Revel Salon 2 vs. Revel Studio 2


I am thinking of either of these as my next speaker. I had some Von Schweikert VR4SRs for a couple of years before this. I have been messing around listening to some smaller speakers and monitors. I want something full range. All that I can read suggests the Revels will perfectly suit my system and tastes (Parasound JC-1 amps). My room is 18x26x8 and is wood floor on joists with carpet (no slab) I've always struggled to get real bass in this room. The VS were pretty good down really low but suffered in the mid bass region. I can pretty much do what I want in this room, but it is my living room so I don't want tube traps and treatments all over it.

I like the idea of the smaller size of the Studios but don't want to sacrifice to much either. Hearing these for myself is out of the question since there is no dealer anywhere near that has them.

Just wondering if anyone has done some real comparing of these and can offer up some advice.

Thanks, Ryan

Hi, I have heard both, and if you can swing it I would go for the salons , they have fuller midbass than the studios, and revel will tell you the same thing. if you get the studios, go with shandorns advice and get a good sub to go with it. the are both very good speakers. good luck, chrissain.
