Better speaker value here?

Thank you for your response. I have a line on a pair of 2's that is close enough to 10K. I don't find the looks of the 1's to be so awful. Just my opinion.

Thanks for all replies. I would love to hear from someone that has heard both the 1's and the 2's and could speak to the issue of how much the 1's give up to the 2's in terms of overall performance. Even at $10K, the 2's are quite a chunk of change for a working class guy like myself. If the original salons are close enough, I might "settle" with them, and put the extra 5K somewhere else. Running Mythos ST set up now.

Thanks Teeshot. Exactly the kind of response I was after. What was it about the V3's that you preferred to the Salon2's? Also, the speakers will need to pull dbl duty in my HT. Does Magico even make a center channel?
