I bought mine new, and lived with these for five years. (Interestingly enough, I sold mine at the same time in their lifespan that you bought yours!)
They are, IMHO, a very good speaker all around. (To be honest they are not truly "great" in any one area either, but neither are the less than good in any one area either.) They image and soundstage very well. They have very good frequency extension, especially in the treble region. They are very detailed without being too analytical.
A very solid choice. Well done.
However, unlike you I found the bass to be quite tight and fairly well extended. (Although I would point out that I was using higher powered amps than yours - 200 wpc Lamm M2.1 hybrid monoblocks.) I did find that the Studios don't go down all the way to 20 Hz, but they do go down to around 25 Hz or so with room reinforcement. I recommend pulling them out from the wall though, to minimize the sound reflections from the rear port. (That will help with the bass sounding a bit "loose" as you suggested.)
In case you're interested, I ended up moving on from the Revel Studio speakers to the EgglestonWorks Andra II speakers a few years ago. They basically do everything the Revel Studios did, but with a higher level of refinement. (And at twice the cost, they should!)
Again, Congrats on finding a speaker that appeals to your sense of musicality so well.
