Former Revel Salon Owners: What Did You Switch To?


I have had Revel Salons for about eight years, and am toying with the idea of retiring them in favor of something new or different. I am curious to know what others replaced their Salons with, and how happy they have been with their Salon replacements. I am especially interested in choices where the replacement speaker was roughly equivalent or even less than the price of the Salons. Did you consider it an improvement, or just a lateral move, or a step back? What did you learn about the quality of the Salon by virtue of your experiences with a new speaker?

Please share your post-Salon experiences.

ttowntony- The Avalon Isis are $65k new! I don't think that's in the ball park for Jeff, and certainly out of the league for this comparison. Maybe you meant a lesser Avalon model? However I agree they are excellent (they had better be at $65k!!).

I also agree with your suggestion of C-4's. I recently compared the latest version of the Salons to the C-2's in the same room with the same pieces driving and actually preferred the less expensive C-2's more natural laid back tone and deeper more defined soundstage. The C-4's should be a step up from the C-2's and they go for about $9-$10k used.
