ok, I now have the studio 2s in my listening room on loan from a friend. I have to say in some ways they are better than my f32s, but are less forgiving, and less warm sounding than the f32s. its very suprising how different they are voiced. you would not think they are from the same company ! I have to say, unless there is something wrong with this pair, they are not worth over 4 times the cost. i was much mor impressed with the salons, they seem to be a much better speaker than the studio 2s, almost like all the time and effort and r&d went into the salons , and the studios were an after thought. could this possibly be? i used to love the sound of the old studios, a very good speaker. right now I think i would rather have the old ones vrs the new ones, but this is not the case for the salons. maybe its a system mismach, i dont know. post more later. chrissain
