I only have a minute, but I have heard both. My personal opinion, being what my ears told me, since I did not buy either pair, was that the Studio is the "better" speaker. Better to me musically. Now, I did not hear them in the same room, so obviously not at the same time. However, they were both paired with very similar equipment (ML amps and pre-amps). Send a reply and I can give you more details tomorrow.
Revel Salons or Studios?
I've heard the Studios in a 18x18x8 demo room. Driven by a 150 w/c Naim. They sounded absolutely stunning. Plenty of bass, dynamics and imaging etc.
So I'm convinced I want a pair but my room is 15x9x40 feet. I'd be driving the speakers with a Krell KSA200s that would develop about 400 w/c at their nominal 4 ohms so I don't think I have a power problem.
The question is will the Studios be OK in a room with approx twice the volumn as the demo room. I'm not looking for an excuse to buy the Salons but I don't want to be surprised (negatively) with a lose of performance when I get the studios home.
No I've not heard the salons nor do I have the option of home demo.
