Revel Salon 3?

James63,

You like the Salon2 more so than the Thiel 3.7? It would be interesting to hear your opinion. I have read quite a bit of your posts during my speaker research activities and found them informative.

I owned the Salon1 for quite a long time in a great spacious room. While I enjoyed the heck out of them I prefer the Thiel 3.7 more than the Salon1. The Salon 2 sounds different on the top end than the Salon1. Maybe better but I have not heard it at my home to say for certain.

It was a shame the Revel changed the looks of the Salon1 when they designed the 2. The Salon1 had a cool modern look in my books.

The bass on the Salon are out of this world. I just loved that.

James63,
I totally agree with your assessment of the Thiel 3.7 relative to the Salon. I would not go back to the Salon since I have already owned it but if somebody gave me one as a gift I would happily take it.

I am doing some active searching now. I heard the TAD Evolution 1 recently and liked it but not enough to commit to it. I liked the Salon better. I think the audition room was not correct due to lack of side walls. I also heard the Wilson Alexia at the same store and was blown away. Some fantastic sound. I was never a WIlson fan but I left thinking what extra job can I do to afford that speaker. Normally I would never consider such an expensive speaker.

I am going to listen to the KEF Blade at the end of the month. So far the Thiel 3.7 is still my number 1 choice due to financial sanity issues.
