I can't comment on the two you mention, but I have these and love them. Powered by NAD D 3045 in my office area. Seems like a good deal on these.

I only own DBR 62, but I remember reading DBR 62 and Revel m16 are pretty comparable.

I've had the DBR62 and M16. I preferred the m16.

The dbr62 were polite and neutral. Male vocals really shined on these. They are great speakers.

The M16 sounded more exciting and open. I preferred it listening to more types of music.

Also keep in mind the dbr62 is silk dome and M16 is aluminum dome tweeter.

Crutchfield has an auditioning period. Ship the speakers back if you don't like for $20(?)

No experience with the polks but I absolutely love my debut references. They are 6ohm, and thrive with plenty of power. Really amazing bang for the buck here.

Not sure what is the question, guessing it's about how they sound.
Having experience with them I couldn't tell you how they would to you.

I would say it comes down to their sound signatures so you will get many opposing opinions.

I kinda agree with JsLs post & add Polks fall closer to the 62s.
Keep in mind your power, placement & room environment plays an important role here also.

In general terms I would say not to expect adequate bass extension without a sub with all three.
They are not very efficient so they tend to like power especially the m16s.

These are front ported while the r200 & m16 are rear ported.

If this a blind buy check what the return policy is and start with the least expensive.

You can't really go wrong with any of them, at this price range, it's really more of preference. Personally, for bookshelf, don't see the need to go over this. That is to say, these are a great buy and you'd have to work pretty hard to be disappointed in them.

Gotta be one of the dumbest comments I've seen on SD

I am being attacked for telling the truth!!
Quote from swiggityswooty :
I ain't the one paying $1500 for a magic sound box (and JUST the box) tbh
I have to agree with him, it was!

No one should attack you. It may be true but it's only your "truth", you can believe whatever you want!

BTW at that Dolby screening they also use "magic sound boxes(and they are JUST boxes)" and they are not cheap!
You also do not have to spend "tens of thousands of dollars" to get an optimal setup in a home.

For me personally, my setup at home easily outperforms a movie theater.
The sound is the least favorite of going to the movies, loud does not equal better for me.
