The TAD ME1 monitor maybe better on the mids and highs than the Salon. I owned Salon1 for a long time and I actually prefer my KEF LS50s over the mids and highs on the Salon1. I understand the Salon2 has the BE driver but I am not a huge fan of the top end on the Salons. The bass on the Salons are awesome, especially in my former large room. The TAD ME1 is an extremely good speaker. A couple of newer monitors that would work with subs are:
TAD ME1
Vivid Kaya S12 (new model not yet released, I like the Kaya 90)
Vimbeg Amea (a bit of excitement on this one)
KEF Reference 1 (is now an oldie but I love this one too)
I am going to buy the Yamaha NS 5000 and the mids on that are extremely realistic. There is an A'gon thread by me on this speaker giving details where you can hear it. It is a unique cutting edge design with a unique driver material.
