heard them both, the salon2 without question is the best speaker I have ever heard, regardless of cost. puts most other speakers to shame, including any of the wilsons. If you like forward bright sound the wilsons might be your thing, but the revels have the best intergration of drivers
I have ever heard ,more real timbre than anything I have heard, the most natural midrange with gobs of detail, in all the revels just sound far less colored than most other
speakers including the older revels. sorry I actually like
wilson speakers in generall , I just think that the days of wilson being the best speaker out there are over. other speakers have caught up and serpassed them in technology.
at the end of the day it does come down to personal preferences, in the past I have liked, and still do like the wilsom max2s, and the wilson sofias, i think overall
they are a great speaker, but after hearing the new revels the wilsons have a much harder time justifying there existence, the revels sound much less colored from top to bottom , with much better driver intergration than any wilson I have heard, and yes I do think the wilson tweeter is voiced a little on the bright side, but your tasts may differ... I say this not to offend any wilson owner , or anyone else for that matter . I think that you can put a great sounding system together with wilsons, I also can say that for right now the revels are without question the best speaker I have heard regardless of cost, and I have
heard some very expensive speakers out there !
