Revel Studio or Salon?


Just listened to the Ultimat Studios in a room about 16 x 9 x 20 and they sounded wonderful. Actually better then wonderful. The question is I have a room about twice as long as the show room and am wondering if the base will hold up pushing a larger volume? The Studios were being driven by a 150w/c Naim and I have a 400 w/c Krell (at 4 ohms)so I don't have a power problem. THe question is do I have to go to the Salons? The dealer said the studios were better in some regards (imaging and frequency down to about 30Hz) and of course cheaper. I asked Revel and guess what? They said the Salons are $3-5K better. Daaa. The Salons place the tweeter about 5 inches higher then the Studios which I believe are at exactly the right hight for seated listeners.

I think the Salons are worth the difference in price, and have voted with my wallet. Both are terrific at their pricepoints, but the Salons deliver more than enough in image size and apparent ease of reproduction to justify the premium.
