 performed in that area and need a speaker that can deliver at least 50 hz at higher volumes.
- Would the Revel F-50 be a good pick for my room or is it just too big?
- Any other suggestions?

Thanks very much!

Best regards,

Benedikt

Why 50 hz at high volumes? What are you purposes/uses/expectations, for the speakers? Are you planning home theater? Or just 2 channel stereo? And, if a big room, why smaller monitors? I'm confused here. If Home theater, you're DEFINITELY going to cross em over much higher anyway! Or at least you SHOULD.

Er, um, Ok, so why smaller speakers? I'm confused.
Whatever, anyway, I think the Cubs play lower, yes, and they're probably more sensitive and dynamic as well, all things equal. However, the Gems are more flexible a bit. Wilson recommends keeping Cubs on "those stands". I like more flexibility, depending. Still, you're in the same league with these. I'd still go large speakers though.
